红字》的象征意义关键词：红字 象征主义 中国论文 职称论文摘要:分析了《红字》中红字“A”丰富而深刻的内涵,指出作者通过塑造“小珠儿”的形象,增强了美与丑,善与恶的对比,寄托了作者对爱的绝对自由的向往。关键词:红字;A Pearl;象征主义纳萨内尼·霍桑是浪漫主义时期美国最具天赋的小说家。他开创了美国文学史上“象征浪漫主义”的创作手法。作为生活在19世纪中期的浪漫主义作家,霍桑深受清教意识、超验哲学和神秘主义三种思想的影响,他对社会充满了怀疑,使得他的作品具有强烈的象征主义倾向。长篇小说《红字》是霍桑的代表作,作品以一通奸案为题材,通过描述小说人物的思想矛盾和生活遭遇来揭露黑暗的社会。霍桑在《红字》中艺术技巧独具匠心,特别是广泛地运用象征手法,像变魔术一样给予平凡的单词以不平凡的意义,给人以深刻的启示。《红字》中使用的象征手法有其深刻的思想根源和美学理论基础,体现了霍桑对“生命力受到压抑”的切肤之痛。鲁迅曾经指出“生命受到压抑而生的苦闷懊恼是文学的根底,而其表现手法乃是广义的象征主义”。霍桑的代表作《红字》正是在继承传统象征意义的艺术手法的基础上,开创了象征主义的新篇章。作为小说名字的“红字”贯穿于故事的全过程,并带有不同的象征含义,具有多义性和不确定性。随着故事情节的发展,红字“A”的内涵发生了由Adulteress到Able再到Angle的变化。这种象征的多义性和不确定性正是作者思想矛盾的反映,同时,作者一方面控诉清教对人性的摧残和压抑;另一方面又认同清教的道德观和教义。《红字》以17世纪北美清教殖民统治下的新英格兰为背景,取材于1642—1649年在波士顿发生的一个恋爱悲剧。故事一开始的场景发生在该镇监狱的门前,而这个场景的主角是海丝特·白兰,一个年轻、美丽的女人,她怀里抱着3个月大的女婴———珠儿,站在刑台上,等待政教合一的加尔文教(即清教)政权在大庭广众面前宣布对她的判决。那么,受审的女罪犯是什么人?她又犯了什么罪?故事开始于几年前,出身英国破落贵族家庭的白兰嫁给了一个畸形的年老学者。婚后,两人决定移居波士顿。途径荷兰时,丈夫因有事留下,妻子先独自来到波士顿,一住近两年。期间丈夫毫无音信。据传他在赶来的途中被印第安人俘虏,生死不明。在独居生活中,海丝特与当地牧师阿瑟·丁梅斯代尔相爱,生下了一个女婴。显然,她犯下了基督教“十戒”中的“一戒”,即通奸罪,为清教的教义所不容。她被投入监狱,法庭判她有罪,令她在刑台上站立三个小时当众受辱,并终身佩带一个红色的字母A(英文通奸Adultery的第一个字母)作为惩戒。但是作者霍桑赋予了在刑台上的“A”更深层的含义。对于压抑人民和毒害人民思想的清教而言,红字“A”为通奸的标记,事实上“A”不仅是海丝特深爱着的恋人Arthur Dimmesdale名字的第一个字母,也是法语中爱情Amour这个词的第一个字母。从字里行间中,读者可以品味出作者霍桑同情海丝特对爱的追求,甚至认为那是人的纯真本性,笔下洋溢出对海丝特的赞美之词:“斯特胸前红色的“A”字之精美仿佛不是屈辱的标志,而是艺术饰品。这个红色的“A”字是用细红布做的,四周用金色的丝线精心刺绣而成,手工奇巧。对于这个“A”字,霍桑设计的独具匠心,包含了丰富而华美的想象,配在她穿的那件衣服上真成了一件美丽的装饰品”。文中的描写给读者的感觉是海丝特仿佛不是一个“犯下无耻罪行的犯人”,而是一个怀抱圣婴的美丽端庄的妇人。随着故事的发展,霍桑不断地赋予了红字“A”更多更深层的含义。海斯特是一个向往纯真爱情,渴望幸福的女人。虽然她无法摆脱强加在她身体上的耻辱,但是她的内心深处的感情却激情澎湃,无法遏制。为了维持生计,她为别人刺绣。她的绣工巧夺天工,精妙绝伦。她精心地绣制各种美丽的“A”字。除了维持生计,海丝特别无所求,把寄托着她的青春,激情和才气的绣品换来的钱施舍给比她幸运的穷苦百姓。尽管她乐善好施,但是海丝特仍然没有摆脱精神的痛苦和世俗的磨难。但她始终没有消沉,反而变得坚强而成熟,依然反抗着清教并坚信着对丁梅斯代尔的爱情。时间是最好的证明,渐渐地她胸前所佩戴的红色字母“A”在众人的心中有了另一番含义:“没有人能够像她那样乐善好施,那样喜欢接济贫困者”;“那刺绣的红字闪射出非凡的光芒,给人以慰藉。在别的地方他是罪恶的标志,但在病房里却成为蜡烛。”虽然还有那些“执着的清教徒”认为海丝特的红字是耻辱的象征,但是更多善良的人们拒绝再用原来的意思解释“A”,他们说那个字的意思应该解释为“能干”(able)的意思。她以自己的美德赢得了人们的尊重和敬爱,她无尽的同情心和勇于献身的精神产生了巨大的力量,在众人眼中,红字“A”反而具有了天使的内涵———纯洁,美丽,善良,博爱。通过作者对红色字母“A”的驾驭,我们可以看出霍桑对主人公海丝特热情、善良、坚强、勇敢的天性的赞美。于此同时,我们也可以看出作者的另一个写作意图,通过美与丑,善与恶的对比,霍桑对清教徒的卑劣行径刻画的入木三分,痛斥得酣畅淋漓。“清教徒倡导勤俭、反对奢靡,无疑是净化社会的一剂良药,但是标榜禁欲,让世人过苦行僧般的生活,多少有些泯灭人性之嫌”。而主人公海丝特正是祭奠清教徒狂热宗教信仰的无辜羔羊。通过“A”的不断变化,作者为我们揭示了当时社会的真实图景。如果说红字A在清教徒的眼中是通奸的代表,那么赋予了象征意义的红字A就象征着善良、美好、坚强和勤劳。如果说小珠儿是永不磨灭的活着的红字的话,那么赋予了象征意义的小珠儿就象征着纯真的爱情、这个时代的曙光。Pearl(小珠儿)是这部小说中唯一的一个阳光人物,她像珍珠一样纯洁,像天使一样善良快乐。在四个主要人物中,只有小珠儿在道德上是完美没有残缺的,她象征着人性中最无暇的一面。小珠儿的出现并非是作者的心血来潮,读者从对海丝特女儿名字的设计上就可以体会到。她是海丝特和丁梅斯代尔的女儿。Pearl这个词来源于圣经,意思是“十分珍贵的东西”。在圣经中记载,上帝让一个商人卖掉所有的财产去买一颗珍珠,并告诉他这颗珍珠即是他的天堂。海丝特为这段爱情付出了沉重的代价,可以说女儿在她心中占据绝对重要的位置,是她的天堂。同时,霍桑在小珠儿情节上的设计也是恰到好处,独具匠心。小珠儿既是海丝特爱情的象征,同时也是她耻辱的象征,是活着的红字。作者总是会有意无意地描写小珠儿对红字近乎天生的热爱:小珠儿出生时第一眼看到的就是母亲胸前灿烂的红字A.而且小珠儿十分的喜欢,伸手去抓,“眼里总是含着奇怪的表情与特殊的微笑”。正是珠儿的存在才时刻提醒着海丝特和丁梅斯代尔他们曾经犯下的“罪行”,督促他们净化自己的灵魂改过自新。正是因为小珠儿的存在才使丁梅斯代尔有勇气在公众面前承认自己的“罪行”。可以说,小珠儿寄托了作者对美好生活,纯真爱情,和追求善良无暇的人性的向往。是作者的希望所在,也是社会的希望所在。总而言之,正是由于霍桑在《红字》中独具匠心的象征手法的运用,使《红字》成为美国第一部象征主义小说,也正是因为霍桑在《红字》中象征手法的成功运用,成就了《红字》在文学领域的重要地位。参考文献[1]常耀信.美国文学简史[M].天津:南开大学出版社,2003.[2]任晓晋,魏玲.红字中象征与原型的 模糊性、多义性和矛盾性[J].外国文学研究,2000,(1):121-125.[3]於奇.新编美国文学选读[M].郑州大学出版社,2005[4]田俊武.霍桑红字人名寓意研究[J].外国文学研究,1999,(1):52-54.[5]胡尚田.论红字中的红字[J].四川外语学院学报,1999,(4):45-48.[6]约翰·罗尔斯.正义论[M].北京:中国社会科学出版社, study of sym bolic m ean ingsof The Scarlet L etterZHANG W en-si(Fudan U n iversity,S hangha i 200433,Ch ina)Abstract:The author gives many rich and p rofoundmeanings of the scarlet letter A to contract beauty w ithugliness besides kindness and reposes too much hope by molding the im age words:“the scarlet letter”;A Pearl;symbolism

[摘要] 撒纳尼尔•霍桑是美国19世纪著名的浪漫主义小说家、美国浪漫主义小说和心理分析小说的开创人之一。他善于运用浪漫主义的想像、象征寓意和大量主观色彩浓重的心理分析描写来突出主题、烘托人物的内心世界，同时亦表现出神秘主义的晦涩。在其代表作《红字》中，霍桑更是将这一语言技巧发挥的淋漓尽致，赋予了红色字母“A”丰富的内涵。本文主要通过分析字母“A”在小说中的各种象征意义来理解《红字》这部经典著作。
[关键词] 《红字》 字母“A” 象征意义
象征是文学创作中的一种艺术手法，借助具体的事物、形象来揭示抽象的概念或含义，从而诱发读者的想像力和联想力。“撒纳尼尔•霍桑善于运用象征性的事物来揭示具体事物背后的深层涵义”，被视为现代文学象征主义的先驱。在小说《红字》中，霍桑运用最为娴熟的艺术手法也是象征。他赋予了字母“A”及赫丝特等四位主人公丰富多样的深层意义，本文着重对贯穿整部作品始末的字母“A”加以分析，以此加深对作品的理解。
作为小说名字的“红字”贯穿于故事的全过程，并带有不同的象征含义。在小说的最开始，字母“A”是女主人公赫丝特罪恶的象征，随着故事的发展，字母“A”最终成为了“能干”、“受钦佩”、“天使”的代名词。
小说伊始主人公赫丝特•普林在差役的押解下，怀抱婴儿走上了波士顿议会厅外的示众台被教庭示众。因犯有通奸罪，赫丝特被判处终身佩戴红色的“A”字(Adultery的第一个字母，意为通奸)，无论什么时候她走在大街上都将被其他教会会员鄙视。在众多清教徒的眼中，赫丝特胸前佩戴的“A”无疑是罪恶和耻辱的标记。然而霍桑对红色字母“A”的描写却似乎想要赋予它另外一种涵义，“她的胸前有一个用漂亮的红布缝制的A形标记，而标记的饰边却是以金黄色的线精心刺绣出的华美图案。”
尽管深受清教思想毒害的清教徒们把红字“A”看作是通奸的标记，事实上，它具有更深层的象征意义。“A”不仅是赫丝特深爱着的恋人丁梅斯代尔(Arthur Dimmesdale)名字的第一个字母，也是法语中爱情(Amour)这个词的首字母，因此,红字“A”相应地代表了赫丝特对丁梅斯代尔的忠贞爱情。这一点从赫丝特被带往示众台的过程中她脸上的表情可以看出来，“于是，她将孩子移开，耽在胳膊上，面孔泛出滚烫的红晕，且挂着高傲的微笑，以一种不容蔑视的目光环顾了一下四周的市民以及邻人。”为了保护自己心爱的人，赫丝特甘愿受罚，独自承担了所有的罪责、独自承受着众人恶毒的语言及唾沫和白眼;监禁期满后，赫丝特完全可以扔掉胸前的“A”、离开新英格兰那个让她饱受屈辱的地方，但是她选择了留下，因为她心爱的“那个人就住在这里，此处有他踏出的脚印。她自认为和那个人结成了一种在这个世界上得不到承认的关系，正是这种关系将把他们一道送上末日审判席，并将审判席变为他们婚礼的祭坛，使他们在茫无涯际的来世结合在一起。”这也正说明了在她的心中仍然保有对丁梅斯代尔的爱。正是这份爱给了她勇气和力量得以忍受巨大的痛苦，也正是这份爱支持她仍然留在了新英格兰期待美好的生活。因此可以说，霍桑展示给我们的红色字母“A”并不仅仅是罪恶的标记，它也象征着赫丝特与丁梅斯代尔之间纯洁而伟大的爱情。
赫丝特能做一手好活计，她第一次出现在众人面前时胸前佩戴的A形标记就可以看出，她的`针线活真是巧夺天工。凭借这种活计就是女红，海丝特仍可以养活自己以及一天天长大的孩子，过着衣食不愁的生活。除了维持生计，赫丝特别无所求，把余出的钱拿出一点打扮自己的孩子，而其余的则捐献给慈善事业，施舍给比她幸运的穷苦百姓，尽管这些受了恩惠的人时常侮辱她。赫丝特天性善良，在人们遇到困难时，她都尽可能地给以帮助，“没有任何人能像她那样乐善好施，那样喜欢周济贫困者。”“无论何时何地，只要有灾难发生，她都会立刻找到自己的位置，服务于公众或造福于个人。”“那刺绣的红字闪射出非凡的光芒，给人带来慰藉。在别的地方它是罪恶的标志，但在病房里却成为蜡烛。”
久而久之，赫丝特表现出的温暖和宝贵的天性逐渐赢得了人们普遍的好感，而她胸前所佩戴带的红色字母“A”在众人的心中也有了另外一番含义：“红字成了她事业的象征。她乐于助人，而且精明强干和富于同情之心，最后，许多人都拒绝再用原来的意思解释红色的‘A’字了。他们说那字的意思是‘能干’(Able)，因为赫丝特•普林虽然是个妇道人家，但却无比坚强有力。”他们不再把红字看作罪恶的标记——一种对她的漫长和凄惨的惩罚——而是视为她积德行善的象征。
看到丁梅斯代尔饱受折磨的痛苦，赫丝特最初试图说服前夫老罗杰•齐林沃思放弃报复行为;劝说失败之后她就与丁梅斯代尔在树林中会面，告知丁梅斯代尔事实真相后，又劝说他和她们母女一起离开此地，并为这次旅行做好了准备。丁梅斯代尔在大庭广众之下要她和珠儿一起再次站到令她受辱的刑台后，她又站在了上面，帮助牧师完成了用生命所作的对上帝的赎罪。丁梅斯代尔先生去世不久，老罗杰•齐林沃思便一命乌呼了，这之后红字的佩戴者赫丝特•普林也不知了去向。然而多年后，她又回到了波士顿，重捡起了久别的耻辱，又戴上了那个给我们讲述了一段如此悲惨故事的标记。“在悠悠的岁月里，赫丝特的生活充满了辛勤劳作、对他人的体贴以及自我献身精神，因此，红字不再是一种招致世人嘲笑和唾弃的标记，而变成了引人哀伤，令人望而生畏、肃然起敬的东西。”[2]赫丝特•普林无私无怨，在生活中尽己所能帮助别人，尤其是女人，在她们感情经受磨难时，“或是由于不受重视和无人追求，心里想不开，产生了忧郁的负担”时，[2]赫丝特总是尽全力安慰她们，为她们出谋划策，从而又给红字赋予了天使(Angel)这一全新的象征意义。正如任晓晋和魏玲在他们的文章中所说的那样，“赫丝特通过她的美德赢得了小镇人的尊敬，她的行为为红色字母‘A’赋予了神圣的意义。在人们的心中，它就像修女胸前的十字架，是天使的象征。”

《红字》讲述了17世纪清教殖民统治下，在波士顿发生的一个恋爱悲剧。女主人公海丝特·白兰嫁给了医生奇灵渥斯，奇灵渥斯遭遇海难，白兰以为他在海难中已经遭遇不幸。在孤独中白兰与牧师丁梅斯代尔相恋并生下女儿珠儿。白兰被当众惩罚，戴上标志“通奸”的红色A字示众。然而白兰坚贞不屈，拒不说出孩子的父亲。后来丈夫齐灵渥斯却平安地回到了新英格兰，并隐瞒了自己的身份。当他查出白兰的情人是丁梅斯代尔，齐灵渥斯便开始折磨这位愧疚不已的年轻牧师。最终，齐灵渥斯因偏狂报复而身败名裂；丁梅斯代尔不堪愧疚，身心俱毁，临终前在公开承认了通奸事实；只有海丝特勇敢地面对未来，准备带着女儿去欧洲开始新的生活。 霍桑是美国十九世纪杰出的浪漫主义小说家。他把严肃的道德和历史内容与卓越的艺术表现形式巧妙地结合在一起；把天赋的想象力与高超的语言技巧融为一体。他是一位真正富有个性与创造力的作家，因而一直享誉英美和世界文坛，至今盛名不衰。进入二十世纪，美国的文学日趋成熟，涌现了一大批有成就的作家，如海明威、菲兹杰拉德、福克纳等。这些作家无不从霍桑那里深受教益，无怪乎有人称霍桑是“作家中的作家”。

——以思想道德建设为视角
姓名： 刘某某

专业： 法学
年级： XX级

一、选题依据(目的、意义、学术价值、该课题国内外研究现状、本人学术准备情况)
(一)研究的缘起与意义
新中国成立至今，政治、经济、文化蓬勃发展，社会各项事业日新月异。与此同时，社会治安形势不容乐观，其中，未成年人犯罪突出。未成年人犯罪不仅意味着个人与社会的严重冲突，而且更意味着社会化、文明化的挫败;不仅危害了社会治安秩序，干扰了经济建设和发展，也严重影响未成年人的健康成长，关系到国家的前途。未成年人犯罪的原因是多方面的，品德不良是导致未成年人犯罪的重要原因。在构建和谐社会的背景下，加强未成年人的思想道德建设，有效地预防和减少未成年人犯罪，具有重要意义。
1、理论意义
其一，刑事法学领域：
(1)为未成年人犯罪的研究提供新的视角。以思想道德建设为视角开展未成年人犯罪问题的研究，可以为犯罪问题的研究拓展新的思路。我国当前对未成年人犯罪预防问题的研究，主要是从犯罪学和刑法学两个学科内进行探讨。其中，犯罪学领域侧重于事前的社会预防和事中的治安预防;刑法学领域侧重于事后的刑罚预防。这些预防措施主要是通过外在的手段实现对未成年人越轨行为的规制，而犯罪预防内在手段的运用，即借助思想道德意识的作用引导未成年人的行为，并没有引起足够的重视。本文以未成年人的思想道德建设为视角，对未成年人犯罪预防问题展开分析，试图为犯罪预防问题的研究注入新的活力。
(2)冲破思辨研究一统天下的局面。科学的研究方法是任何科学赖以建立和发展的工具。犯罪是一“综合病症”，必须采用多种研究方法对犯罪问题进行剖析。刑事法学并非书斋里的学问，其实践性和应用性都很强。我国的学者长期以来惯于思辨式的理论研究，缺少对犯罪问题进行实证考察。本文拟通过实证调查、个别访谈的方法，了解未成年人犯罪的实际态势、分析犯罪发生的原因，为犯罪预防的研究提供实证资料。
其二，政治学领域：本研究除了在刑事法学研究领域中具有重要意义外，还具有非常重要的政治学价值。我国未成年人有3亿多，他们的思想道德状况如何，一定程度上影响着犯罪的发生，影响国家的未来发展。在当前的社会形势下，从思想道德建设的角度出发，结合未成年人犯罪的现实，有针对性地提出犯罪预防对策，对于实现我国现代化建设和社会持续进步不仅是必要的而且是必需的。
2、实践意义
未成年人是社会主义现代化事业的建设者和接班人，关注未成年人就是关心祖国的未来。从思想道德建设的视角出发，对未成年人犯罪预防问题作系统解读，可以为我国和谐社会的构建献计献策。当前，我国正处于社会转型期，构建和谐社会是我国重要的战略选择。我们要建设的是民主法治、公平正义、安定有序、人民安居乐业的和谐社会，要坚持以人为本，实现人的全面发展和社会的全面进步。犯罪破坏社会和谐，尤其是未成年人犯罪，不仅影响社会治安，更是关系到整整一代人的成长和未来国民的素质，这对和谐社会的构建意义非常。因此，关注未成年人犯罪问题不仅具有重要的现实意义，而且还具有深远的战略意义。预防和减少未成年人犯罪，有利于保障人民的安居乐业，促进社会的持续协调发展。本文根据调查收集的资料，有针对性地从思想道德建设的角度提出未成年人个人预防措施和社会治理对策。这些建议和对策，立足于我国实际，更加突出可行性和可操作性，将为我国构建和谐社会提供有益参考。
(二)研究现状
《红字》讲述了17世纪清教殖民统治下，在波士顿发生的一个恋爱悲剧。女主人公海丝特·白兰嫁给了医生奇灵渥斯，奇灵渥斯遭遇海难，白兰以为他在海难中已经遭遇不幸。在孤独中白兰与牧师丁梅斯代尔相恋并生下女儿珠儿。白兰被当众惩罚，戴上标志“通奸”的红色A字示众。然而白兰坚贞不屈，拒不说出孩子的父亲。后来丈夫齐灵渥斯却平安地回到了新英格兰，并隐瞒了自己的身份。当他查出白兰的情人是丁梅斯代尔，齐灵渥斯便开始折磨这位愧疚不已的年轻牧师。最终，齐灵渥斯因偏狂报复而身败名裂；丁梅斯代尔不堪愧疚，身心俱毁，临终前在公开承认了通奸事实；只有海丝特勇敢地面对未来，准备带着女儿去欧洲开始新的生活。 霍桑是美国十九世纪杰出的浪漫主义小说家。他把严肃的道德和历史内容与卓越的艺术表现形式巧妙地结合在一起；把天赋的想象力与高超的语言技巧融为一体。他是一位真正富有个性与创造力的作家，因而一直享誉英美和世界文坛，至今盛名不衰。进入二十世纪，美国的文学日趋成熟，涌现了一大批有成就的作家，如海明威、菲兹杰拉德、福克纳等。这些作家无不从霍桑那里深受教益，无怪乎有人称霍桑是“作家中的作家”。
The Scarlet Letter, published in 1850, is an American novel written by Nathaniel Hawthorne and is generally considered to be his magnum opus. Set in 17th-century Puritan Boston, it tells the story of Hester Prynne, who gives birth after committing adultery, refuses to name the father, and struggles to create a new life of repentance and dignity. Throughout the novel, Hawthorne explores questions of grace, legalism, sin and guilt.[edit] Plot summaryThe Scarlet Letter. Painting by T. H. Matteson. This 1860 oil-on-canvas was made under Hawthorne's personal Scarlet Letter. Painting by T. H. Matteson. This 1860 oil-on-canvas was made under Hawthorne's personal supervision.[1]The novel begins in 17th-century Boston, Massachusetts, then a Puritan settlement. A young woman, Hester Prynne, is led from the town prison with her infant daughter in her arms and the scarlet letter “A” on her bosom. The scarlet letter "A" represents the act of adultery that she has committed and it is to be a symbol of her sin – a badge of shame – for all to see. A man in the crowd tells an elderly onlooker that Hester is being punished for adultery. Hester's husband, who is much older than she is, sent her ahead to America while he settled some affairs in Europe. However, her husband never arrived in Boston. The consensus is that he has been lost at sea. While waiting for her husband, Hester has apparently had an affair, as she has given birth to a child. She will not reveal her lover’s identity, however, and the scarlet letter, along with her public shaming, is her punishment for her sin and her secrecy. On this day Hester is led to the town scaffold and harangued by the town fathers, but she again refuses to identify her child’s father.[1]The elderly onlooker is Hester’s missing husband, who is now practicing medicine and calling himself Roger Chillingworth. He settles in Boston, intent on revenge. He reveals his true identity to no one but Hester, whom he has sworn to secrecy. Several years pass. Hester supports herself by working as a seamstress, and Pearl (her daughter) grows into a willful, impish child, who is more of a symbol than an actual character, said to be the scarlet letter come to life as both Hester's love and her punishment. Shunned by the community, they live in a small cottage on the outskirts of Boston. Community officials attempt to take Pearl away from Hester, but, with the help of Arthur Dimmesdale, an eloquent minister, the mother and daughter manage to stay together. Dimmesdale, however, appears to be wasting away and suffers from mysterious heart trouble, seemingly caused by psychological distress. Chillingworth attaches himself to the ailing minister and eventually moves in with him so that he can provide his patient with round-the-clock care. Chillingworth also suspects that there may be a connection between the minister’s torments and Hester’s secret, and he begins to test Dimmesdale to see what he can learn. One afternoon, while the minister sleeps, Chillingworth discovers something undescribed to the reader, supposedly an "A" burned into Dimmesdale's chest, which convinces him that his suspicions are correct.[1]Dimmesdale’s psychological anguish deepens, and he invents new tortures for himself. In the meantime, Hester’s charitable deeds and quiet humility have earned her a reprieve from the scorn of the community. One night, when Pearl is about seven years old, she and her mother are returning home from a visit to the deathbed of John Winthrop when they encounter Dimmesdale atop the town scaffold, trying to punish himself for his sins. Hester and Pearl join him, and the three link hands. Dimmesdale refuses Pearl’s request that he acknowledge her publicly the next day, and a meteor marks a dull red “A” in the night sky. It is interpreted by the townsfolk to mean Angel, as a prominent figure in the community had died that night, but Dimmesdale sees it as meaning Adultery. Hester can see that the minister’s condition is worsening, and she resolves to intervene. She goes to Chillingworth and asks him to stop adding to Dimmesdale’s self-torment. Chillingworth refuses. She suggests that she may reveal his identity to Dimmesdale.[1]Hester arranges an encounter with Dimmesdale in the forest because she is aware that Chillingworth knows that she plans to reveal his identity to Dimmesdale, and she wishes to protect him. While walking through the forest, the sun will not shine on Hester, though Pearl can bask in it. They then wait for Dimmesdale, and he arrives. The former lovers decide to flee to Europe, where they can live with Pearl as a family. They will take a ship sailing from Boston in four days. Both feel a sense of release, and Hester removes her scarlet letter and lets down her hair. The sun immediately breaks through the clouds and trees to illuminate her release and joy. Pearl, playing nearby, does not recognize her mother without the letter. She is unnerved and expels a shriek until her mother points out the letter on the ground. Hester beckons Pearl to come to her, but Pearl will not go to her mother until Hester buttons the letter back onto her dress. Pearl then goes to her mother. Dimmesdale gives Pearl a kiss on the forehead, which Pearl immediately tries to wash off in the brook, because he again refuses to make known publicly their relationship. However, he too clearly feels a release from the pretense of his former life, and the laws and sins he has lived day before the ship is to sail, the townspeople gather for a holiday and Dimmesdale preaches his most eloquent sermon ever. Meanwhile, Hester has learned that Chillingworth knows of their plan and has booked passage on the same ship. Dimmesdale, leaving the church after his sermon, sees Hester and Pearl standing before the town scaffold. He impulsively mounts the scaffold with his lover and his daughter, and confesses publicly, exposing the mark supposedly seared into the flesh of his chest. He falls dead just after Pearl kisses him.[1]Frustrated in his revenge, Chillingworth dies a year later. Hester and Pearl leave Boston, and no one knows what has happened to them. Many years later, Hester returns alone, still wearing the scarlet letter, to live in her old cottage and resume her charitable work. She receives occasional letters from Pearl, who was rumored to have married an European aristocrat and established a family of her own. Pearl also inherits all of Chillingworth's money even though he knows she is not his daughter. There is a sense of liberation in her and the townspeople, especially the women, who had finally begun to forgive Hester of her tragic indiscretion. When Hester dies, she is buried in "a new grave near an old and sunken one, in that burial ground beside which King's Chapel has since been built. It was near that old and sunken grave, yet with a space between, as if the dust of the two sleepers had no right to mingle. Yet one tombstone served for both." The tombstone was decorated with a letter "A", and it was used for Hester and Dimmesdale.[edit] Major themesNathaniel HawthorneNathaniel Hawthorne[edit] SinSin and knowledge are linked in the Judeo-Christian tradition. The Bible begins with the story of Adam and Eve, who were expelled from the Garden of Eden for eating from the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil. As a result of their knowledge, Adam and Eve are made aware of their disobedience, that which separates them from the divine and from other creatures. Once expelled from the Garden of Eden, they are forced to toil and to procreate – two “labors” that seem to define the human condition. The experience of Hester and Dimmesdale recalls the story of Adam and Eve because, in both cases, sin results in expulsion and suffering. But it also results in knowledge – specifically, in knowledge of what it means to be human. For Hester, the scarlet letter functions as “her passport into regions where other women dared not tread,” leading her to “speculate” about her society and herself more “boldly” than anyone else in New England.[2]As for Dimmesdale, the “cheating minister” of his sin gives him “sympathies so intimate with the sinful brotherhood of mankind, so that his heart vibrate[s] in unison with theirs.” His eloquent and powerful sermons derive from this sense of empathy.[2] The narrative of the Reverend Arthur Dimmesdale is quite in keeping with the oldest and most fully authorized principles in Christian thought. His "Fall" is a descent from apparent grace to his own damnation; he appears to begin in purity. He ends in corruption. The subtlety is that the minister is his own deceiver, convincing himself at every stage of his spiritual pilgrimage that he is saved.[3]The rosebush, its beauty a striking contrast to all that surrounds it – as later the beautifully embroidered scarlet A will be – is held out in part as an invitation to find “some sweet moral blossom” in the ensuing, tragic tale and in part as an image that “the deep heart of nature” (perhaps God) may look more kindly on the errant Hester and her child (the roses among the weeds) than do her Puritan neighbors. Throughout the work, the nature images contrast with the stark darkness of the Puritans and their systems.[4]Chillingworth’s misshapen body reflects (or symbolizes) the evil in his soul, which builds as the novel progresses, similar to the way Dimmesdale's illness reveals his inner turmoil. The outward man reflects the condition of the heart.[4]Although Pearl is a complex character, her primary function within the novel is as a symbol. Pearl herself is the embodiment of the scarlet letter, and Hester rightly clothes her in a beautiful dress of scarlet, embroidered with gold thread, just like the scarlet letter upon Hester's bosom. [2] Parallels can be drawn between Pearl and the character Beatrice in Rappaccini's Daughter. Both are studies in the same direction, though from different standpoints. Beatrice is nourished upon poisonous plants, until she herself becomes poisonous. Pearl, in the mysterious prenatal world, imbibes the poison of her parents' guilt.[edit] Past and presentThe clashing of past and present is explored in various ways. For example, the character of the old General, whose heroic qualities include a distinguished name, perseverance, integrity, compassion, and moral inner strength, is said to be “the soul and spirit of New England hardihood.” Now put out to pasture, he sometimes presides over the Custom House run by corrupt public servants, who skip work to sleep, allow or overlook smuggling, and are supervised by an inspector with “no power of thought, nor depth of feeling, no troublesome sensibilities,” who is honest enough but without a spiritual compass.[4]Hawthorne himself had ambivalent feelings about the role of his ancestors in his life. In his autobiographical sketch, Hawthorne described his ancestors as “dim and dusky,” “grave, bearded, sable-cloaked, and steel crowned,” “bitter persecutors” whose “better deeds” would be diminished by their bad ones. There can be little doubt of Hawthorne’s disdain for the stern morality and rigidity of the Puritans, and he imagined his predecessors’ disdainful view of him: unsuccessful in their eyes, worthless and disgraceful. “A writer of story books!” But even as he disagrees with his ancestor’s viewpoint, he also feels an instinctual connection to them and, more importantly, a “sense of place” in Salem. Their blood remains in his veins, but their intolerance and lack of humanity becomes the subject of his novel.[4][edit] Public responseThe Scarlet Letter was published in the spring of 1850 by Ticknor & Fields, beginning Hawthorne's most lucrative period.[5] When he delivered the final pages to James Thomas Fields in February 1850, Hawthorne said that "some portions of the book are powerfully written" but doubted it would be popular.[6] In fact, the book was an instant best-seller[7] though, over fourteen years, it brought its author only $1,500.[5] Its initial publication brought wide protest from natives of Salem, who did not approve of how Hawthorne had depicted them in his introduction "The Custom-House". A 2,500-copy second edition of The Scarlet Letter included a preface by Hawthorne dated March 30, 1850, that he had decided to reprint his introduction "without the change of a word... The only remarkable features of the sketch are its frank and genuine good-humor... As to enmity, or ill-feeling of any kind, personal or political, he utterly disclaims such motives".[8]The book's immediate and lasting success are due to the way it addresses spiritual and moral issues from a uniquely American standpoint. In 1850, adultery was an extremely risqué subject, but because Hawthorne had the support of the New England literary establishment, it passed easily into the realm of appropriate reading. It has been said that this work represents the height of Hawthorne's literary genius; dense with terse descriptions. It remains relevant for its philosophical and psychological depth, and continues to be read as a classic tale on a universal theme.[9]The Scarlet Letter was also one of the first mass-produced books in America. Into the mid-nineteenth century, bookbinders of home-grown literature typically hand-made their books and sold them in small quantities. The first mechanized printing of The Scarlet Letter, 2,500 volumes, sold out within ten days,[5] and was widely read and discussed to an extent not much experienced in the young country up until that time. Copies of the first edition are often sought by collectors as rare books, and may fetch up to around $6,000 its publication, critic Evert Augustus Duyckinck, a friend of Hawthorne, said he preferred the author's Washington Irving-like tales. Another friend, critic Edwin Percy Whipple, objected to the novel's "morbid intensity" with dense psychological details, writing that the book "is therefore apt to become, like Hawthorne, too painfully anatomical in his exhibition of them".[10] 20th century writer D. H. Lawrence said that there could be no more perfect work of the American imagination than The Scarlet Letter.[11][edit] Allusions* Anne Hutchinson, mentioned in Chapter 1, The Prison Door, was a religious dissenter (1591-1643).

19世纪美利坚合众国浪漫主义作家霍桑的长篇小说。创作于1851年。小说描写女主人公海丝特·白兰跟丈夫从英国移居当时尚属英殖民地的美利坚合众国波士顿。中途丈夫被印第安人俘虏。海丝特只身到美后，迫于生活，被一青年牧师诱怀孕。此事，被当地虚伪的清教徒社会视为大逆不道。当局把海丝特抓起来投入监狱，游街示众，还要终生佩带象征耻辱的红色的A字（Adultery：通奸女犯）和站在示众台上受审。州长亲自主持了对海丝特的审讯，她所属教区的牧师丁梅斯代尔——一个被公众视为最高道德典范的诱海丝特的奸夫，也假惺惺地劝说她招出奸夫的姓名。但海丝特宁愿一人受辱，誓死也不招供。在远离社会，远离人群，受尽屈辱的处境中，海丝特孤苦顽强地生活着，全仗刺绣为生。她生活中的惟一支柱是抚养掌上明珠般的女儿珠儿。海丝特这种忍辱负重、代人受过和不屈不挠的精神，使丁梅斯代尔大为感动，也大受刺激，不久他便心力交瘁地病倒了。而获释归来，一直在暗中侦察底细的海丝特的丈夫罗杰·奇林渥斯医生，在给丁梅斯代尔治病中，已基本了解到了真情，并欲置丁梅斯代尔于死地。为了逃脱，海丝特跟丁梅斯代尔议定在新市长就职那天，带上孩于一同乘船到“看不到白人足迹”的地方去。但此事也被奇林渥斯识破，逃脱不成。于是，丁梅斯代尔在新市长就职那天，携海丝特和珠儿走上示众台，当丛宣布了自己诱海丝特的事实，并死在海丝特怀抱中。海丝特也从此得到了解放，带着珠儿远走他方。若干年后，珠儿长大成人，安了家立了业，而海丝特却一人再回到波士顿，仍带着那个红色的A字，用自己的“崇高的道德和助人精神”，把耻辱的红字变成了道德与光荣的象征，直到老死。小说以两百多年前的殖民地时代的美洲为题材，但揭露的却是19世纪资本主义发展时代美利坚合众国社会典法的残酷、宗教的欺和道德的虚伪。主人公海丝特被写成了崇高道德的化身。她不但感化了表里不一的丁梅斯代尔，同时也在感化着充满罪恶的社会。至于她的丈夫奇林渥斯，小说则把他写成了一个一心只想窥秘复仇的影子式的人物。他在小说中只起情节铺垫的作用。小说惯用象征手法，人物、情节和语言都颇具主观想象色彩，在描写中又常把人的心理活动和直觉放在首位。因此，它不仅是美利坚合众国浪漫主义小说的代表作，同时也被称作是美利坚合众国心理分析小说的开创篇。小说在线阅读：英文阅读：
A Comparative Study of Animal Words between English and Chinese[Abstract] In the history of developing process of human beings, some animals always keep relation with human and deeply influence human survival and development to some extent. This close relation repose human’s abounding emotions, like love, joy, hatred, fear and jealousy in animals, so there are lots of animal words in different languages. Words can reflect differences of culture and words are influenced by history, customs, values, and religion. Animal words are given special cultural connotations in different languages. There are many words of animals, such as dogs, birds, sheep, dragons, etc, used in metaphors in the human languages. These animal metaphors have explained the origins of different cultures. Research on comparisons of animal metaphors between Chinese and foreign language provides an answer to the explanations of cultural generalities. Cognitive interpretations of cultural differences or coincidence in different animal metaphors have been reflected from different language levels.
