Answer and explanation:

Odysseus is the main character in Homer's epic poem "The Odyssey", which narrates his journey back home after the war in Troy. At a certain point, Odysseus and his men end up sailing to the land of the Cyclopes, a race of one-eyed giants. The Cyclopes are quite uncivilized and not the brightest creatures on earth. One Cyclops, Polyphemus, immediately kills two of Odysseus' men upon their arrival. When Polyphemus asks Odysseus where his ship is, he replies that it was shipwrecked, in other words, destroyed and sunk, off the coast. Odysseus is lying because he is afraid Polyphemus will indeed destroy his ship. To prevent him from doing so and to be able to escape when the time comes, he tells the Cyclops there was a shipwreck.

katovenus [111]

<u>Answer:</u>

<em>This non-fictional story can be called an essay written to analyse the imagery and symbolism in “Young Goodman Brown”.</em>

<em>Option (A) is the correct answer.</em>

<em></em>

<u>Explanation:</u>

Nathaniel Hawthorne’s “Young Goodman Brown,” is an allegorical short story with the tinge of witchcraft. The imagery and symbolism used in this story creates an eerie atmosphere. From walking in the forest, meeting an old man looking just like his own self, then an old woman to Goodman hearing his wife’s voice and coming to an open field where a ceremony was being held – everything painted a gloomy and scary picture. The purpose behind creating such a plot is Hawthorne’s way of expressing his disdain towards the ideals of the Puritan society. Brown’s loss of faith at the end of the story shows that he has rejected the tenets of the Puritan world.
