The Scarlet Letter

Nathaniel Hawthorne accepted the shameful penalty of wearing a red letter "A" in her chest at a young female novel "Red Letter" named Hester Prynne. Throughout the novel, the forest outside Puritan 's town provides a place for characters to express their real self from a strict Puritan lifestyle. Forest is a conflicting theme, promoting darkness and evil while creating a sanctuary for love and freedom. The isolation of forest and society not only provides freedom for people who choose to do evil but also protects people who seek clarity and happiness.

"Red Letter" reveals moral and social values ​​related to social discrimination against women through alienation of Hester Prynne, the main character of "Red Letter". In the "red letter", Hester was punished for an affair relationship with Pastor Din Mesdale, and a child named Pearl was born. Due to adultery, the Puritan social authority she lived for her to wear a red letter on her chest, which means that the public can not guarantee that the public will see her red letters and pearls throughout the community Standing on the scaffold in front But in practice, Hester is "red" and there is social alienation and it is sentenced to life imprisonment for the reason that the community is looking at foreigners contaminants . For that reason, women are further alienated because they should act according to society's beliefs.

First, the most important and influential sign in the book is notorious scarlet letters, so the title is "red". In chapter two, Hester left the prison and was wearing the notorious red letter "A". In the first few years of Hester 's punishment, the letter reminded people of shame everyday. In Chapter 5, Hawthorne writes: "... Hester Prynne always feels extremely painful when he feels that he feels this symbol.This place has never been ruthless.Every day is more sensitive due to everyday torture. "But as the story develops, this letter means something else for Hester and the people, then in Chapter 18, Hawthorne wrote:" We have Hester Prinley As I believe, seven years of gangsters and shame seems to be preparing for the present time. " As Hawthorne wrote, Hester's sorry, came, it did not carry out its mission.

In "red letters" written by Nathaniel Hawthorne, the symbol, especially the letter "A" plays an important role. The letter "A" or "red letter" represents direct adultery, and the owner Hester and the pastor Mr. Ding Mesdale bear the burden. Because the letter "A" is a symbol of sin and awkwardness, or at least a means, it has a deeper meaning than affair. The letter 'A' signifies the sign of the が, but it develops throughout the story and keeps their beliefs. In order to strengthen their power, the government pays close attention to people and makes everyone vulnerable; life is too fast, there is not much time to think about the world. Like the suppression of Nathaniel Hawthorne's "red letter", the hero's Hester Prinn violated the strict rules of the Puritan community and was abandoned by the public.
