Young Goodman Brown and The lottery

YGB: I though this story was very confusing. I couldnt tell if he was going into the woods to become part of a Satin worshiping cult or what. It just raised a lot of questions for me like how did he get home was it a dream and why didnt they write and thing on his tomb stone when he died? i dunno the only thing i really got out of it is that their society strange and i think the Faith his wife knew what was going to happen even though he didnt and maybe she even helped get  him home after the fact.
THE LOTTERY: i liked this story much better and i got the concept of it right away. This is one mess up village like i dont get the point of stoning some random person to death once a year. The only thing that i could come up with is that the village believes in Gods or something because on of the old men says "Lottery in June, corn be heavy soon" its like a human sacrifice so they have a good harvest. non the less they insane and i think they are more insane that the say other villages that take away the lottery are dumb for doings so.
