1. I think that Hawthorne's purpose for writing a story was to make us think on how religion works and how losing faith can be easy.
2. After reading the story I do agree that Brown's wife is named Faith because even though faith has another meaning it also says that Faith is Brown's wife. I think that her name fits to her personality. I think that because she is a nice person and she even told Brown not to leave and I think that she had a reason for her to say that. Faith does have true faith to her because she was helping Brown because she knew something could happen.
3. I think the pink ribbons signify the wife. Everytime the wife is mentioned the pink ribbons appear as well, but I think it also means your faith or hope.
4. Everhthing that Brown witness was only a dream. Not only a dream but an evil dream. In the story it says, " Had Goodman Brown fallen asleep in the forest, and only dreamed of a witch meeting? Be it so, if you will. But, alas! It was a dream of evil omen for Young Goodman Brown. "
5. I think the old man is the devil. The devil appears to be an ordinary person, but he is not.
6. The staff represent the demon. The old man was nice to try to get Goodman Brown. I think that the staff leads Brown onward or is the primary motivator Brown's own conscience/mind.
7. I think his life would be different because he would not be going to a dangerous place. Of he still stayed home I think he would not have his faith still because he had a dream so he would still lose his faith. He would probably still trust his wife and all the town people.
