Young Goodman Brown by Nathaniel Hawthorne is a short story that delves into the theme of morality versus hypocrisy in Puritan New England. Goodman Brown, a devout young man, embarks on a mysterious journey into the forest, where he encounters what appears to be the devil and sees people he considers virtuous participating in sinister rites. The journey shakes his faith in human goodness, including his belief in his wife, Faith’s, innocence. Upon his return, he lives the rest of his life in cynicism and mistrust, alienating himself from his community. The story serves as a profound critique of religious hypocrisy and the destructive power of doubt.
