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.

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
