"Young Goodman Brown" by Nathaniel Hawthorne

The story, “Young Goodman Brown” by Nathaniel Hawthorne, is the story of immature and recently married guy, who leaves his lovely wife, Faith, for a mysterious errand in a deep forest. Supposedly, he is going to meet with the Devil.
Yong Goodman Brown is very weak man, and is being naive of future consequences. During his journey, he lost his wife, confidence, believe, and in the end, the most important thing, his life. I think he was trying to prove himself that he can resist the Devil, unfortunately, there is always a limit in anything, and people shouldn’t cross that border, otherwise they will regret.

Nicely done. Try to incorporate something on the author's use of literary elements next time, such as imagery or symbolism.
