Tradgedy:The Scarlet Letter

Tragedy, many people define different ways. So what is the tragedy? Arthur Miller defines the tragedy by specifying certain features that must be included in the story; it must have a character of life and breathing, it must bring in knowledge or enlightenment. This definition really defines what the tragedy is, but I think there is more. I think that the story should be a tragedy It is not necessary to have the above aspects, but all readers must decide whether it is a tragedy.

Hawthorne's "Red Letter" that loves Dimmesdale * Works that do not include Hawthorne's novel "Red Letter" are a wonderful story about truth and love. When the romantic literature of the 19th century was popular in America, he wrote a "red letter." His story tells us of the charges of adultery in the village of Puritan. Hawthorne's first role was the young bride, Hester Prynne, waiting for her husband. - Nathaniel Hawthorne's bold novel "Red Letter" is developing around sin and punishment. The protagonist of this novel is quite contrastive on how to respond to crime. Dimmesdale's immediate reaction to crime is to tell a lie. He stood in front of Hester and other towns, continued an inspiring speech on how she is above her and the greatest interest in revealing her father's name ( 67).

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.
