Young Gordon Brown is about a young religious man who goes a trip. The story is full of different symbols and themes. I liked how many of the characters were symbols, but also the environments and other things that you didn't think would be.
Some of the symbols was his wife, the forest, his staff, and many others. This story was written during the Age of Romanticism, so it relates nature as almost evil, which goes along with the forest being considered sin in the story. His wife, named Faith, directly represents his faith in God.
Overall, I think Young Gordon Brown is a very good story that makes good use of symbols to illustrate the story better. It is a clear piece out of the Romanticism writing era and deserves a place in its history.
Nice post, Michael.
