Not so very Goodman Brown

This story was actually quite interesting because there was a lot to analyze in it . The major theme is everyone sins. For example at the end when there are other towns people at the evil meeting and Brown's wife faith. Faith also represents purity and goodness, and well his faith. When he goes to meet with the devil Brown abandons faith. The staff with the serpent represents temptation, like the serpent in the garden of Eden that tempted Eve to eat the apple. And the the meeting took place in the forest, which represents evil and sin as well. The story took place in Salem, ME which is basically the center for all the witch trails that took place back in the days of the puritans.
