We start to see this collapse in the woods with Goodman Brown. At first, he hides from Goody Cloyse and Deacon Gookin when he sees them approaching in the woods. He does this so he can keep his assumed faith in good standing with a top member of his religious society. Later, realizes she was also greeting the same man he did and…
