作品特点:
描写社会和人性的阴暗面是霍桑作品的突出特点, 这与加尔文教关于人的“原罪”和“内在堕落”的 理论的影响是分不开的。 霍桑是心理小说的开创者,擅长剖析人的“内心”。 他着重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。 然而霍桑并非全写黑暗,他在揭露社会罪恶和人的 劣根性的同时,对许多善良的主人公寄予极大的同 情。

纳撒尼尔·霍桑(NathanielHawthorne)的《通天铁路》

纳撒尼尔•霍桑(Nathaniel Hawthorne)的《通天铁路》这篇附加的小故事是纳撒尼尔•霍桑于1852年在一本名为《雪景和其他故事新编》中发表的。
霍桑,19世纪最伟大的美国作家,以一部经典的英语散文集约翰.班扬John Bunyan 的《天路历程》The Pilgrim’s Progress中的一篇的形式写了《通天铁路》。
约翰.班扬(1628-1688)是一名英国清教徒传教士和作家。
他写了《天路历程》中大部分的文章,但因为在清教徒革命和奥利弗.克伦威尔(Oliver Cromwell)统治结束后随之而来的斯图亚特王朝的复辟时期拒绝使自己顺应官方的英国国教而被投入监狱。
《天路历程》是一部精心制作的宗教寓言。
在寓言中,主角,基督徒,抛弃了他在毁灭之城的生活开始了一段漫长、艰辛的旅途,决心到达天国之城。
他徒步旅行,肩上背负着重担(象征着原罪)。
他穿越了失望沼泽,经由柴门逃离了毁灭之城,经受了许多偏离通往天国之城的正确路线、动摇他信念的诱惑。
陪伴着基督徒的旅途,一位老于世故的先生试图劝阻他,而且由于福音传道者和广心先生的严厉干预,他数次获得了拯救。
他们指引迷茫的基督徒回到通往天国城的道路。
他克服了山峰高耸的困难挑战,用手中的剑打败了残暴的亚玻伦(Apollyon)(精神怀疑的恶魔),穿越了死亡阴影的峡谷,然后在空虚之城停留了一段时间。
在那里基督徒参观了集市和空虚集市的商业中心(以17世纪英格兰的大型夏季商业集市为模型),而那里也有一个同伴。
信徒,见证了一个殉教者的结局。
最终,基督徒成功地避开了托非特(地狱)之火,到达了以色列的土地。
在他渡过死亡河,然后进入天国城之前,这是一个令人愉快的休憩之地。
霍桑的叙事形式代表了一种更新的19世纪中期受班扬影响的美国视角和流行故事。
通天铁路The Celestial Railroad不久前,穿过梦幻的大门,我访问了世界驰名的“灭亡城”所在地,得知最近,一些热心公益的居民出力,在这座人口稠密兴旺发达的城市与“天城”之间,修筑了一条铁路,遂兴致大发。

Psychological and physical struggle
About human’s nature and sociality
eg. When Hester tells him Chillingworth is her husband, he is not brave to face and overcome it, but to sink down on the ground, and burry his face in his hands, he throws his burden upon Hester. “I am powerless to go! ….Lost as my own soul is, I would still do what I may for other human souls! I dare not quit my post…
小说以两百多年前的殖民地时期的美洲为背景,围绕 着四个主人公之间的爱恨、善恶、惩罚与报复而展 开,同时揭露了19世纪资本主义发展时代的美国社 会法典的残酷、宗教的欺骗和道德的虚伪。

这也暗示了他以古喻今的创作意图。但是出于清教徒的审慎, 霍桑采取了浪漫主义小说的创作形式。他认为只有这样,作者 才能才能在“真实的世界”和“仙境”之间找到现实与想象得 以相结合的“中间地带”。
霍桑的伟大正在于他能以表面温和而实质犀利的笔锋暴露黑暗、 讽刺邪恶、揭示真理。
作品特点:
描写社会和人性的阴暗面是霍桑作品的突出特点, 这与加尔文教关于人的“原罪”和“内在堕落”的 理论的影响是分不开的。

¤ Kind
"Dear little pearl, are you willing to kiss me now? That day in the woods you do not want to kiss me! Can you now?"
Pearl kissed his lips. A situation where even her own role is as a great tragedy, aroused the wild child’s compassion.
As Hester says: Old Roger Chillingworth was a striking evidence of man’s faculty(能力) of transforming himself into a devil.
Pearl
¤ Pure
she never cares about what others will think about her, she just live by herself. She is as happy as an ordinary girl, even more than that. She never tries to hate anyone, just considering many as natural and tries to find answers to what’s on her mind.

即使尸骨已经腐烂,但我已经将自己最好的年华奉 献给追求知识的梦想中。
创作理念:
霍桑认为:美国“没有阴影,没有古风,没有秘传,没有绚丽 而又昏默的冤孽,只有光天之下的枯燥乏味的繁荣”,给作家 提供的素材极少。因此,霍桑把注意力转向过去,力图借助想 象去挖掘历史上对创作有益的素材,以便“把过去了的时代与 我们面前一瞬即逝的现在联系起来”。
