Everyone’s there even “faith “
Was it all a dream
•Hardly had he spoken, when he found himself amid calm night and solitude, listening to a roar of the wind which died heavily away through the forest. He staggered against the rock, and felt it chill and damp; while a hanging twig, that had been all on fire, besprinkled his cheek with the coldest dew…
The End result
everyone is going about their day but in young Goodman eyes they are no longer good Christian’s but hipócritas , his relationship to everyone has change and he feels alienated no matter if it was a dream or not
The critique of Puritanism
If one is always Judging but outside appearances , society setup is pretending to be something they are not and that is no room for sin but they are the biggest sinners

A gothic main character
rich man who just lost his wife, overcome with grief is the character haullention due to his lack of sleep because of his grief
A gothic theme
speaking in rhyme Skyme ,he ask all the wrong questions “ will I hug Lenore again”
A poem about the power of grief
Yes, the main character might have been driven insane that night. He might also have been close to “the edge” before this night.
But regardless of his mental state, this main character suffers from grief, that much is certain, and his grief colors how he sees everything. For him, death is everywhere.

The Road Not Taken Summary
is a poem that describes the dilemma of a person standing at a road with diversion. This diversion symbolizes real-life situations. Sometimes, in life too there come times when we have to take tough decisions. We could not decide what is right or wrong for us.
Nothing Gold Can Stay summary
\n using the metaphor of spring's ending to examine the transience of youth, beauty, and ultimately life itself. In early spring, the fresh buds on the trees are gold. This color is the quickest to disappear from the natural world, however. The fresh blossoms on the trees are flowers, but these flowers disappear quickly too. They turn into leaves that fall to the ground, just as humankind fell from the paradise of the Garden of Eden, and just as the promising early light of morning gives way to daytime.Nothing beautiful, fresh, or pure can last forever.
