Contrasts abound with Faith, the angel of Young Goodman, joining the fallen angel in his mind. His tale is a blend of simplicity and seriousness. But more importantly he portrays experiences, fears, and feelings that, at least in part, his readers share in the sense they may experience similar doubts and wonder about the nature of their own morality and mortality.

Melville would say of Hawthorne that his writing was "as deep as Dante". There is abundant evidence in this and the best of his early stories that Hawthorne has much magic in his prose. Jan 28, Vernon Ray rated it liked it Shelves: He tends to fall a little too deep into allegory for me, especially since they are transcendentalist allegories, which end up as meaning nothing and everything at the same time and usually ends up being neither.
I'm tired so I think that made sense. Jul 13, Mari rated it really liked it Shelves: This volume includes a brilliant short critical essay by Borges which articulates both the genius and limit of Hawthorne: Hawthorne writes as a dreamer of allegories and fables. However, too often the stories too clearly serve moral plots rather than our current taste for truth or fullness of character.
Well, what I love most about Hawthorne is how deftly he blurs the edges of ethics in both the individual and in Puritan society. Jan 30, Adam rated it really liked it. I enjoyed Hawthorne's tales.
They were entertaining and an interesting contrast to the Transcendentalists, like Emerson, who denied evil and suffering in man. Hawthorne does spend a lot of time on the darkness of men's souls but unlike Poe, he does not simply dwell in that darkness but tries to bring out a moral at the end of these tales. Since I'm reading this for my grad school class on Melville, it was good to see the connection between Hawthorne and Melville. Haven't read all of the short stories here, but I've read several of them over the course of two semesters, once for Gothic Fiction, the other for ENG There's some good ones in here, the others are just classic.
Man of Adamant, Wakefield, Read: Dec 31, Susan rated it really liked it. As a feminist, many of these stories made me angry because of the way the female characters were objectified and taken advantage of. However, I also enjoyed the way the stories unfolded and resolved themselves. If you're looking for strange, whimsical, dreamy short stories, this book would be a great place to start!

Jan 17, Mark Valentine rated it really liked it. Still a worthy collection from a man whose short stories are as legendary as his novels. Sep 09, Brookanne rated it really liked it. I have to admit that I hated The Scarlet Letter. It was torture to read. I am, however, really liking Hawthorne's short stories. Maybe it's easier to put up with his writing style when I know it's only for a few pages compared to an entire novel, or maybe The Scarlet Letter just wasn't my thing and I need to give House of Seven Gables or The Blithedale Romance a chance.
