goodman brown Q's

1) the allegory for this story is simply that there are many fine struggles between faith and the devil.
2) the staff- symbolizes that he is the devil. and it shows even more to be true when he makes it come to life.
the pink ribbons- symbolizes how goodman brown shouldn't lose his faith.
his wife faith's name- similar to the ribbons, symbolizes faith its self. and how every time he walks away from her. he is also walking away from faith itself.
3) at first i thought they were real. but at the end of the story Goodman Brown was in his Grave. and i think it was all just an illusion he was having while he was on his death bed of the temptations one can have in life between the devil and faith.
4) Young Goodman Brown; Faith; Deacon Gookin; Goody Cloyse; Goody Cory; the devil;
