Answer:
Vera tells the central character, Frampton Nuttel, that three years ago a great tragedy occurred in their family. According to Vera, Mrs. Sappleton's husband and two younger brothers set out for a day of shooting, and did not return. It was concluded that the three, along with their little spaniel, were engulfed in the treacherous bog; their bodies were never found. Vera tells Framton that her aunt, Mrs. Sappleton, speaks frequently about the day the three men and the dog purportedly met their demise, leaving the window through which they exited that day open, as if in expectation of their return. As Vera and Framton sit there by the open window, Vera shudders and tells the visitor that on "quiet evenings like this," she still gets a "creepy feeling that they will all walk in through the window."
Mrs. Sappleton comes in at this point, and, as expected, talks about her husband and brothers, whom she says have gone shooting but will be home soon, coming through the window as is their habit. Framton, who is in a delicate mental state, believes, because of what Vera has told him, that the men in question are dead, and that Mrs. Sappleton is delusional. Disturbed by the ghastly situation, Framton becomes completely unnerved when Mr. Sappleton, the two other men, and the spaniel do indeed appear at the window, and he bolts off in terror. Vera, of course, has misled Framton for her own amusement, and when the family wonders why their visitor has left so pricipitously, she dissembles further, saying that he was most likely afraid of the dog.
The theme of the poem "Landscape with the Fall of Icarus" by William Carlos Williams is exactly that, the Fall of Icarus. This theme was explored many times throughout many major works, however here it is explored as a background image, not noticed by hardworking people in the sun. Icarus falls and drowns, and nobody bats an eye.
In Hawthorne's Young Goodman Brown, the hole story is set in Salem Village and its surroundings. Goodman Brown, the main character, starts saying farewell to his lovely wife Faith, for he must travel for one night only.
He takes the road into a gloomy forest and is afraid of everything or anyone scary and devilish he might find. Goodman Brown finds who he was searching for to dismiss himself because he wanted to return home for his wife sake and because he and his family has been Christians since long ago. The man tries to convince him that he knows very well his descendants and most of the villagers and important people.
Confused, ashamed and afraid to be seen associating with that man, he hides when someone approaches, which he recognizes as an old woman considered respected and religious by all. She identifies the man as the devil and herself as a witch on her way to the devil’s evil forest ceremony.
Goodman Brown saw and heard most of the villagers and other known people going to the ceremony, including his beloved wife. He finally returns home in the next morning refusing to trust or believe in anyone including his wife. Everybody he passes seems evil to him. It get to be unclear if all of it was real or just a dream, but the rest of his life was full of gloom and fear.
All of the story, scenarios and situations can only be described as "mysterious, cryptic, and gloomy" (letter A).
