Anderson Anderson is demonstrated as a noble and compassionate character as he attempts to keep the moral high ground and has hatred towards the other soldiers who disrespect women. Anderson is also a middle-aged, balding preacher from the woods of northern Ontario, who sees himself at the beginning, as the appointed moral guardian for the men. He was a Methodist lay preacher that liked to quote the Bible and criticises anyone for sinful behaviour. “Men, do you know you’re sinning in the eyes of the Lord?” (Page 14). Anderson was disturbed and antagonised by the other soldiers who were bursting through the door singing as well as being drunk and talking about prostitutes.

Jesus gave His life so we could spend eternity with Him in heaven. Luke’s first escape was the ultimate sacrifice. After Luke found out his mothers death, he got on his banjo and sang a song called “The Plastic Jesus.” While Luke prayed at the church, he kept referring to God as the “Old Man.” I think this is parallel to the “OLD TESTAMENT.” Upon returning from one of Luke three escapes, the other men are obsessed with learning about his adventures in the outside world. Luke finally tells them to stop feeding off me, which is an allusion of the

In bewilderment, they see the minister’s face covered with the black veil which creates commotion among them. There are speculations about the origin of the veil, nevertheless nobody dares to ask. Mr Hooper’s sermon is on secret sin, as the Puritans were obsessed with this theme. The veil induces in minister such emotions that the sermon is the greatest ever and causes in parishioners anxiety and at the same time disgust as it reminds and makes them aware of their own sins. The scene might be compared with that in the novel Scarlet Letter, where reverend Dimmesdale, suffering guilty conscience delivers the speech which makes all the people astonished.

Weir highlights this through costuming, for example, when Book wears Jacob’s (Rachel’s dead husband) clothes. The full shot of Book wearing the ill-fitting clothes, coupled with his uncomfortable facial expression, demonstrates his unsuccessful attempts at being completely accepted in the Amish community. His intruding presence in their community is symbolised by the act of his car knocking into the birdhouse, emphasising the disruption of harmony and peace. His stay with the Amish teacher Book that violence is not the key to solving problems, and competes with his rival Daniel for the affections of Rachel. However, his supreme ordeal is defeating the enemy, which he successfully accomplishes at the end, as shown by the close up shot the group of

Goodman Brown is already three months married to a young woman named Faith; still Young Goodman Brown is firm in his decision to attend the unholy spiritual union within the forest. He hesitates at first at the thought of his wife but thoughts of losing her upon seeing her pink ribbon wavering through the trees; he immediately loses his faith, too, and thrusts forward. Young Goodman strongly believes that he belongs to a family of strong devoutness, and that his whole Puritan Salem neighbors are virtuous, devout and worthy of Divine grace as their holiness conveys. Puritan doctrine educated people that all men are totally corrupt and obliges them to constantly test themselves to see that they are sinners and undeserving of The Lord’s Grace. In this kind of religion, the believers submissively acquaint themselves about the negative aspects of their being human rather than recognize the gifts they already acquire.
Roch’s mother sent a letter for another hockey sweater, but to Roch’s horror, this was a Canadian Maple Leafs sweater. After being forced to wear it, he went to the skating rink. When he arrived, he jumped on the ice, ready to play, but the coach said he would play on the second line. He wasn’t even playing on the third line. Suddenly
