generation lives into the successive ones, and that evil will come out of evil though it may take many generations to happen. The House of the Seven Gables 3) The tension between the head (intellect) and the heart (warmth and feeling) constitutes one of the elements which make his writings enchanting. Intellectual characters are usually villains, dreadful because devoid of fellow feeling. It reflects Hawthorne's negative attitude toward science and skepticism to the development of industrialization which may result in dehumanization. 4) Most of his stories described an individual who isolated from the crowd, and the individual subjectivity against the crowd.

Hawthorne (1804-1864)
1. Birth and Career Nathaniel Hawthorne was born on July 4th, 1804 in Salem,
Massachusetts. When he got married, he moved to Concord and lived there for several years with his wife. His writing was influenced both by the history of his ancestors and the views of transcendentalists. Some of his ancestors were prominent men in the Puritan theocracy of seventeenth-century New England. One was a colonial magistrate who played a part in the notorious persecution of the Quakers. And another one was a judge at the Salem Witchcraft Trial in 1692. Hawthorne was intensely aware of the misdeeds of his Puritan ancestors, and this awareness led to his understanding of evil being at the core of human life which later was expressed in his short stories and novels.
Hawthorne (1804-1864)
the Salem Witchcraft Trials were a series of
hearings and prosecutions of people accused of witchcraft in colonial Massachusetts, between February 1692 and May 1693. In half a year, more than 150 people were sentenced to be witches and 19 were executed before it was stopped and rectified. 阿瑟·米勒的剧本 《萨勒姆的女巫》 (The Crucible)
