Young Goodman Brown

I think Young Goodman Brown was an excellent story!!! Young Goodman brown is about a guy that makes a kind of shady deal with the devil and meets him in the woods while leaving his wife faith behind. His faith, will, and judgment are test through his path through the woods. He realizes that all he thought he knew was all a hoax. The church people were nothing but devil worshippers at night. His father and grandfather were no different then him. Goodman is a symbol of a good man or woman that has the there believe tested. What would you do if you found out that all you know and see is a lie? Would you still believe? Or would you quit and join in? What is the difference between good and evil? Is evil really that bad or do we just assume it is because we are told to? Is the face of evil this huge hideous monster, or the face of your love ones that you see ever day?
