Hawthorne develops the theme of the pervasiveness of sin in “Young Goodman Brown.” Hawthorne does this by giving great details of what will happen if you commit a sin even if he can not see you he knows what you are doing yet the people knew he was lying about this, Goodman Brown was shown by the devil himself what the people were doing behind closed doors sinning while they could then facing brown as if they had done nothing wrong.
