Scarlet Letter

The "I" in the story is the author who discovered a previous history buff's investigation of the history of this place while looking through the customs documents, and thus learned a story about a woman who violated Puritan laws and committed adultery with others during the colonial period of the United States. Usually the fate of women who are sentenced is miserable, but this Brandy woman improved her situation through her good deeds, self-discipline and skills. At the same time, because of the special status of his cheating partner and ex-husband - a priest and the scholars around him. The priest who was supposed to be the most pious person but violated the rules gradually withered due to neurosis due to self-restraint and regret. However, with the help of the scholar who was the vengeful executioner, his life was extended. However, he became a "puppet" controlled by the other party. Because the scholar knew the weakness of the priest, he could make the other party miserable but live in frustration at any time. Even the spirit gradually shrank but the body still survived. In the end, everything came to an end after the pastor looked away from himself, took the initiative to confess his past, and used his life to complete his last missionary mission. Both the priest and the scholar passed away. Bai Lan took her daughter to England and returned to her former home after her daughter got married, becoming a guiding light for the younger generation of women. The ending of the story says that she believes that there will be a place for women in the future world, but the cause of the story will never be caused by grief but joy. The old customs stemming from the commandments are sublimated, highlighting Bai Lan's role - she uses her more than ten years of humiliation to become the power to push the priest to a higher platform, and finally achieves the ending of another story. Women are not just passive recipients, they can also be promoters and controllers. This echoes the story of the governor's sister, who was once a witch and highly respected but was ostracized after the colony was opened. As a religious person, she has seen too many examples like the priest and Bai Lan, but those people have not been exposed. At the same time, the author who wrote this story hated the family history because of the evil deeds of the family elders in the witch hunts (many innocent women died as a result). Therefore, he incorporated his own point of view into the end of the story, because the reason why witches in the past were hunted was because of her special characteristics-beauty, certain knowledge, or the "evil" of human nature in the neighborhood. Evaluation: The combination of moral, psychological neurosis and social mores and history, The Ascetic.

I have read it three or four times in a so-and-so way. I read it for school tasks, but I still got some special gains. I feel that the "sin" described in this book should never be attributed to only one person. In such a historical background, everyone should have "original sin". Fortunately, a pearl appeared in the author's writing, which redeemed all these evils. I really hope that the real society can be like the novel, and that even if it is in the mud, it can be redeemed.

After reading the paper book several times, I unexpectedly discovered that it is also available here, with a different translator. I was pleasantly surprised.

I particularly liked the scene where she turned the scarlet letter into a symbol of morality and glory. It was so exciting! Just like the book says, "Her spirit shines in a glory that is close to triumph." Bai Lan has proved her strength and justice with her actions. This book made me feel the social reality of that era, and also made me cherish my current life more. I think every mother should read this book, there will be a lot to gain!

I originally watched it to complete the task assigned by the teacher. After reading it, I was deeply attracted by the heroine's character charm.

Atonement is present throughout the story, and Hester's tenacity and Dimmesdale's belated responsibility are impressive.
