摘要
《红字》使得美国作家纳撒尼尔·霍桑，一举成名。在这部文学作品中A深刻的象征意义随着作品的发展而不断发生变化.故事刚开始时，故事的主人公海斯特白兰因犯有通奸罪被迫在胸上带上红字A.很明显在这里A是通奸罪的象征,这对于清教徒来说是不可容忍的，因为他们所宣扬和美化的是禁欲主义、劳苦工作、节俭、虔诚以及冷静持重。海斯特出狱后,红字的最初含义被孤独和疏远所取代.后来白兰靠做针线活儿维持生计全心抚养珠儿用自己的双手劳动得来了世人的认可，在这个阶段A渐渐代表能干，而它的不良含义也渐渐变淡。由于白兰在为自己过去的过错赎罪的同时还帮助了别人,在故事的最后，红字A被几乎所有的村民赋予一种全新的含义，即敬佩、和天使。

Scarlet L卡漫人物绘画>游泳初学etter is regarded not only as Haw-thorne＇s greatest accomplishment,but frequently as the greatest novel in American literary history.The ScarletLetter was written and published in the middle of the nineteenth century It aro wide concerns and attracted thousands of millions readers.almost immediately after its publication in 1850, and it has stayed in print and in favor ever since. With the publication of The Scarlet Letter in 1850, Nathaniel Hawthorne became one of the greatest writer at that time and built his reputation as a major American author. Since that time on, people began to take great interest in all aspects of his life and a great many biographical and critical studies had been written about him and his works. He is also becoming more and more popular and familiar with Chine readers,and scholars and readers in this country have shown an ever-increasing interest in his works. iThe Scarlet Letter has been hailed both as the fi
rst symbolic novel and as the first psychological novel(even though it was written before there was a science called psychology). but what really cures the place of the scarlet letter in the literary history is its treatment of human nature, sin, guilt, and pride--all timeless, universal themes--from a uniquely American point of view.
In this novel,Nathaniel Hawthorne applys and underlines skillfully symbol,which marks a great breakthrough in writing method. .ScarletLetter A almost impenetrates the whole story and is also the most typical symbol. in this fiction in light of the plot starting with it as well as ending with it . As Scarlet Letter suggests, the book is about labeling, about the Puritan and later the American desire to eliminate ambiguity, to get the meanings right. The tale shows that even so simple a label as the first letter of the alphabet is full of burgeoning meaning,and this text attaches the importance to four phas,in which letter A express four kinds of entirely different meanings depending .on changing contexts

1.2 Analysis of Puritanism
“Puritanism was entirely English in its origin, yet the movement achieved its greatest influence in America. The 17th century colonies in New England reprent the fullest development of the movement.” Puritanism is the practices and beliefs of the Puritans. The Puritans were originally members of a division of the Protestant Church, who came into existence in the reigns of Queen Elizabeth and King James I. The first Puritans to arrive in America were Separatists. A new group of Separatists fled England in 1607---1609, to the north of Plymouth, in the area around Boston, other Puritans began arriving in 1628---1630. They came over under the auspices of the Massachutts Bay Company, a corporation with rights to the area of land lying between the Charles and the Merrimack rivers.
