Final answer:
The question incorrectly refers to Dimmesdale, a character from Hawthorne's 'The Scarlet Letter', instead of Young Goodman Brown. After his experience, Brown is disoriented and distrustful, reacting negatively to the townspeople of Salem village.
Step-by-step explanation:
The passage in question does not clearly state how Dimmesdale behaves the next day; rather, it describes the behavior of a character from a different work, Young Goodman Brown by Nathaniel Hawthorne. In this text, Goodman Brown is disoriented and mistrustful of the townspeople the day after his alleged dream or supernatural encounter in the forest.
He questions the piety of the minister, avoids the blessing from the deacon, sees malice in Goody Cloyse's religious instruction, and turns away from the joyful greeting of his wife, Faith, without any recognition.
