Young Goodman Brown believes he went on a walk. He imagines that the leaders in government and the church are in the night forest with the devil. He thinks that the devil took over his wife and now his faith is lost. He believes that there's evil surrounding him and is aware of every move. Now this is just his imagination. This never happened, to him it did, but it was just the power of his imagination, He even said when he woke up that he didn't know if it was a dream or a real circumstance. His world actually changes because he's really afraid. He's scared of what could happen next. He has become very aware and very frightened of everything around him. He doesn't trust his wife anymore. The person he's in love with. Hawthrone communicates by making the theme the struggle between Goodman Brown's faith, power to resist his own evil impulses and his own doubts within him. The tone is very sketchy, makes is seem like the world is against him when it was just a simple dream. Well not to him. Also the characterization is the same as the tone. Makes it seem like everyone is against him and so evil when they're really not.
