THE WEAKNESS OF PUBLIC MORALITY
In “Young Goodman Brown,” Hawthorne reveals what he sees as the corruptibility that results from Puritan society’s emphasis on public morality, which often weakens private religious faith. Although Goodman Brown has decided to come into the forest and meet with the devil, he still hides when he sees Goody Cloyse and hears the minister and Deacon Gookin. He seems more concerned with how his faith appears to other people than with the fact that he has decided to meet with the devil. Goodman Brown’s religious convictions are rooted in his belief that those around him are also religious. This kind of faith, which depends so much on other people’s views, is easily weakened. When Goodman Brown discovers that his father, grandfather, Goody Cloyse, the minister, Deacon Gookin, and Faith are all in league with the devil, Goodman Brown quickly decides that he might as well do the same. Hawthorne seems to suggest that the danger of basing a society on moral principles and religious faith lies in the fact that members of the society do not arrive at their own moral decisions. When they copy the beliefs of the people around them, their faith becomes weak and rootless.

<u>Answer:</u>
In sense and sensibility, Jane Austen created suspense using Foreshadowing (A).
<u>Explanation:</u>
Literary devices are narrative techniques used by the author to add excitement to the story and keep the readers glued to the story.
“Sense and Sensibility” by Jane Austen is a novel that displays the danger of having extra sensibility. She always uses simple and direct sentences in her novel. She uses irony when she talks about Marianne’s character telling that though she is generous, she is practical.
Foreshadowing is used because Jane created suspense regarding the climax and only throws hints. She also gives a false climax and we get to know the real at the end.
