Young Goodman brown questions
1) Hawthornes purpose was to show how dark people actually are even though they seem to be religious and never commit sins.
2)I agree with his wife being named faith it's a double entendre. Like he leaves "faith" to go on a dark deed in the forest. Brown doesn't have faith in the end.
3) The pink ribbons signify Faith's innocence and the good.
4)"Depending upon one another's hearts, ye had still hoped that virtue were not all a dream! Now are ye undeceived! Evil is the nature of mankind. Evil must be your only happiness. Welcome, again, my children, to the communion of your race!" This helps prove my point that it wasn't a dream.
5) I think that old man is the devil because his snake staff and because he knows everybody in the village and important people and has known young Goodman's brown grandpa.
6)The staff represents temptation from the Adam and Eve story. I think the staff plays mind games with Goodman brown and shows the towns true colors.
7) If brown had never gone to the forest he would of never found out the truth. He would still trust everyone and believe they're all innocent. He would of still trust faith.
