主 题:dimension marriage adultery
摘 要:The story The scarlet letter happened in the later seventeenth century by Hawthorn, when the Puritans had declined in morality. Hawthorne points out that the suffering and agony of the characters in The scarlet letter is due to an ill-conceived marriage. At the same time Hawthorne lightens the story in that he invents his own moral dimension of marriage and adultery and suggests that marriage should be based on the communion of the souls.
