Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })"The Maypole of Merry Mount" is a short story written by Nathaniel Hawthorne in 1832 and included in his Twice-Told Tales collection. An effort of Hawthorne's Historical Fiction that dramatized what was at least partially true of the conflicts of the Merrymount settlement in what is now Quincy, Massachusetts.The people of Merrymount are celebrating a marriage of a young male and female around the ceremonial maypole. Then John Endecott and his Puritan separatists show up and, well, those heathen practices just aren't in-line with their views.

Bittersweet Ending: The pagans are forced to join the puritans and abandon such frivolity of the maypole but the youths may not actually see that as a bad thing in the long run.

Grey-and-Grey Morality: Hawthorne presents us with two groups of people, both of whom came to the New World to escape persecution for their beliefs. However, he also shows that even here one group can just as easily persecute another. But at the same time, he doesn't really let either side present the situation as wholly black-or-white as they might want to present it themselves.

Bears Are Bad News: Averted, the dancing bear is apparently wholly tamed and peaceful. Endecott assumes this means witchcraft is afoot and orders the bear shot in the head.
