Young Goodman Brown represents innocence, purity and strength. Brown was presented with the opportunity to commit to a life of sin, but he resisted the temptation and instead chose a life of goodness. Young Goodman Brown began as a naive young man who was not guilty of committing any sin, and at that time he was blind to the fact that everyone around him were sinners, even his minister, Deacon Gookin, and Goody Cloyse, his catechism adviser. Then, as he matured, he saw the truth of everyone around him, but he refused to join them in their life of sin and hypocrisy. Despite the unfortunate truth of those around him, Goodman Brown maintained his virtuousness and his sense of faith.
