      2、heir fate. This thesis is to explore hisfeminist consciousness embodied in The Scarlet Letter by applying feminist criticaltheories and methodology. Through the analysis of the thesis, especially the characterization of the protagonistHester, we find that Hawthorne has feminist consciousness which is rare in othermale writers. Hester, an adulteress, is cast off in the marginal place of the patriarchalsociety, but Hawthorne purposely put her in the center of his story, endowing herwith a position

      3、 of subjectivity. As to her disobedience and rebellion against themale-dominated society, he offers his great sympathy, and shows his appreciation for her. Hester is depicted as a feminist precursorwhose rebellion and feminist thought bring about some social changes.

      4、ce and value.Key words: Hawthorne; feminism consciousness; Hester摘要纳桑尼尔霍桑是美国文学史上最具影响力的作家之一。他的小说红字使他永葆文坛盛誉。小说以十七世纪清教徒统治下的美国波士顿为背景,以海丝特因通奸被发现而受罚为线索刻画了海丝特这一人物形象并展开对以海丝特为代表的女性人物的内心世界及命运的探索。霍桑作为一个男性作家,由于其独特的家庭、政治、宗教等背景使其在作品中表现出男性作家少有的女性意识。本文将运用女权主义批评理论和方法来揭示霍桑在小说红字中所表现出来的女性意识。通过分析其作品文本尤其对主人公海丝特的刻画,我们发现霍桑在作品中表现出男性作家少有的女性意识。海丝特,作为一个通奸的罪者,被抛在社会的边缘,可是霍桑在其作品中把她放在中心位置,赋予她主体地位。对于海丝特对父权社会的不从和反叛,霍桑表现出极大的同情,同时对海丝特的独特品质表现出欣赏。海丝特被描写成一个具有反叛意识和女权思想的女性,她起到了社会变革的作用。正是由于霍桑的女性意识才使得对反叛女性海丝特的创作获得成功,从而帮助我们更好地了解妇女的生存状况并对妇

This thesis aims touse some feminist critical theories to examine Hawthornes feminist consciousnessreflected in the portrayal of the heroine Hester in The Scarlet Letter. Feminist literarycriticism is a critical approach influenced by Womens Liberation Movement, which has gradually become one of the main streams in the critical world.

      8、y sets up binary oppositions between male and female, subject and object. With the development of feminist movement, feministcritics formed their perspectives on the interpretation of novels by male writers so as toreveal misogyny assumptions which are widely pervasive in their works. Furthermore,feminists point out that the existence of binary oppositions in the society has resulted in theunfair hierarchy.
