I think the main theme in Young Goodman Brown is how sin and evil is an unavoidable part of humanity, it can be found in all the people we have taken as good and an example of rectitude. And how it can be found within ourselves as well, even in the smallest actions we don't think about. Such as Brow

This question is incomplete, but I will still give you an explanation of the themes Young Goodman Brown is about.

Explanation:

  The story Young Goodman Brown by Nathaniel Hawthorne has as their main themes faith, religion, sins and good versus evil.

Brown's faith is easily corrupted by the Devil in the woods. In turn, he feels guilty when he knows what he is going to do and says goodbye to his beloved wife, whom he considers a very good and religious woman.

There is also a criticism of the Puritan religion and you can see how all the Puritans in the story "hid something" since they were all present that night in the forest. All of them had been tempted by evil.

This is where good versus evil comes into play, as not even the purest people in the city could be considered good.
