YOUNG OLD GOOD BAD

I think Hawthorne wrote "Young Goodman Brown" because he was probably bored and wanted to write a scary short story about Goodman Brown going on an errand in the forest. I think it effected Stephen King because he also is an author who writes scary novels and was pulled in by the short story because he said it is one of the most scary short stories he had ever read. The story shows that just because someone is the nicest person in the world does not mean they can always be trusted because behind your back they might be onto something and you would never know.
