1500 words on imagery within “Death in the Woods” (Sherwood Anderson) and “Young Goodman Brown” (Nathaniel Hawthorne). Katherine Docherty
The use of imagery within the novel or short story is imperative to convey the intended images of the author to the reader. Each story uses imagery to develop and enhance the narrative experience. The level of imagery used within the plot is not crucial in plot development, as I will demonstrate later with my own interpretation of imagery within the short story “Death in the Woods”. Imagery is utilized to produce atmosphere and to emphasize certain points within the tale. This is true of both prose and poetry, yet within prose it is possible to do this with less descriptive imagery and deal further with speech, comment, etc. ... How much emphasis the author puts on images, can portray or explore motivated symbols within the text. I have decided to look deeply into the use of imagery within “Young Goodman Brown” and “Death in the Woods”. ...
Within “Young Goodman Brown”, Nathaniel Hawthorne uses imagery to depict the feelings and emotions of the main character. ... We need to know how Goodman Brown feels about what he sees and hears to get a sense of his paranoia as he walks through the forest. The sounds that Goodman Brown hears on his journey do form an essential part of the narrative. ...
Goodman Brown is actually referred to in the story as “the listener” at one point in the story. There are many examples of the use of sound imagery within “Young Goodman Brown”. A key theme within the plot is that of sound. Goodman Browns unease is intensified with each new noise he hears and his imagination goes wild with his fears.
