Nathaniel Hawthorne’s “Young Goodman Brown,” and Edgar Allan Poe’s “The Cask of Amontillado” utilize character responsibilities to create a sinister plot. For Hawthorne, protagonist Young Goodman Brown must leave his wife at home while he partakes in a night journey. For Poe, ancillary Fortunato covets a pretentious manner towards his wine tasting skills, and after being ‘challenged’ decides to prove his expertise by sampling Amontillado. Hawthorne and Poe showcase a theme of darkness but differ in their approach to the setting, characters, and fate of entrapment.

... let the girl go but she would have to eat the boy. She put Hansel in a cage and made Gretel heat the oven. Hansel kept giving her a bone instead his finger, so Ugly Witch kept saying that he was not fat enough. She hoped that if she kept avoiding the inevitable the demons would give up. The demons were angry, and they told her she had to eat Hansel that day or they would make her eat Gretel as well. The Ugly Witch made Gretel super heat the oven, then she leaned in to see if it was hot enough, as she leaned in she “accidentally” fell. Gretel screamed and tried to pull her out, for despite the Ugly Witch’s recent behavior Gretel still loved her. The Ugly Witch died.
The three young children were split. Henry lived with his grandparents, Rosalie was taken into another family, and Edgar was fostered by Mr. and Mrs. Allan. The Allan family was a foster family. They took him in and changed his name to “Edgar Allan Poe” but, never adopted him. He was baptized in the Episcopal Church in 1812 when Poe was three. The foster father, John Allan, was a very rich Scottish merchant that lived in Richmond, Virginia. He sold goods of tobacco, cloth, wheat, tombstones, and slaves. He spoiled and d...
Meyers, Jeffrey. Edgar Allan Poe; His Life and Legacy. New York: Charles Scribner's Sons, 1992.
From the very dawning of his existence, Edgar Allan Poe lived a life of hardship; a quality which was reflected in his writings. Poe was born the son of a pair of traveling actors. His father, David, was at best a mediocre actor who soon deserted his wife and son. His mother Elizabeth, on the contrary, was a charming woman and talented actress. His life, no doubt, would have been much different were it not for the fact that she died of tuberculosis in 1811 when Poe was not quite three. This event scarred him for life, for he would always remember "his mother vomiting blood and being carried away from him forever by sinister men dressed in black." (Asselineau, 409).
Violet is the eldest of the three Baudelaire children. She is the child who must put her feelings to one side and be there for her younger two siblings. Her name itself symbolises her personality. Violet is a colour that is full of life, and the flower is a beautiful one (symbolic code). Violet is perceived to be an inventor, as the narrator announces at the start of the film that whenever her hair is tied back, she is bound to be inventing something (audio code). People express their feelings in different ways. Instead of crying about the death of her parents, she creates a sanctuary, a shelter from danger, fear and hardship (technical and symbolic code). In doing this, she shows that she is emotionally strong, and is taking the role of the carer for her two younger siblings.
Poe builds suspense throughout the story, revealing some facts while withholding others. He deliberately leaves out these details forcing us to place the relationship between the wife and the narrator in our mind. By doing so, we then inject our own personal details, in order to relate to the wife, and even the narrator, on an intimate level. We all desire a happy and safe home life. Poe takes that basic human need for safety and security and drops it the hands of a madman. Poe allows the narrator to invite us directly into his twisted mind. The suspense increases when we fear that the home can be an unsafe place. The narrator then leads us down his path of drunkenness, violence and insanity, dragging behind him his poor wife and his beloved pets.

Edgar Allan Poe was a literary genius of his time. His works may seem eccentric but beneath the words and stories lies a solemn, alone boy whose only way of comfort and relief was through his pen. Of the critical reviews I have studied pertaining to Poe, never has such a varied difference of opinions been presented or suggested towards a writer. It is thought that his life had a major influence on his writing and by reading many of his pieces I agree with that statement.
Frances Allan, one woman who had been part of the charity helping Eliza, had convinced her husband John Allan to let them take little Edgar in, but they never formally adopted him. John had promised David Poe’s relatives that Edgar would receive a proper and good education. John sent Edgar at the age of five to a teacher named Clotilda Fisher and then after that to William Ewing, the Richmond School master. Mr. Ewing noted that Edgar was quite charming and enjoyed school.
