what is the point of view in young goodman brown? how important is the point of view and does it change anywhere in the story?

The short
story, , is told from the Third Person Omniscient point-of-view. The Third Person Omniscient
narrator has the ability to both describe the outward appearances of the characters and to
explain the characters motives, desires, fears, and hopes. The difference between a limited and
an omniscient narrator is the degree of insight that each is able to provide. The omniscient
narrator is all-knowing, able to offer the reader absolute and unquestionable insight into a
character.  For instance, the narrator in this instance provides information on Goodman Browns
thoughts and reactions as he encounters the characters of Good Cloyse and Deacon
Gookin.
