symbolism of Young goodman brown

1. Goodman Brown’s name plays as a symbol in the story. His name Goodman means Gentleman during that time period, and he is symbolic to mankind. 2.The name Faith is symbolic of Brown’s lost hope 3.When the pink ribbon falls from the sky, he cries "My Faith is gone", Brown talks about how much faith he has. 4.The traveler is symbolic of the devil and Goodman Brown’s dark side. All of the branches the traveler touches wilt and die. 5.Taking the dark dreary road into the forest symbolizes his act of "plunging into the road leading to despair",The move into darkness gives the feeling of upcoming danger. This is what i can pick out of it
