MY ESSAY

Young Goodman made me think at the end of this topic. How if this really happened in reality or if everything was a dream? I wonder if saying goodbye to Faith was real, entering that forest and meeting the man with the cane.
The man he meets in the forest is using a snake as a cane to help him walk better. He offers it to Young Goodman. This portrays a part of the Bible using Adam and Eve as an example for the cane as the devil, but he rejects it, why? He says he is a good Christian and wants to return for love of Faith, why? Faith goes alongside evil and everyone else.
 Then I believe he takes the old man's staff because he was struggling to walk. Due to this he was zooming through the wood which lead him to a ceremony. A witches ceremony. Knowing this, he saw all his towns people and the ceremony including his wife Faith without her pink ribbon. The pink ribbon represent her innocence and how pure good of a person she is. Young Goodman Brown saw his wife at ceremony, he lost his trust for his wife. I believe after he left the ceremony he went to his home and saw all the towns people, but not the same way, he lost his trust for everyone including his wife Faith.

I think the author chose to choose the name of this character Faith because she was Goodman's faith to guide him to good and keep his heart open. 3. The pink ribbons that the authors constantly used at the beginning of the story mean the feminine personality but with a good heart of Faith and later in the story she uses them again as a symbol of what Faith is. 4. I think that everything Goodman Brown witnessed was just a horrible dream, all this evil that manifested in him was just a bad dream. In the eighth paragraph, the author says something about a "bad purpose he had." 5. The elder was portrayed as the devil, since the author uses a reference of Adam and Eve from the Bible in paragraph 27 using the phrase "snake." 6. The staff can represent...
