In "Young Goodman Brown," the allegorical meaning of Faith's pink ribbons is B. virtue. She uses these ribbons to show her innocence and frailty, which are all characteristics of virtue that, especially during these Puritan times, every woman was supposed to have and make obvious to everyone. Faith also wants people to see her virtue, which is why she started wearing pink ribbons.
