In an eternal semester’s Anglo-American movie claes, I’ve appreciated many claical novels.What impreed me most is the first movie we watch called the scarlet letter.First, the story begins in seventeenth-century Boston, and that is in a

Puritan settlement.A young woman, Hester Prynne, is led from the town prison with her infant daughter, Pearl in her arms and the scarlet letter “A” on her breast.Hester’s husband, a scholar much older than she is, sent her ahead to America, but he never arrived in Boston.The consensus is that he has been lost at sea.While waiting for her husband, Hester has apparently had an affair, as she has given birth to a child.She will not reveal her lover’s identity.Several years pa.Hester supports herselfby working as a seamstre, and Pearl grows into a willful, impish child.When Dimmesdale acknowledge Hester’s child publicly the other day, a meteor marks a dull red “A” in the night sky.Later Hester removes her scarlet letter and lets down her hair.However, Pearl, playing nearby, does not recognize her mother without the letter.Frustrated in his revenge, Chillingworth dies a year later.Hester and Pearl leave Boston, and no one knows what has happened to them.Many years later, Hester returns alone, still wearing the scarlet letter, to live in her old cottage and

resume her charitable work.She receives occasional letters from Pearl, who has married a European aristocrat and established a family of her own.When Hester dies, she is buried next to Dimmesdale.The two share a single tombstone, which bears a scarlet “A.”

Go through the whole story, we can see a paionate but also strong

woman, Hester Prynne.she endures years of shame and scorn.She equals both her husband and her lover in her intelligence and thoughtfulne.Her alienation puts her in the position to make acute observations about her community,particularly about its treatment of women.We have to say that is a great woman.Then her husband Roger Chillingworth is a self-absorbed and both physically and psychologically monstrous.His single-minded pursuit of retribution reveals him to be the most malevolent character in the novel.While Pearl’s biological father Reverend Arthur Dimmesdale, is an intelligent and emotional man, and his sermons are thus masterpieces of eloquence and persuasivene.His commitments to his congregation are in constant conflict with his feelings of sinfulne and need to confe.The scarlet letter on Hester’s breast is meant to be a symbol of shame, but instead it becomes a powerful symbol of identity to her.Originally it meant adultery;however, at the night when the Governor dies, the letter “A” appearing in the sky is regarded as “Angel” and as Hester gains a strange influence.Some people relate A with “Able”.I like the woman Hester, especially when she would be admitting that the letter is a mark of shame and something from which she desires to escape, Hester refigured the scarlet letter as a symbol of her own experiences and character.She says that her past sin is a part of whom she is;to pretend that it never happened would mean denying a part of herself.Thus, Hester very determinedly integrates her sin into her life.Above all, I was extremely absorbed by the heroine of the scarlet letter.We should treat our own life like she did.However awful things happen, what we need to do is absolutely not to be down but keep positive attitude towards what life have given us.Whatever we are suffering is the very meaningful part of ourselves.We should recognize who we really are and be ourselves at anytime, don’t intend to covey any bad thing you have done.That’s why we exist and what we need to prove to the world that we can indeed handle our unique destiny.
