My Essay Essay

Young Goodman Brown, by Nathaniel Hawthorne is about a guy who goes on a non - typical walk.  His reality is lost and it's confusing weather or not it is a dream.  The theme of YGB is what's the true reality of faith?  Hawthorne expresses many different examples of how many people who are involved and or surrounding us in our lives can be full of evil in their heart and minds.  In this story, the author also uses symbols that represent things such as the pink ribbon that represents faith in his wife's hair.  At the end of Goodman Brown's walk, all the ribbons have disappeared and drifted away, representing faith has been lost.
