At the very end of the story, Young (I guess he's not
young anymore ) Goodman Brown dies. He is followed to his grave by Faith and by their
kids and their grandkids. When they bury him in his
grave,
there
is no hopeful verse upon his tombstone, for his dying hour was
gloom.
If you are asking
about the part a bit before that, what happens is that what he sees in the forest makes
him lose his faith and his hope. He thinks everyone is corrupt and evil, so he has no
good thoughts about anyone. We don't know whether what he saw in the forest really
happened, but it doesn't matter. He acts as if it does and it ruins his
life.
