1. I believe Hawthorne’s purpose for this story is share the themes he is trying to show his audience.
2. In this story the author describes Faith as this gentle and outgoing character but is very mindful. I think the author chose to chose this character’s name Faith because she was Goodman’s faith in guiding him to the good and keeping his heart open. In the beginning it seems as if he didn’t have faith in her but as the story started to unwind it seemed as if he learned his lesson in his own ways.
3. The pink ribbons that the authors used constantly in the beginning of the story signify Faith’s girly but good hearted personality and later in the story he uses them again as a symbol that it is Faith.
4. I believe everything that Goodman Brown witnessed was just a horrible dream, all this evil manifesting in him was just a bad dream. In the eighth paragraph the author says something about an ‘evil purpose he had’. So being said I think he was going to do something guilty but the dream told him otherwise.
5. The old man was portrayed as the devil as the author uses an Adam and Eve reference from the Bible in the 27th paragraph using the phrase ‘snake’.
6. The staff may represents a guide to him as what is right and wrong.
7. If Goodman Brown were to stay that evening at home theoretically speaking of course his whole mindset would’ve been different and now he knows not everyone can be trusted and thee is evil in this world.
