Abstract

The novel The Scarlet Letter by the American writer Nathaniel Hawthorne is considered one of the largest and deepest novels that American literature has ever produced in its history, as it belongs to that type of literature that reveals the new man and his relationship to his environment and the beginnings of his confrontation with social controls and pressures and also belongs directly in its spirit and content to a literature that sees that what is shackled Man and his freedom are not laws and rules, but society itself, which will not be discovered on a large scale until a century or more after the issuance of that novel, which still practices its great magic to this day, and therefore the novel seemed to be a deep look at ancient America and its ethics. The novel expresses the clash between the past and the present in more ways than one. The term scarlet letter is used to refer to anything that can describe a human being in any way, for many years after the release of the novel. The Nazis’ use of the yellow star to refer to the Jews was a form of the scarlet letter in the 1930’s and 1940’s. Government attempts to grant a specific license to manufacture marks for criminals were also a use of it. This usage directly refers to the scarlet A that the protagonist was wearing. This is a distinct form of punishment. The punishment for the scarlet letter is that it is a sign that) stays forever, introducing all people to one’s sin, and increases the person’s torment through the inability to flee his past crimes. A person cannot stay away from his past, and thus the scarlet letter prevents a person from healing past mistakes. It is said that the purpose of the scarlet letter is to protect the public, but in fact it aims to increase the torment of the sinner. In the United States, individual freedom stemmed from the independence movement, and thus any diminution of one’s freedom of movement, actual, or personality is exaggerated and frightening. The term is always used to denote the public’s perception of one’s privacy, and it has been phrased for good purposes. In fact, it is used to demean the freedom of those who bear this symbol. Hawthorne has mixed feelings about the role of his ancestors in his life. Hawthorne described his ancestors in his autobiography as gloomy, bearded, sable, wore steel crowns, and abusive, as their bad deeds erased their good deeds. There is little doubt about Hawthorne’s contempt for this puritanical morality and its rigor. He imagined his predecessors seeing him and their contempt for him: I am considered unsuccessful in their eyes, and I have no value and shame. ”Just a storybook writer!” Despite his disagreement with his predecessors, Hawthorne feels an innate bond between him and them, and their intolerance and inhumanity remain the subject of his novels. The letter in question demonstrates Nathaniel Hawthorne’s skill in using verbal cues, linguistic implications, and verbal events to spread his message in a distinctive linguistic stylistic manner.
