字母 A 的象征意义

笑笑%
在小说中,字母“A”是最典型的象征,其中包含無穷的含义,在小说发展的不同阶段,字母“A”也具有不同的象征含义。首先,在故事的一开始,“A”象征“通奸”(Adultery),代表着海丝特与牧师丁梅斯代尔之间被社会唾弃和鄙视的不伦爱情。为了赎罪,海丝特一直佩戴着红字“A”,独自而坚强地承受着来自社会的唾骂和谴责,也在无时无刻地提醒着海丝特这份耻辱和不堪。

    First, the scarlet letter A stands for Adultery, that is, adultery. The protagonist Hester Prynne and the young priest Dimmesdale committed adultery and gave birth to a child. In order to protect the priest, Hester took the sin alone and was "revealed" for three hours. And was punished for wearing the red sign A.

    Second, the scarlet letter A stands for Able, that is, ability. Hester lived alone in a place far away from the crowd, putting all her only love on her child Pearl, who supported her family by sewing. At this time A stands for Hester's ability: viability and superb craftsmanship.

    Third, the scarlet letter A stands for Angel, that is, angels. Hester did not bear a grudge because she was looked down upon, but was eager to help others. Later, because of her virtue, people thought that A was a symbol of beauty.

    From another point of view, the scarlet letter A has other meanings. Corresponding to Hester's red A sign is the Reverend Dimmesdale, who has been tortured because of his inner sins, and it can be said that the A he wears is invisible, spiritual, and physical.

    In fact, every character in the book wears an A, the "righteous one" living in New England, and they propose to punish Hester with A, who is the maker of A; the onlookers are the bystanders of A; Hester's husband is a "morally corrupt man", he is A's explorer; and Pearl, the gift of nature, is A's sin and savior. So, A stands for the whole of the United States (AMERICA)
