Review

The Scarlet Letter is a shocking work, and the author nathaniel hawthorne reveals the complexity of human nature and the ambiguity of morality with his exquisite brushwork. Centered on the heroine Hester Prynne, the novel tells that she is punished for her love, but she faces social condemnation with indomitable spirit. The red A is not only a symbol of her adultery, but also a symbol of her brave and independent spirit. Hawthorne explored the conflicts among desire, love, faith and social norms through rich symbols and metaphors. This work is not only a literary masterpiece, but also a psychological and moral fable that profoundly reveals human nature.
