¡°THE MAYPOLE OF MERRY MOUNT¡± is another short story by Nathaniel Hawthorne, also published in his collection ¡°Twice-Told Tales¡± in 1835.
This story is about an incident that occurred in a place called Mary Mount during the Puritan era.
The settlers of Merry Mount live a free-spirited life, enjoying the May Festival. They are about to celebrate the wedding of a young man and woman by singing and dancing around a richly decorated maypole.
However, Endicott, a neighboring Puritan settlement, regarded this as a pagan and immoral act. He storms into Merry Mount with his armed followers, knocks down the maypole and arrests those participating in the festivities.
The main couple at the wedding in front of Endicott are overcome with anxiety and fear. Endicott orders them to strip them of their fancy clothes and cut off their hair, but is also moved by their love and solidarity.
He throws a wreath of roses over the couple's head, and although her life at Merrymount is over, he blesses her with solid love to help her through her difficulties ahead. The couple, relying on each other, leaves Marymount and blends into Puritan society.
This story shows the contrast between the strictness of Puritan society and a free life, and the power of love. The author depicts the contradictory aspects of the Puritans of the time through Endicott.
Summary
Bright were the days at Merry Mount when the Maypole was the banner-staff of that gay colony. They who reared it, should their banner be triumphant, were to pour sunshine over New England¡¯s rugged hills and scatter flower-seeds throughout the soil. Jollity and gloom were contending for an empire. Midsummer eve had come, bringing deep verdure to the forest, and roses in her lap of a more vivid hue than the tender buds of spring. But May, or her mirthful spirit, dwelt all the year round at Merry Mount,¡¦..
