One of the recurring themes in Young Goodman Brown is that (C) The forest is a place where dark deeds take place.

Goodman Brown feels that the forest is associated with all that is evil. It was a widespread Puritan belief that the forest should be feared. Goodman Brown justifies this opinion when he himself sees the Devil in the forest.
