YGB QUESTIONS

I think the authors purpose was to say that people aren't always who they say they are because his childhood teacher seemed nice but she was friends with the devil. At first faith does fit her until GOODMAN brown leaves and she turns evil. I think the pink ribbons signified Faith's good in her and once the ribbons were gone she turned evil. I think GOODMAN brown was dreaming because when he saw Goody from his childhood she didn't even look at him and all of his fears became reality in his dream. I think the old man is really the devil because he uses Faith in a ceremony that turns her to evil. The staff represents GOODMAN brown to go onward in the forest with the devil and the witch because he wants to turn brown evil also. If brown stayed with his wife I think he would have still had his wife because he wouldn't have let anything happen to her and protected her from evil .
