Abstract

The Scarlet Letter is representative of Nathaniel Hawthorne’s works. When reading it, readers can not only search for his thoughts and writing skills, but can further look for Hawthorne himself, his personalities, his beliefs and even his experiences. A real Nathaniel Hawthorne is hidden and scattered in every sentence of the novel. Just like Hester Prynne, the protagonist of the novel, Hawthorne is also a contradictory figure. Sharp conflicts can be seen in his religious beliefs, in his hobbies, in his daily life and his writings.
