Young Goodman Brown Questions

1) When Goodman Brown journeys into the forest at night where he breaks his faith with his wife and his life. He makes a turn for the worst which leads him down the wrong trail of life.



2) Pink Ribbons: clean, pure, honor.

Faith: she's Goodman's wife, but represent the honor and respect of life and faith itself.

Devil: Brown goes into the dark forest with his staff, which has a snake on it, which could symbolize the devil.


3) I feel as though Brown is having an illusion to what he is truly feeling inside in his heart. It's as though all these events are happening between him, the devil, Faith, and others all in one swoop of a day. You can't just go from a normal life, to a chain reaction of weird events all of a sudden.

Young Goodman Brown is a Puritan man from the town of Salem, Massachusetts in the 1600s. All is good, until he decides to set off into the forest with some dark figure [possibly the Devil]. When he returns, he is a new man. His wife, Faith, doesn't see the man that she fell in love with. Brown is

7) He is, mostly on the parts of Goodman Brown and Faith. Faith more than Goodman. Hawthorne makes Faith seem to represent many things in this story, such as heaven, honor, and respect. As to Goodman, who in my opinion, seems to represent the Devil.

8) The theme could be a variety of subjects. for the most part it could repesent faith vs. disrespect. In the beginning, Brown was able to have full faith in himself and in his wife and others. This is until he goes into the forest with the strange man, and comes back a different person. He is then showing no respect to anyone, not even his wife. She doesn't seem to love him anymore.
