American novelist and short story writer Nathaniel Hawthorne's (1804–1864) writing centers on New England, many works featuring moral allegories with a Puritan inspiration. Hawthorne has also written a few poems which many people are not aware of. His works are considered to be part of the Romantic movement and, more specifically, Dark romanticism. His themes often centre on the inherent evil and sin of humanity, and his works often have moral messages and deep psychological complexity.

Download or read book Hawthorne s Short Stories written by Nathaniel Hawthorne and published by Vintage. This book was released on 2011-01-11 with total page 450 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Twenty-four of the best short stories by one of the early masters of the form, in the definitive collection edited by acclaimed scholar Newton Arvin. Nathaniel Hawthorne was one of the greatest American writers of the nineteenth century, and some of his most powerful work was in the form of fable-like tales that make rich use of allegory and symbolism. The dark beauty and moral force of his imagination are evident in such enduring masterpieces as "Young Goodman Brown," in which a young man who believes he has witnessed a satanic initiation can never see his pious neighbors the same way again; “Rappaccini's Daughter," about a lovely young girl who has been raised in isolation among dangerous poisons; and "The Birthmark," in which a scientist obsessed with perfection destroys the flaw that makes his otherwise flawless wife both beautiful and human.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Hollow of the Three Hills (+Biography and Bibliography) (Glossy Cover Finish): In those strange old times, when fantastic dreams and madmen's reveries were realized among the actual circumstances of life, two persons met together at an appointed hour and place. One was a lady, graceful in form and fair of feature, though pale and troubled, and smitten with an untimely blight in what should have been the fullest bloom of her years; the other was an ancient and meanly-dressed woman, of ill-favored aspect, and so withered, shrunken, and decrepit, that even the space since she began to decay must have exceeded the ordinary term of human existence. In the spot where they encountered, no mortal could observe them.
Download or read book Biblical Allusions in The Scarlet Letter by Nathaniel Hawthorne written by Annika Zöpf and published by GRIN Verlag. This book was released on 2020-02-18 with total page 12 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Essay from the year 2019 in the subject English Language and Literature Studies - Comparative Literature, University of Stuttgart, language: English, abstract: There are many examples and different perspectives of human conditions and experiences to be found in the Bible which give depth to a vast amount of Literature. Hawthorne’s work "The Scarlet Letter" is full of biblical symbols, reverences and up to whole storylines that seem to be very similar to one another. Especially because the "Legal metaphor that runs all through the Bible, [...] sees a man [or in this case a woman] as under a trial and subject to judgement" is also the topic of Hawthorne ́s book. The use of biblical allusions allowed him to connect deeper with his audience because they were intimately familiar with the bible at that time and add more meaning to his story. To take a look at how he used these allusions and what effect they might have had on the reader, this essay will break down the main connections of "The Scarlet Letter" and the Bible in order of general events that are similar to the specific symbols used.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Seminar paper from the year 2009 in the subject American Studies - Culture and Applied Geography, grade: 1, 0, University of Frankfurt (Main), language: English, abstract: In discussions about Nathaniel Hawthorne's The Scarlet Letter much attention has been given to the question what the -A-, which the sinful heroine Hester Prynne was ordered by the magistrates of the Puritan society to wear on her bosom, means. Scholars like Michael Pringle have concluded that the emblem of sin can be interpreted in manifold ways, from A for -adulteress- to A for -angel-. This diagnosis indicates that the meaning of the symbol A changes during the course of the plot. However, not so much attention has been given to that process of change and to the symbol as a strong instrument of power to determine social discourse. This study will deal with the question of symbolic power in The Scarlet Letter, or, to be more precise: How does Hester change the meaning of the A, which originally has been forced upon her to stigmatize her clearly as sinner and in this way to exclude her from the rest of the society, in such a manner to her own benefit that it is turned upside down? What does that imply for the power-relationship between sinful individual and patriarchal society? Since the different actors (Hester, magistrates, common people) develop different attitudes towards the symbol, every single view must be analyzed individually to hint at least roughly at the diverse readings of the letter. Particularly, Hester's illegitimate daughter Pearl as the -living symbol- of her sin is an important part of the analysis, because she - by her own reading of the letter - serves throughout the novel as a reminder of sin and guilt. One major question that follows is whether Pearl replaces the original function of the letter and thus restrains the symbolic power Hester gains by changing the meaning of the A. Method: The first part should deal with the definition of symbols in their cultural respe
