There are many similarities and differences between the two stories Night and Devil's Arithmetic. First I will give some background information on the two stories.

Dreams play an important role in our lives. Dreams are an opportunity for us to experience a life with no limitations. However, not all dreams are meaningless fiction. Sometimes, a dream can be identical to everyday life. In some cases it is extremely difficult to tell the difference between a dream and reality. Throughout history, studies show that dreams provide an insight into one’s own self. Dreams can show us who we really are and what we want out of life by tapping into our subconscious mind. They have the ability to be inspirational, life changing, and revealing. Certain aspects of the story “Young Goodman Brown” lead us to believe that he is merely dreaming.…

The religious concept of the Devil has faced numerous changes by society through different interpretations and representation to create new modernized ideas of what the Devil really is. This Devil originating from biblical teachings still holds value in society today, but it has also been changed to fit our own personal satisfying definitions that change from person to person, with many of these definitions sharing the same basic core beliefs. These different beliefs range from religious values, to cultural standards set by media outlets and everyday life. While researching texts written about past and present Christian-Devil relations and media extracts depicting the Devil in news lights, I found a relation between religious demonology, the…
