众文网1.我的毕业论文是:《红字》中象征意义的总结,现在要写开题报告了,
《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”。

一直都写她的默默忍受方面的Hawthorne makes Hester a heroin and survives to a tranquil old age just by expiating her offence. She wore the scarlet letter A, somewhat willingly, for the purpose of confessing her sin, of meditating and of reforming herself. On this point, Mark Van Doren's comments about Hester, in my interpretation, agree with Hawthorne's original intention. Doren said that she is “heroic in size and strength…Although she came to be Puritanism's victim, she never surrendered the integrity of her soul. Neither did she complain of her fate. Her fate was to waste her life, yet we do not feel in the end that her life was wasted. Rather it is known, she is immortal.”⒄ Each Character has a secret sin that he or she wishes to confess and each of those sins affects the character that committed that sin as well as other characters in the story.。
