The story is talking about religion, fear and faith, and how powerful can be as a motivation to go ahead. For Goodman Brown, his motivation is his wife "Faith". The writer uses this word as a symbol, developing the story in a religious town. Brown and his wife are very religious too, and he want to do anything to keep his faith with him. But in the story the devil himself try to turn his faith, and tells Brown that he knew his father and his grand father before him. Also the devil shows to Brown how almost all the town is follow him. Then, when the devil saw that he cannot break his faith, made Goodman Brown to see that his wife is following too. After that, Brown loses the image of purity of his faith, filling his heart of doubts about what he believes and everything that he really cares.
At the end, Brown wakes up and he see that everything was a bad dream, but he couldn't trust in his wife or any of the people of his town. This story teach us about the love and faith, also how easy can be destroy. Goodman Brown, would not be the same person any more. If his wife betrayed their love and their faith, then the winner was only the devil. It is definitively a good story. A little confusing at the beginning but very interesting. Very recommended.
