Young Goodman Brown was hallucinating

I believe in the story “Young Goodman Brown”  Brown was hallucinating everything throughout the whole story. “They were my good friends, both; and many a pleasant walk have we had along this path...”. This shows the old man knew to much about Browns relatives, but never actually met Brown. Most strangers you have never met won’t actually come up to you and randomly talk about your relatives in any way. “Welcome!” repeated the fiend-worshippers, in one cry of despair and triumph. And there they stood, the only pair, as it seemed, who were yet hesitating on the verge of wickedness, in this dark wood.” This is showing that Brown was watching the evil ceremony, but wasn’t actually attending it. If there was really an “evil ceremony” I don’t think most people would be able to find it and let them hear what they talk about.”Often, awaking suddenly at midnight, he shrank from the bosom of Faith, and at morning or eventide, when the family knelt down at prayer, he scowled, and muttered to himself, and gazed sternly at his wife, and turned away.” When Brown woke up he was already home, in the story it doesn’t explain how he got home. He also couldn’t trust his wife Faith for what she did however, she seemed very nice and I don’t think she was evil.

BNW chapter 8 ideas

1. Bernard asked John to explain “everything”  about his life since the beginning 2. Since Linda comes from the World State she is used to being in multiple relationships with many men all in one time. The effect that this issue brings to the Reservation is that people that are from the Reservation don’t live their life’s the same way as in the World State, they actually respect people’s relationship. John learns all about this when he is able to read. 3. Popé brings Linda mescal. 4. John hates Popé. John stabs Popé when he was sleeping with Linda. Popé just laughs and tells him to leave. 5. Shakespeare allusion in this chapter comes from the “The Complete World of William Shakespeare”  John enjoyed reading it because he feels like it describes the way his life is / feels. It showed him the true relationship between Linda and Popé, it inspired John to “kill” Popé. 6. The experience that caused John to feel alone was when the boys beat him up and left him outside the Puebl...
