Nathaniel Hawthorne uses symbolism in his short story “Young Goodman Brown” through the pink ribbons, the staff, and Faith. Pink Ribbons The Pink Ribbons that are in Faith’s hat represent her purity because pink comes across as innocent.

In Japan an individual is not likely to feel like…

Dimmesdale reminds himself of his seemingly unforgivable sin when he sees the meteor. This meteor comes when Dimmesdale is on the scaffold, when he is showing his secretive, sinful side instead of the perfect Puritan side he usually shows the community. The scaffold is the place where he punishes himself for his sin, so it is fitting that he sees the meteor when he is on the scaffold.
