摘要
作为19世纪杰出的美国的浪漫主义作家,霍桑自幼生活在一个清教徒家庭并深受清教徒意识的影响。在作家的整个创作生涯中,无论是在其短篇小说还是长篇力作中都渗透着浓郁的宗教意识和作家复杂、矛盾的宗教观。前期创作的著名短篇小说《好小伙布朗》揭露批判了偏执僵化、虚伪自私、残酷冷漠的清教思想及道德准则,当然也充满了作家身上无法抹去的那种人人皆有罪的清教意识以及在此意识下产生的不能相信任何人,要怀疑一切的清教思想。后期创作的优秀长篇力作《红字》,对虚伪的加尔文教清教主义及其伦理道德进行了有力地抨击,但女主人公以真诚和勇气得到救赎以及男主人公在秘密的自责中获得解脱仍然渗透着浓郁的宗教意识。
Nathaniel Hawthorne,an outstanding romantic American writer in the 19th century,was brought up in a typical puritan family and was soaked in Puritanism.Hawthorne＇s complicated and contradictory religious views find expression in all his works.His early short story Young Good Man Brown criticizes the stubborn,cruel and hypocritical puritan ideas and criteria,and reveals his own understanding of sin in Puritanism.His masterpiece The Scarlet Letter launches an attack on the puritan ideas and ethics of Calvinism but it till has rich religious implications which find expression in the heroine＇s redemption through bravery and sincerity and the hero＇s relief through self-reproach.
