YOUNG GOODMAN BROWN

Today, I read a story called ' Young Goodman Brown' in class.  We were asked to answer some  questions. I think the reason Hawthorne wrote 'Young Goodman Brown,' is to tell us that not all people are who you really think they are. The name of Brown's wife fit who she is. She seems like a really caring character just the way the author described her. I also think that Brown really believes in her. He thinks that she wouldn't do any thing that is evil or worship the devil. He truly believed her from his heart. In my opinion the pink ribbon that the wife always used to wear represents the wife's pure soul. As we read through the story Brown was surround by people he trusted. He found out that all of them did something evil and worshiped the devil.He was in the forest with the people he knew but as time passing everything was shocking him. In the next moment he was all alone by himself. As he got out of the forest he saw the people  but all of the them acted like nothing ever happened. He was confused. I was too, so I think that all of that was part of a dream. The old man that led him through the forest was the devil himself. According to the author, "The devil!" screamed the pious old lady." He gave us a big hit when the old lady saw the old man and his staff. The staff that the old man or so called devil carried. It represents the way Brown is. I think he is twisted inside but he just doesn't accept who he really is.  If he never left faith in the beginning he wouldn't have know that the people he cared, for worshiped the devil even his wife. He would have trusted his fellow townspeople and his wife.
