. 13. How can the reader tell that Goodman Brown has been changed by his experience in the woods, based on the following description: “Turning the corner by the meeting-house, he spied the head of Faith, with the pink ribbons, gazing anxiously forth, and bursting into such joy at the sight of him that she skipped along the street and almost kissed her husband before the whole village. But Goodman Brown looked sternly and sadly into her face, and passed on without a greeting.”

The reader can tell that Goodman Brown has been changed by his experience in the woods because when he went home and just as his wife kissed him, he just looked sad and just walked away without kissing or greeting his wife back. It is very opposite to what he usually do when he comes home.
