young goodman brown blog

I found this story to be rather confusing.  It was a hard read and his writing style was very old style.  I still don't know if it was a dream goodman brown had or real life.  I believe he somehow gave his soul to the devil.  It also might have been some sort of witchcraft gathering.  I don't know if his wife, Faith, was a witch but she was at the gathering so im not sure what that represented.  I think the old man he met in the woods represented the devil.  It seemed like he knew he was going into the woods with bad intentions and was trying to talk himself out of it.
