I can't exactly give you the answer, as I haven't had a chance to read through the material, however I can help you come to the answer yourself.
Using the text, can you identify three ways in which the characters were "rebellious" or were told to do something, but didn't?
Or you could provide examples of how they were different from society's standards in some way.
Using a random example of being different from society's standards: Some slaveowners would treat their slaves as other human beings who were equal to them, and would educate their slaves to help them have good lives. This was not the norm, as slaves were usually treated as less-than-human and were often forbidden to become educated. If a slave was found participating in school-like activities, the owners of the slave had the right to kill them. By educating slaves and treating them well, a slaveowner wouldn't be following the typical norm.
In Hawthorne's Young Goodman Brown, the hole story is set in Salem Village and its surroundings. Goodman Brown, the main character, starts saying farewell to his lovely wife Faith, for he must travel for one night only.
He takes the road into a gloomy forest and is afraid of everything or anyone scary and devilish he might find. Goodman Brown finds who he was searching for to dismiss himself because he wanted to return home for his wife sake and because he and his family has been Christians since long ago. The man tries to convince him that he knows very well his descendants and most of the villagers and important people.
Confused, ashamed and afraid to be seen associating with that man, he hides when someone approaches, which he recognizes as an old woman considered respected and religious by all. She identifies the man as the devil and herself as a witch on her way to the devil’s evil forest ceremony.
Goodman Brown saw and heard most of the villagers and other known people going to the ceremony, including his beloved wife. He finally returns home in the next morning refusing to trust or believe in anyone including his wife. Everybody he passes seems evil to him. It get to be unclear if all of it was real or just a dream, but the rest of his life was full of gloom and fear.
All of the story, scenarios and situations can only be described as "mysterious, cryptic, and gloomy" (letter A).
