Hester＇s libidinal energy was channeled into socially approved activities in her self-devoted years that made up her identity and reality. The scarlet letter ceased to be a stigma which once attracted the world＇s scorn and bitterness, later looked upon with reverence, and transformed into a thing to be sorrowed over. She had not ignored a large part of reality of her life （the past and present）. If she ignored her past she would entirely detach it from the present. She integrated her stigma into her life in the continual process of self-making, and thereby projecting herself into the future展开更多

Hawthorne points out that the suffering and agony of the characters in The scarlet letter is due to an ill-conceived marriage. At the same time Hawthorne lightens the story in that he invents his own moral dimension of marriage and adultery and suggests that marriage should be based on the communion of the souls.展开更多

I argue that unlike their nineteenthcentury literary precedents, these stories promote a positive view of desire, of selfrealization and self-fulfillment. They subtly denounce guilt and shame and instead focus on the adulteress＇ inner rebellions, struggles, and calculations. Munro＇s choice of highlights and temporal rearrangement stand out to enchant her readers. I discuss in turn the psychological transformation of the adulteresses facilitated by their doubles, the residual memory beyond real and dishonest remorse, and their urge for self-realization, ending with a summarizing conclusion.展开更多
