Young Goodman Brown and Rappacini's daughter

In "Young Goodman Brown" Goodman Brown goes on a search for the devil. Humans associate the devil with evil and darkness. It just so happens that Goodman Brown's story takes place in the dark forrest. He goes into the forest and he took "a dreary road darkened by all the gloomiest trees in the forrest" (46). It is

as if he wants to get as close to the devil as possible, he is willing to come face to face with him. Hawthorne surrounds Goodman Brown with all the typical stereotypes that we see as the devil. The search for the devil is associated with badness yet Hawthorne puts the good in there as well. Beauty always equals goodness and beauty for Goodman Brown is Faith. The description of Faith is associated with all good. Even the pretty pink ribbons in her hair. Goodman Brown is seeking the devil and leaving the good (Faith) behind.

The similarities of these stories come down to the devil. They both have an encounter with him. In relation with the two the devil can be as we see it, a dark, gloomy and horrid evil, or it can be disguised as beauty with the intensions of entrappment. All Beatrice really represents is a devils messanger sent to hypnotize the good with beauty.
