The Scarlet Letter offers an extraordinary insight into the norms and behavior of the 17th century if American Puritan society.The basic conflicts and problems of its main characters,however,are familiar to readers in the present.The female protagonist,has borne a child out of wedlock and has been jailed for over three months and sentenced to wear a symbol of her adultery,a scarlet 鈥淎鈥 on her dress at all times.It concerns about the moral,emotional and psychological effect of the sin on people in general.It鈥檚 not simply a love story or a story of sin.The Scarlet Letter by Nathaniel Hawthorne uses the scarlet letters to symbolize the harshness of Puritan society,showing how they brand sinners for life.
The story happened in Boston about 200 years ago.It narrates love affairs between three persons.The punished woman.Hester Prynne and his husband.Who called himself Roger Chillingworth .He is an old misshapen man and a doctor.Hester does not love him at all.Another man is a young minister,Dimmesdale,who has a high position among ministers and is highly respected among his people in town.Hester and Dimmesdale love each other.But their love is forbidden in that time .It is sinful.Due to this,Hester is punished by society with a letter A on her chest,which considered an evil,a shame.
In this novel,the mainline seems to be around the letter A.Hester is brave enough to face the cruel reality.She is always with a mind of courage.She has been alone with her child for so long ,with litter communication.Shame!Hopelessness!Loneliness!Hester has to wear the letter A day after day,seven years as for punishment and ill fame.
When a woman has lived through a difficult experience,her character changes a great deal.If she be all tenderness,she will die.If she survive,the tenderness will leave her .Hester鈥檚 charitable deeds and quiet humility have earned her a reprieve from the scorn of the community.The letter on her chest represents her work on earth ,always helping others,without expecting any thanks.Never afterwards,does that scarlet letter leave her chest.The townspeople no longer view the letter as a punishment ,but rather as representing her great strength and bravery and thy say it means 鈥淎ble鈥?
But Arthur Dimmesdale,his sin against Hester and Pearl is that he will not acknowledge them as his wife and daughter in the daylight.He keeps his dreadful secret from all those under his care in the church for seven years for fear that he will lose their love and will not be forgiven.He is too weak to admit his sins.He suffers from mysterious heart trouble,seemingly caused by psychological distress.What鈥檚 worse,he is an advisor to the townspeople about their sins.
After Mr.Dimmesdale鈥檚 death ,no one changes more in appearance than Roger Chilling worth.All his strength and energy has been used to harm his patient .This unhappy man has made his aim in life to add to the suffering of the young minister.When the evil old man no longer has such a purpose,the devil takes him back to the hell .It is a curious subject of observation,however,whether hatred or love are not of the same place.Each takes a great deal of emotion from one person.The two feelings seem basically the same,expect that one is smiled upon by God,while the other is worshipped by the devil.

Those Beautiful Flowers
---Book Review:鈥淐amille鈥
I read the Chinese version of 鈥淐amille鈥 a few years ago.At that time I was deeply moved by the main character Marguerite Gautier.鈥淐amille鈥 or 鈥淭he Lady of the Camellias鈥 by Alexandre Dumas,fils,is the story of Marguerite Gautier,a young courtesan,or kept woman,in Paris in the mid 1800's,and how she falls in love with a young man,Armand Duval,and then tries to escape from her questionable past.Unfortunately,it comes back to haunt her and she ends up returning to that life and dies painfully and alone,but with the knowledge that she was a noble woman at heart.When I first began to read the book,I did not care for Marguerite or her attitude or lifestyle,but as I got further into the narrative,I realized that her saucy attitude was a front to cover the lonely woman that she really was.She felt used,abused and unloved,until the gentle Armand Duval came into her life and showed her that he loved her as a person and not for what she could do for him.It must have taken great courage for Marguerite to leave the life she had lived for so long,knowing all along that it was probably too good to be true and would not last indefinitely.And it also showed that Marguerite really loved Armand Duval for she could even change herself for him.
However,happiness didn鈥檛 last for long.When M.Duval,Armand's father,came to her,pleading for her to leave Armand to save both Armand's reputation and that of his younger innocent sister,Marguerite saw a way to become pure of heart,if not in body.She felt that it was her duty,because she loved Armand so much,to do this even though it meant giving up her own happiness and hurting Armand temporarily.She reluctantly returned to her former life,knowing that some day Armand would forgive her.Sadly,she died in debt and basically alone,except for her one female friend,Julie Duprat,who helped her during her illness.She had her journal sent to Armand after her death,explaining why she had made the choices she had.I think Dumas's last few lines about Marguerite being the exception,not the rule were quite true,and I also agreed with his view that while her lifestyle could not be condoned,we as a society assume that all of these type of women are cold and heartless,while this may not always be the case.A person can make the wrong choices in life when they are young,and try to redeem themselves,but sometimes past situations prevent them from changing their lives,even though they desperately wish to do so.This applies to both men and women in many different types of circumstances:involvement in crime; drug or alcohol abuse; gambling; prostitution; financial problems; poor marriage choices; etc.And this is the fact,which exists in the whole society.
As far as the other characters in the book,I think Marguerite was right in saying that no one truly cared about her,but only wanted something from her,the only exceptions being Armand and Julie Duprat.Of course,the Comte de G.and Comte de N.wanted her body and appearance.The Duke needed to 鈥渨ake up and smell the coffee鈥 and realize that she could never replace his dead daughter.If he truly cared,he could have helped her leave her lifestyle without 鈥渒eeping鈥 her himself.And lastly,Prudence was a blood-sucking leech who used Marguerite almost worse than the men.I also think she was jealous of the fact that Marguerite had so much more courage than herself and someone truly loved her.
Last morning,when tiding my bookshelf,I took this book out of the shelf,and a dried flower flew away from the book.It was pale blue,very transparent,with thin fine veins.a dried flower flew away from the book.It was pale blue,very transparent,with thin fine veins.I held it against the morning light and blew on it.The soft breeze carried it away.Camille is just like the camellia,she could never escape from the destiny of withering.But it wasn鈥檛 her fault; it鈥檚 because of the evil of Capitalism and the hideousness of that society.
Suddenly,I remembered a saying:鈥淲omen are like the flowers鈥?Those pretty women are like those beautiful flowers; their delicate beauty makes people feel they are the miracle of life.However,even the God envies their beauty.It seems that beautiful women always have tragic endings.As we are normal persons,even we can see the hideousness of humanity that results in their fate of withering,we can at most ask quietly in our hearts:Where have those beautiful flowers gone?Where have they gone?
再问: 名著就叫“红字”?
再答: 来自《红字》(英文版)《The Scarlet Letter》 the scarlet letter was declared a classic almost immediately after its publication in 1850, and it has stayed in print and in favor ever since. it has been hailed both as the first symbolic novel and as the first psychological novel(even though it was written before there was a science called psychology). but what really secures the place of the scarlet letter in the literary history is its treatment of human nature, sin, guilt, and pride--all timeless, universal themes--from a uniquely american point of view.
