Abstract

 

The Scarlet Letter, written by Nathaniel Hawthorne, is one of the most well-known romantic novels in American literature of the nineteenth century. And the unprecedented use of symbolism in the book keeps its unique position in American literature. Symbolism is a kind of writing skill that bestows the specific objects with profound and abstract meanings. Hawthorne is regarded as the pioneer of using symbolism in literature. He is significant as a romantic writer; his work reveals the moral isolation with the individual isolated from the community and shows the effect of the hidden sin and secret guilt. This paper mainly focuses on the analysis of the aesthetic functions of symbolism, combined with The Scarlet Letter by Hawthorne. And it will also emphasize the symbolic meanings of the scarlet letter A based on the novel.

 

Key words: The Scarlet Letter, Hawthorne, symbolism, sin, characterization
