Fire Worship

Fire Worship is a short story by Nathaniel Hawthorne. In "Fire-Worship, " the narrator muses over the "almost universal exchange of the open fire for the cheerless and ungenial stove" and praises fire as an indispensable element in human life. The short story have specific references to Zoroastrian fire worship and must be read in a religious light, arguing that the title invites us to adopt such a perspective.
