This is the story which has many important symbols. The author endows each symbol with an allegory-meaning.

At the beginning of the story, the author set a symbol which goes throughout the entire story---¡°pink ribbon¡±. The pink ribbon appears at every change of young Goodman Brown¡¯s emotion. For instance, ¡°The young man seized it, and beheld a pink ribbon.¡± After this sentence, the author describes young Goodman Brown¡¯s feeling strongly. ¡°Young Goodman Brown cried ¡°My faith is gone.¡±(Faith is another important symbol; I will talk about it later) He yelled ¡°There is no good on earth; and sin is but a name. Come, devi

Faith is the other symbol that I want to talk about. The author doesn¡¯t just give the random names to the characters. The names in ¡°Young Goodman Brown¡± all have special meaning. Not only Faith is a woman¡¯s name but it also means young

Goodman Brown¡¯s own faith. Here is the example; ``Well, then, to end the matter at once,'' said Goodman Brown, considerably nettled, ``there is my wife, Faith. It would break her dear little heart; and I'd rather break my own.'' Faith in this story is something that between id and superego. I consider that superego is Goodman Brown, id is his fellow-traveler. Another word, Goodman Brown is the concrete of conscious and traveler is the concrete of unconscious. Every time ,when superego struggles with id ,Faith is

l; for to thee is this world given.¡±¡± Right here, we can see that the id won over the superego. And the ego disappeared because the id was no long against the reality and got satisfied.

Another important allegory is the forest. In the wording and purport of what Hawthorne writes, the forest is always dark, dark and dark. Here are some examples; ¡°darkened by all
