1. One symbol that I found was the pink ribbon. The pink ribbon symbolizes love and happiness in the story. The referent of this is that pink ribbon is something you put on close. This interpretation will help me understand the story because the pink ribbon is the only thing that gives Goodman Brown hope because it is the only thing good that stands out in a bright color.
2.Another symbol that I got was the staff that the old man had with him. The staff symbolizes the devil because the staff has carved snake figures around it and the snakes are the devil. The referent of this is a stick that helps people walk. This interpretation helps me understand the story more because the old man with the staff is really the devil and he is trying to bring Faith towards him and away from good.
