"The Threefold Destiny (From 'Twice Told Tales')" by Nathaniel Hawthorne is a short story published in 1837. It appears in Hawthorne's celebrated collection, where previously anonymous magazine tales were gathered into book form. The collection showcased Hawthorne's distinctive style—praised by contemporaries like Longfellow as work of genius, yet critiqued by Poe for its allegorical tendencies.
