霍桑是心理小说的开创者,擅长剖析人的“内心”。他 探讨道德和罪恶的问题。主张通过善行和自忏来洗刷罪 恶、净化心灵,从而得到拯救。他的手法,为后世所推 崇,亨利▪詹姆斯、威廉▪福克纳等无不予以应用。 霍桑认为客观物质世界仅是假象。其“灵性”才是本质 。因此,在他笔下,一草一物都有其象征含义,此手法 为麦尔维尔所效仿,并得到爱伦▪坡的推崇,转而被波德 莱尔进一步发扬,遂开创了现代文学的象征主义诗歌流 派。
霍桑评麦尔维尔:“他既不肯信教,又对自己的不信感到惶 恐不安。”对霍桑同样适用。

3. Hawthorne’s point of view
Hawthorne is influenced by Puritanism deeply. He was not a Puritan himself, but he had Puritan ancestors who played an important role in his life and works. 麦尔维尔: “霍桑描写黑暗的巨大力量,是由于受到加尔文 派关于与生俱来的堕落与原罪思想的影响。没有一位思想 深邃的人能完全摆脱这种思想所发生的各种形式的影响。”
