Question : The narrator in Nathaniel Hawthornes Young Goodman Brown transfor

Question : The narrator in Nathaniel Hawthornes Young Goodman Brown transforms from an innocent, naïve, faithful Puritan into a jaded, gloomy, withdrawn human being. The narrator in Herman Melvilles Bartleby, the Scrivener, begins the story quite sure of himself and his comfortable position but ends the story saying, Ah Bartleby! Ah humanity! at the foot of his dead copyist. Analyze the transformative journey of each. Why and how do they each transform?
Question 2: The subtitle of Bartleby, the Scrivener is as a a story of Wall-street. Thus, one way to interpret the story is as a critique of capitalism. The narrator, after all, makes a lucrative living using his human copyists to produce deeds of title, which concern the buying and selling of property; moreover, Bartleby actually squats (lives in) the narrators office, without paying rent, and ends up in jail as a result. Henry David Thoreau, in Walden, also offers his observations on the problems of materialism, trade, and human technology. Analyze these two works as critiques of capitalism. What does Thoreau say is wrong with capitalism, and what is the solution? How does Bartleby enact a critique of American capitalism?
Question 3: Compare and contrast the poetry of Walt Whitman and Emily Dickinson. They both write about nature, about sex and death, and about the soul, but in very different ways, though also in some similar ways, too. Use any section of Whitmans Song of Myself THAT I ASSIGNED in last weeks lecture (EXCEPT Section 6, which I already analyzed) and any Dickinson poem(s) THAT I ASSIGNED in last weeks lecture (EXCEPT #359, which I already analyzed in my lecture.)
