The plot of the story Young Goodman Brown was when Goodman Brown started to notice that all the people that he looked up to were all worshippers of the devil. At first he was not completely convinced that everyone he knew was bad. He then later found out that they all were but he decided to stay true to his faith and not follow the same path as the rest. But that all changed when he also found out that his fiance Faith was also a worshipper of the devil. And that pretty much sums up the plot.
The tone for this story are both serious and mysterious. For me this story is mysterious because we never really get an ending to the story so we never find out if what happened to him was a dream or reality. Plus what makes it more mysterious is that the whole town was acting like if nothing happened. This story is also serious because stuff like this could actually happen to people. Stuff like getting your faith tested are actual real and serious stuff.
In the story Young Goodman Brown symbolises the innocence of young good men. It also symbolises how these innocent people could become corrupted and lose their innocence just like Goodman Brown when he saw everyone he knew even his fiance worshipping the devil. In today's world stuff like the internet, drugs, and gangs corrupt the young and strip them from any innocence they once had.
