Young Goodman Brown is a dynamic character. At the end of the story, Young Goodman Brown is very confused, sad, and doubtful over his towns people. In my opinion, Young Goodman Brown did not experience something real in the woods. I feel like he had a dream about all that he went through that night. The text heavily leans toward a dream, for example, "Had Goodman Brown fallen asleep in the forest, and only dreamed a wild dream of a witch meeting?" Another example from the text is, " A stern, a sad, a darkly meditative, a distrustful, if not a desperate man, did he become, from the night of that fearful dream."
