YOUNG GOODMAN BROWN

1. I think Hawthorne's purpose for this story is to share the topics he tries to show his audience.

2. In this story, the author describes Faith as this kind and outgoing character, but he is very attentive. 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 a guide for him as what is right and what is wrong.

7. If Goodman Brown stayed that night at home, theoretically speaking, of course, all his mentality would have been different and now he knows that you cannot trust everyone and that you are evil in this world.
