Most criticism and reflection of Nathaniel Hawthornes Young Goodman Brown centers on a good versus evil theme. Critics also debate interpretations of the briny characters cognisance; is Brown awake or dreaming. What is definite is that he lives and dies in pain because his belief in his righteousness isolates him from his community. It is also certain that Hawthornes interpretation of Browns mid-life crisis has ambiguity and leaves a reader with many distinct feelings about what and why certain things have happened. Hawthornes use of symbolic representation in his allegorical tale Young Goodman Brown causes the main characters revelations about the sin within his community, his family and himself.
        Young Goodman Browns journey into the tone is best defined as a kind of general, equivocal allegory, representing mans irrational drive to leave faith, home, and security temporarily behind, for any(prenominal) reason, and take a chance with one(more) errand onto the wilder shores of experience (Martin). Brown has a curiosity that kills his naive outlook on life and changes him until his death. He has a mission to go into the tone and meet the lambast.
A mission that he begins out of curiosity and a deep lease to see if the teachings of his childhood, his religion, and his culture, have armed him sufficiently to look the devil in the face and return unscathed (Hodara 1). The symbol of the forest, late at night, can be interpreted as the untamed regions of Browns shopping center where the devil roams freely as he roams in the forest. The forest is the devils domain. Brown finds, in the dark of the night, many of his daytime friends partake this domain with the devil. What he considers moral and good in his life he finds in the forest. This torments his perception of practically everything.
