In Hawthorne's "Young Goodman Brown," the protagonist encounters the Devil, and visualizes the evil that resides in those he is closest to. He is led to view the people he had thought he knew well, as well as himself, in a very different light. The experience shows that he will only remain faithful as long as he feels the people in his group are faithful. Therefore, he is corruptible.

In Nathaniel Hawthorne's Young Goodman Brown, it seems likely that the experience of Goodman Brown in the woods was a dream. But Nathaniel Hawthorne purposefully does not answer the question. The story is laced with the words 'seemingly' and 'appeared' to make both Goodman Brown and the reader question whether the scenes in the forest actually happened. The snake staff seems to wriggle like a live snake. The voices in the woods sound like Deacon Gookin and the pastor. There are no concrete pieces of evidence.What's important is that Young Goodman Brown behaves as if the witch meeting and the Devil's initiation ceremony in the forest were real. Goodman Brown lives a gloomy life, never again trusting his neighbors, not even his wife. Goodman Brown's response to his experience is similar to the real-life inhabitants of Salem during the infamous Salem witch trials.
