问题 "My faith is gone!" cried he, after one stupefied moment. "There is no good on earth; and sin is but a name. Come, devil! For to thee is this world given. " Comment on this passage.
选项
答案A. This passage is taken from Hawthorne’ s Young Goodman Brown. Here Goodman Brown utters this cry when he finds his wife Faith, together with lots of prominent people of the village and the church, attending a witches’ Sabbath in the woods. B. His cry shows his great surprise and disillusionment. Thereafter, he becomes distrustful and doubtful. He lives a dismal and gloomy life because he is never able to believe in goodness or piety again. Here the author makes a pun of the word "faith. "Goodman Brown loses not only his faith in religion and life, but also his faith in his wife, for his wife’ s name is Faith. C. From this story, we also can see that Hawthorne is a great allegorist and a master of symbolism. The story itself is an allegory and is full of symbols such as the forest, the night, and the pink ribbon.
