Ok, so this weeks two stories that we covered had to do with lies and deceptions,I think everybody can agree with that.On one side we have Goodman Brown,typical person who's curious about new things and gives them a try,but aren't we all.Goodman Brown has a normal life and decided to take a chance with curiosity, on his way to the forest he finds out that everyone he knew was living a lie and decides he doesn't want to be part of whatever the whole town was doing.Thing is the story tells us that it was a merely a dream, but was it?.I think this story had to do with your religion and faith.At the end he lost his beliefs and religion,because of his illusion or was it? I guess ones beliefs have to go beyond just changing them because you had a weird dream or wahtever.
The Cask of Amontillado is a really good short story,I liked it just because it gets to the point.It all begins in a sort of carnival where this man called Montresor invites his friend Fortunato to his chambers to try some Sherry Amontillado(Which is some kind of Wine).The whole plot of the story is that Montresor wants to get revenge on Fortunato,because he insulted him.On the way to get the Amontillado he takes him to his Families Catacombs and chains him to all.After that Montresor made a wall of bricks to lock him up and so he got his revenge.Moral of the story?Choose your friends wisely and choose your words even wiser.This story only shows how peoples pride overcomes anything even friendship.Sometimes I just like to cruise alone,I mean I have my family and my friends,but at the moment of truth I roll alone because I can count on me to do anything.So,I guess That you should treat people the way you want them to treat you(The Golden Rule).
P.I
If you believe in something so sacred like your religion I don't a dream should change the way you live your life, that just means that your faith wasn't real.As for friends I have small circle apart from my family,and I think people have very little friends,although they know a lot of people.Times haven't changed much since half a century ago or ages back.

I strongly agree with you, in Young Goodman Brown we see someone who lost his faith because he decided to follow his curiosity. A person whose faith is strong don't lose it because of what find out by curiosity. Faith in God, not in people, because people can fail and in my very personal opinion God is perfect no matter how imperfect we can be.
