Quote #10

Here's the thing: Goodman Brown opposes his community without standing outside of it. He's not quite ready to leave the community entirely; he's just going to hate on it from within. And the Salem community has taken a half-measure of its own. Although the Puritans don't reject Brown outright, they realize that he rejects their spirit of hopefulness.
