EVIL IS THE NATURE OF MANKIND

Evil is the nature of mankind
Every man, at a time in his life, is born knowing evil. Evil constitutes the actions and
consequences resorted to man. Men, using their natural instincts, are evil by heart but

in their hearts. The evil within all men is transformed into this goodness we see because
the nurturing given by their mothers. In Goodman Brown's experience with the flaming
fire; his Father beckoning him into the flame and his mother warning him off, he
subconsciously attempts to fight the force of evil with the nurturing given to him by his
mother. 
At the word, Goodman Brown stepped forth from the shadow of the trees and approached the
congregation, with whom he felt the loathsome brotherhood by the sympathy of all that was

nurturing of loved ones around him. The goodness resulted in Goodman Brown's story, when
he was given a situation whether to choose his mother, the pure nurturing aspect, or his
father, the one doomed to hell. He was given a choice and yet could not decide between

their nature; they are taught purity and goodness by the love and strength of the ones
that love them. The question of how strong those bonds are, determines where they will
lead later in life.
