The Scarlet Letter (masterpiece of World Literature)
About This Novel
A novel by Hawthorne, an American romantic writer in the 19th century. Published in 1850. "The Scarlet Letter" tells the story of a love tragedy that occurred during the colonial period in North America. The heroine Hester Prynne married the doctor Chillingworth, but there was no love between them. In loneliness, Prynne fell in love with the Reverend Dimmesdale and gave birth to their daughter Pearl. Bai Lan was punished in public and wore a red letter A symbolizing "adultery". However, Bai Lan was unyielding and refused to tell the child's father. The novel usually uses symbolic techniques, and the characters, plots and language are all quite subjective and imaginative. In the description, people's psychological activities and intuition are often given top priority. Therefore, it is not only a representative work of American romantic novels, but also known as the pioneer of American psychoanalytic novels.
