How is the is the dark figure’s address to the people gathered in the forest, in paragraph 64,

1 answer:

4 0

The figure's speech is important to the story as a whole because it exposes the weakness of public morality at the same time that it destroys Goodman Brown's innocence.

The dark figure shows Goodman Brown and his wife Faith that all those people that they revered as godly and pure, like the town's Deacon and Goody Cloyse, a respected and pious woman, were present in the ceremony.

It reveals several sins and dark deeds these people have commited, allowing Goodman Brown to finally see the sinning nature of humanity. He renounces his naïve ideas about goodness and, now that he has seen the evil in man, he cannot trust anyone fully ever again.

Let's examine the options.

a) the Greeks, unlike the Cyclops, value meeting each other

This is the indirect sense we get from the passage, based on the way the Greeks express disdain toward the Cyclops for not meeting each other. The Greeks say the "Cyclopes have...no meeting, no consultation or old tribal ways" after calling them "giants, louts, without a law to bless them" and saying they live in ignorance.

b) the Greeks shun meetings and consultation

From the way the passage condemns the Cyclops for having "no muster and no meeting, no consultation...", we can tell the Greeks shun not having meetings and consultation. This option is wrong.

c) the Greeks, unlike Cyclops, live alone in caves

Based on the text - "Cyclopes have no muster and no meeting,...each one dwells in his own mountain cave" - Cyclops, not Greeks, are the ones living in caves. This option is wrong.

d) the Cyclops have taught the Greeks the value of society

We get the sense the Cyclops themselves don't know the value of society - in fact, they shut the world out ("each one dwells in his own mountain cave"). They are called ignorant louts "indifferent to what others do". This option is wrong.
