Choose one or two characters from either Nathaniel Hawthorne’s “Young Goodman Brown”
or Herman Melville’s “Bartleby the Scrivener” and discuss the ways in which each
experiences conflict (either with self, other characters, or with the social and/or physical
environment); the ways in which each attempts to deal with it, and the relative success or
failure of each. Who receives your deepest sympathy? Why? Include direct quotes from the
primary sources for analysis and support.
