Vindictive Virtue in "The Scarlet Letter"

Ralph Waldo Emerson, the great American philosopher, and more importantly the leader of the transcendental movement, society once said that society "is not walking the way the road can go, It is recommended that you walk. " A place to leave traces. In a sense, this philosophy is shared among the transcendents. Because they try to delve deeper into their own spirituality and individualism separating them from rational religious people of the last century. Among these rebels of the 19th century, Nathaniel Hawthorne told his attitude with a "red letter", the young Hester Prinine must face severe social judgment due to personal circumstances I am scared.

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.

Nathaniel Hawthorne's unique "red letter" is usually in a society where people are criticized, punished and despised against personal choices and flaws. Author Nathaniel Hawthorne uses Hester Prynne in the novel "The Scarlet Letter" to symbolize that people who challenge social integration benefit society as a whole. She was banished for adultery but she believes that the community needs her. Through her bold novel "Red Letter" by Nathaniel Hawthorne, it develops 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. Before he was in Hester and other parts of the town, he continued to provide a speech on how she is most interested in her and her father.

Around. The potential evil that Hawthorne treats in "red letters" is hypocritical. Hypocrisy is an act claiming to be a belief, an emotion, or a virtue. All three protagonists of Hester, Dimmesdale, Chillingworth have committed a false crime. Hawthorne shows that hypocrisy is a crime by actually punishing criminals. Hester Prynne is a strong, independent woman who treated her adulter very well. She could not escape it, but accepted her punishment. However, while yielding to the court's intention, she did not believe that she immediately committed a crime. Herstar believes that she has not committed adultery because she has not really married to Chillingworth.
