Young Goodman Brown

The mood in this writing, is very mysterious in my opinion. I think it's strange how Goodman Brown is a innocent man and really has no reason to go on this little journey, but ends up going. Part of this sort of confused me, but it was also strange that he was searching for evil or the devil, and as soon as he met the man with the walking stick, he was paranoid thinking everybody was the devil or had something bad about them.
