Young Goodman Brown is one of the representative works of Nathaniel Hawthorne, an outstanding American writer. Many western critics have interpreted the novel from different perspectives, but few in China have made a special exposition of the “scapegoat” model in the novel. Therefore, this article tries to interpret the “Scapegoat” image from the perspective of the myth archetype theory, trying to reveal the failure of redeeming function in scapegoat mechanism, at the same time, it also aims to to search out one of the many factors which endow this novel with infinite charm.
