Ld be at my very elbow" symbolizes that the woods is a mysterious and frightful place (244). With the words, "staff, which bore the likeness of a great black glide" (244) and "The moment his fingers touched them, they became strangely wither and dried up as with a week&8217s sunshine" symbolizes the reach (246).      Another important literary element that Hawthorne uses is characterization. He in like manner uses symbolism to represent his characters. For instance, Faith is the wife of Young Goodman cook and is represented as a bonnie, faithful, and pleasant person. When Hawthorne writes, "the wind play with the knock ribbons of her cap", symbolizes Faith to be a beautiful and pleasant person (244). Also Hawthorne writes, "as the wife was aptly named, and she&8217s a blessed angel on earth" symbolizes that Faith is faithful and near (243). In contrast to Faith is the mysterious travellar. He represents the devi l in the forest which represents hell. Hawthorne writes, "his staff, which bore the likeness of a great black snake" (244) and "The moment his fingers touched them, they became strangely withitherd and dried up, as with a week&8217s sunshine" (246) symbolizes the hellish powers of the devil.      Young Goodman chocolate-brown plays the middle man within the story. He is married to a beautiful wife and is urged to become bad in the hellish forest. He also finds that his religion teacher, Goody Cloyse, and the church minister, Deacon Gookin, was in this forest. Young Goodman browned faces an internal involution with vertical and evil. Hawthorne writes, "With Heaven above, and Faith below, I forget yet stand firm against the devil" lets you know that Young Goodman dark-brown is strongly against evil (247). Also within the story Hawthorne writes, "My Faith is gone, there is no good on earth, and sin is simply a name. Come, devil for to there is this world given" which shows that Young Goodman Brown has come to take a crap that he can no longer trust anyone (248).      In this allegory, Nathaniel Hawthorne uses triplex settings, along with mood, conflict and characterization to create his theme. That mankind possesses both good and evil within each individual. This is represented by the internal conflict by Young Goodman Brown to be a good individual, but realizing that everyone possess bad.
