1、Young Goodman Brown读后感 This short story can be divided into several parts. After leaving home, Goodman said “poor little Faith shes a blessed angel on earthfollow her to Heaven.” In this place, we can see that he had no doubt there is Heaven in the world. When he entered the deep dark forest, in fac
2、t, the road to evil, and met his panion, he still hesitated whether go forward or not. “There is my wife, Faith, it would break her dear little heart; and Id rather break my own.” these words show that Goodman was resisting being not pious to God. He didnt want to betray God. After seeing Goody Cloy
3、se who had taught him catechism, he decided to stop though his panion discoursed his arguments aptly because he didnt want to quit Faith to see the devil. This showed that Goodman struggled violently inside, but his reason still took the upper hand. Then he thought himself “so purely and sweetly now

How can these words convince Faith and he himself? No matter it is a dream or not, young Goodman Brown changed. He didnt trus

He “looked sternly and sadly into her (Faith) face, and passed on without a greeting.” “Shrank from the bosom of Faith” “gazed sternly at his wife.” His attitude towards his “poor” love Faith has changed, actually his hope to God and Heaven has disappeared. When Faith is not faith, there is no hope, there is only despair left.
