(5) What attitude does Faith take towards her husband’s proposed "trip"?
(6) What about Faith`s "dreams"? Does he seem to take them seriously or not? What does he describe her as "Poor little Faith"? What does that say about his attitude towards her? Is it a patronizing one?

The basic issue all readers must grapple with is whether or not this experience "really" occurred or whether it was a kind of dream, hallucination, or other aberration. The narrator says "Had Goodman Brown fallen asleep in the forest and only dreamed a wild dream of a witch-meeting?" Construct an answer to the narrator`s question.
