YGB: Most important thing I'll ever learn?

     I don't think the symbolism in Nathaniel Hawthorne's "Young Goodman Brown" is the most important thing I'll ever learn. I mean, you learn something new everyday. Potty training really came useful in my life, perhaps that is the most important thing I ever learned. Though, it seems more useful than important. The symbolism in "Young Goodman Brown" is a very important i learned, but probably not the most important. Understanding the symbolism in the story will really help you get an idea for symbolism. It will become useful in real life when you are trying to interpret symbolism in everyday situations.
