Team Nathaniel

I personally like stories of Nathaniel Hawthorne more than the stories of Poe. Hawthorne's stories have a lot of symbolism as do Poe's. The symbols in Hawthorne's stories are much easier to understand. Also, Poe has a lot of very dark writing where as Hawthorne's stories are not necessarily good but they are not as dark as those of Poe. The only problem I have with Hawthorne's writing is that sometimes he puts in too much detail and that detail makes the story boring. All together I think that Nathaniel Hawthorne's writing is better than the writing of Poe.
