    The reason that Young Goodman Brown meets the traveler on the road in the first place is due to the fact that he is travelling to a secret pagan assembly and it is implied with the devil. The traveler must be the devil or one of the devil's henchmen. Young Goodman Brown is travelling a dark road, at midnight, in a dark forest. Who ELSE would be travelling that road than the devil himself tempting our faith and fortitude?
