霍桑的《红字》与凯特.肖邦的《觉醒》,从简单意义上说,都讲述了婚外恋的故事。故事中处于第三者位置的男主人公丁梅斯代尔和罗伯特具有一些相似之处,同时又有着一定的不同。本文试从他们之间的相似之处出发找到两者的可比性,然后对比他们的不同点及其原因。本文主要从意识形态角度分析他们的不同点以及由此导致的悲剧的差别。 Hawthorne’s “Scarlet Letter” and Kate Chopin’s “Awakening,” in a simple sense, all tell the story of extramarital affair. The story of the third person in the position of the protagonist Dimmesdale and Robert have some similarities, but also has some differences. This paper tries to find the comparability of the two from the similarities between them and then compare their differences and their causes. This paper mainly analyzes their differences from the ideological point of view and the tragedy differences caused by them.
