“Young Goodman Brown” By Nathaniel Hawthorne page 71
“Unfathomable to mere mortals is the lore of friends”
What is said here is that a human does not know the attraction that friends produce. This I relevant to the story in that Goodman Brown find many of the people that he knows in the wood having a meeting doing evil things. And Goodman spots burning trees but it do not deter him for the attraction of his friends around the burn in trees bring him closer. This attraction for his friends was subconscious for he expressed no control over whether he was going towards his friend or not. This can be seen in the real world when one goes to a party and you know no one at the party and one finally spots a friend that you know at the party. One has an automatic attraction towards the person, for it is human nature to not want to be lonely.
