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.

"The Scarlet Letter" is Hawthorne's first novel, which describes a romantic love story that took place in colonial New England more than two hundred years ago. The novel has a unique style with profound themes and artistic techniques such as symbolism and metaphor. It caused a huge sensation when it was published in 1850 and is still an immortal classic today. "The House of the Seven Gables" is a novel describing the decline and fall of a large family. The big house that connects the whole story has multiple symbolic meanings. These two works convey the author's views on many issues such as American history, society, politics, religion, art, and morality in a tortuous and mysterious way. They are profound in thought, exquisite in art, and exude lasting charm. They are well-deserved models of American literature.
