宗教色彩在霍桑的名著《红字》中几乎无所不在。同时,多年来,批评家们在霍桑对于清教含糊不清的态度上是有很大争议的。虽然我们不能得出一个明确的结论:即他完全支持或反对清教,但我们可以很容易的在《红字》的语句中感知到作者的态度。在这篇文章中,笔者试图了解霍桑如何进行评述或者说,如何通过明珠——一个亵渎上帝者,对清教徒教义的违抗表现出来。这种表现主要有三个方面,即明珠的美丽,她独特的个性和未来。 Religious color is almost everywhere in Hawthorne’s famous “Scarlet Letter.” Meanwhile, critics at Hawthorne have been controversial over the years about the vagueness of Puritanism. Although we can not come to a clear conclusion that he fully supports or opposes Puritanism, we can easily perceive the author’s attitude in the “Scarlet Letter”. In this essay, I seek to understand how Hawthorne made her comments or how the defiance of the Puritan doctrine through the Pearl, a blasphemer, was demonstrated. This performance mainly has three aspects, namely the beautiful pearl, her unique personality and the future.
