Comparing Three Nathaniel Hawthorne Stories

The short story by Nathaniel Hawthorne, such as Dr. Heidegger's experiment, the daughter of Lapaccini, and the birth monument, has a potentially meaning and shows a similar theme. Hawthorne uses his story to clarify his beliefs about the competition between nature, religion and science in daily life. In all his three short stories, he refused to accept scientific concepts before religion and nature. Hawthorn clearly believes that if nature and religion are forged using science, it can only end in a serious way, more specifically it can die.

Nathaniel Hawthorne was born in Salem, Massachusetts in 1804. The name he was born was Nathaniel Hawthorne. When he began signing his story, he added w to his name. ("Nathaniel Hawthorne" American writer II) One of Hawthorne's ancestors was actually a judge in Salem Witch trial. Hawthorn's embarrassment and shame about his ancestors were included in some of his stories. (McGraw Hill, page 67) Hawthorne's father is the captain. When Hawthorn was just four years old, he died of heat. Soon after his father's death, her mother was forced to move three children to his parents house and her brother's house in Maine province. As many famous writers argue, the childhood of Hawthorne is not unusual in particular.

Whether Nathaniel Hawthorne's ancestor played a role in his novel "Red Letter" is a big argument. "Nathaniel Hawthorne is descendants of Hathornes and Mannings" ("Nathaniel Hawthorne Family: Introduction") One of the most influential people in Hawthorne's life is Elizabeth Clark Manning, the mother of Hawthorne, born in 1780 . It is a year. Her ancestors arrived in the new world in 1679. ("Nathaniel Hawthorne Family: Introduction") Manning took care of Hawthorne at the age of four, as her husband died of yellow fever. (Nathaniel Hawthorne - Biography) With this, Hawthorne is deepening empathy with women in his novel. For example, Hester of 'red letter' was not hanged for adultery, she was released and she could live her life like everyone else. Another Hawthorn's ancestor helped Major William Hawthorne to help persecute the Quaker.
