The story Young Goodman Brown begins with Brown leaving his wife to set out on and adventure into the woods. His wife, Faith, was obviously sad and hoped that he would not leave her. However, Goodman Brown believed he needed to go. While on his journey he meets up with somebody deep in the gloomy woods, this person is at first called traveler, whom we later find out is the devil. Brown continues on with the walk through the woods. While they walk, the winds howled and he heard voices. A devil worshiping ceremony took place deep in the woods. Goodman Brown saw people he knew, he even his wife, Faith. Who was taking part in this devilish ceremony. Brown wants Faith to reject him, but it appears she cannot hear him. In the closely, its almost like he wakes up, and it is suggested that he was dreaming the whole thing.
Reflection
I believe this story is about faith and how strong faith can be. Goodman Brown walks and is tempted by the devil and knows what he is doing is wrong. It is possible that is faith was not has strong as he thought it was.
