Hawthorne‟s “The Minister‟s Black Veil” is regarded as one of the earliest and greatest American short stories. Like many of Hawthorne‟s stories, this story i s developed around a single symbol: the black veil that the Reverend Mr. Hoo per wears to hide his face from the world. The nature of secret sin and huma ns‟ fallen nature are the main theme. Hawthorne‟s intended meaning with the t ale has been the subject of considerable debate.. Some critics note that “Mr. H ooper is the type of the abnormal, who has lost the power of seeing life stead ily and whole”.They think the sin - crazed Hooper himself is “to outward gaze the gentlest si nful of men” and “his mistaken notion about the nature of evil prompt him to attempt the salvation of his fellow men by a method which seriously endange rs his own salvation.” Critic William Bysshe Stein in 1955 even considered H ooper an antichrist. As to such kind of claims, I find it hard to agree. Even t hough Mr. Hooper fails to fulfill his responsibilities as a minister well, there i s no evidence to show he deserves to be called an antichrist for he hasn‟t don e anything against the will of the holy Jesus. It‟s true that Hooper fixes his e yes on the townspeople, hoping to help them expose their sins. But he cannot be defined as sin - crazed for this reason. The American author Nathaniel Ha wthorne had an intricate relationship with the tradition of American Puritanism, with which both he and his Puritan ancestors were imbued in character and i n belief, and yet his representative work The Scarlet Letter has always receive d an all-too-simple, one-dimensional critical response from most Chinese reader s and critics, rendering it a bitter demonstration of and outright protest against the dehumanizing role of Puritan ethics and, by extension, that of Christian et hics in general. This paper attempts at a new reading of this much-misinterpreted work. By analyzing the novel‟s dominant themes, the development of its m ajor characters, the narrative voice, and even its honest criticism of the Puritan community, this paper is intended to reveal that, instead of assailing the Chris tian ethics, the novel expresses what is central to the ethical values based on t he Christian Scripture: the universality of sin and guilt in spite of their various disguise, and the pity on and redemption of the human individuals as well as communities equally enslaved by sin.The sin Mr. Hooper committedMr.Hooper‟s deathbed remarks show that he intends the black veilto symbolize the secret sin which all men “loathsomely treasure up”in their he arts. That he intended himself to typify mankind‟s evil nature is clear enough, but the reason why he thought himself evil is not so clear.We may infer from Hooper‟s presence at the funeral on that Sunday that perhaps he is responsi ble for the death of the young lady, because “at the inst ant when the clergyman‟s features were disclosed, the corpse hadslightly shuddered”. But in fact,“a superstitious old woman was the only witnes s of this prodigy”. A couple of people said they saw “t he ministerand the maiden‟s spirit were walking hand in hand.”But this is justtheir fantasy and no other evidence can support it. It‟s reasonable tothink these words are used to add a little bit of mystery which is typicalof Hawthorne‟s writing feature. Provided Hooper‟s hidden sin is true, his action of still coming to this funeral reflects his sufficient courage and a since re wish of repentance. He is so repentant that this incident becomes a turning point of his destiny forcing him to wear a black veil to confess his previous s in for the rest of life. His firm resolution shows his valuable honesty which ahypocrite does not possess. Everyone has a secret sin or sorrow of one type or other. Mr. Hooper has chosen to make his black veil visible while others h ave kept their secrets in their own hearts. His quick response to mend what h e had done is admirable and as a faithful messenger of God.II. Unity of the hero‟s personalityWhile many readers may view Mr. Hooper as a weak coward with asense of superiority and imbalance of mind, I prefer to see him as a remarkable man of integrity, bravery, responsibility and dignity. Prior to and af ter his wearing the black veil, his individuality does not change.Firstly he is a minister with good appearance. He is consistently gentleand neatly dressed as if taken care of by a careful wife. Secondly, hetakes a stable responsibility for his religious faith and he is competent for his job. He achieves success in both his career and his life: “He acquired a name throughout the New- England churches, and they called himFather Hooper ⋯he had one congregation in the church, and a more crowded one in the church- yard.”Mr. Hooper has gained true love from Elizabeth as w ell as a good or even true friend, Reverend Mr. Clark who cares about Hoope r and rides in haste to pray by the bed - side of the expiring Hooper. Mr. Ho oper is a revolutionary man. He does not yield to hardships regardless of the bitter misunderstanding from the multitude nor did he submit to fate. As Hoop e r lies dying, he still refuses to lift the black veil: “On Earth, never! ”I view this utterance as the maintenance of fulfilling his ministerial duties till the last breath.On the contrary, it is motivated by his hope for peace of mind in the after - life: “It is but a mortalveil—it is not for eternity! ”We must take special notice of Mr.Hooper‟s smile. The minister‟s smile is mentioned eight times and is associated with the light image. In four passages it is described as glimmering or gleaming. From the smile - light association, we can infer that the smile betokens Hooper…s ties with his fellow men and his hold on his own sanity. It indicates that he has not been completely enveloped by the terrifying black veil which has multiplied his doubts about his own salvation.教长的黑面纱一:作者纳撒尼尔·霍桑(NathanieIHawthorne,1804-1864),美国浪漫主义小说家。
校园英语 / 文艺研究哥特小说简述辽宁师范大学/关敏【摘要】哥特小说是黑暗和恐怖的代名词。
不论是幽暗的古堡,破败的自然景象,性格扭曲的主人公,还是离奇可怕的故事情节,都给人的感官和心理造成巨大冲击,回环曲折的故事引人入胜,让读者欲罢不能,给人留下不可磨灭的印象。
本文将对哥特小说作简要概述,从哥特小说的起源和发展历程介绍哥特小说兴起的经过;并以《厄舍古屋的倒塌》——这一经典的哥特短篇小说为例,简要分析其中的哥特元素及其艺术表现形式,深刻感受哥特小说的魅力。
【关键词】哥特小说 产生 发展 爱伦·坡《厄舍古屋的倒塌》一、哥特小说的产生哥特小说(Gothic Fiction)诞生于18世纪后半叶,它的产生与英国传统的历史文化紧密相连。
它的故事情节跌宕起伏、惊险刺激,带有暴力或者悬疑的成分,有时甚至会牵涉到超自然的灵力。
追逃、凶杀、邪灵附体是哥特小说常见的元素,小说的场景大多设置在中世纪的古堡、荒郊野外的废宅以及都市中的穷街陋巷等远离光明的场所,借以营造恐怖而神秘的气氛。
哥特小说中的“哥特”(Gothic)一词,最初指的是哥特人——日耳曼人的分支。
公元5世纪,哥特人曾攻陷罗马城,盛极一时。
然而,其内部矛盾重重,纠纷不断,加上东罗马帝国的连续追击,哥特民族迅速衰落,最终消逝于滚滚历史之中。
哥特人野蛮彪悍,使得古代文明的象征——罗马帝国山河破碎,因此这个入侵文明世界的北方蛮族在欧洲人的文化意识中被定格为古典文明的颠覆者,是“原始”、“野蛮”、“血腥”、“粗鄙”的象征。
“哥特”一词也被赋予了黑暗、蛮夷、与主流文化对立的文化含义。
12世纪开始,“哥特”一词与建筑联系在一起,重回人们的视野。
中世纪的欧洲弥漫着浓重的天主教气氛,至高无上的神权是这个时代的主题。
为了与上帝的精神形成契合,欧洲的教堂出现了新的建筑风格:为了无限地接近上帝,人们将教堂建得高耸入云,古罗马式的厚重的圆顶建筑只得被肋拱、飞扶壁托起的尖顶建筑取代;骨感的建筑外壁让人望而生畏;光线透过大幅的彩色玻璃花窗,营造出神秘、奇幻的气氛,一幅幅玻璃花窗生动地再现了圣经故事,起到了教化百姓的作用。
观望人群的人作者:唐臻娜来源:《考试周刊》2012年第95期摘要:纳撒尼尔·霍桑是美国19世纪重要的作家,其作品具有丰富的意蕴和广阔的阐释空间。
本文对霍桑作品中的孤独主题进行了深入解读,剖析了作品中孤独人物的形象,揭示了霍桑对清教主义的矛盾思想,对信仰危机的关注,探讨了霍桑作品中孤独主题的现代意义。
关键词:霍桑清教主义孤独主题信仰危机1.引言19世纪美国文坛上呈现出以霍桑、爱伦·坡和梅尔维尔为代表的“三足鼎立”的态势。
梅尔维尔曾这样评论霍桑:“(他)灵魂中的一面笼罩着阳光,而另一面则完全被黑暗包裹,十倍的黑暗。
”霍桑的作品具有丰富的意蕴、深刻的洞见和广阔的阐释空间,其被誉为美国浪漫主义文学的宗师。
霍桑的童年经历和家庭宗教背景令他形成了孤独、远离尘嚣的性格,这样的性格自然影响到他的创作,他的许多作品都表达了孤独的主题,笔者接下来将做详细论述与探讨。
2.孤独的沉思者霍桑出生成长于美国马萨诸塞州的塞勒姆镇,一个清教氛围极其浓厚的地区。
霍桑4岁丧父,由母亲在外公家抚养长大。
外公家笃信清教的阴沉压抑的氛围伴随幼小霍桑的成长,在他内心打下不可磨灭的烙印。
“霍桑是个思想情感十分复杂的人,他自幼就沉默寡言,不愿更多与人交往,不喜欢热闹场合。
童年时的孤独和不幸在塑造他成年后的个性过程中留下了深深的烙印,留下了一种难以摆脱的痛苦和孤独感。
”[1]“1825年从博多因学院毕业后,立志于创作的霍桑进入了长达12年的…幽室‟隐居期,这是他阅读、思考和艺术探索的重要阶段。
……这一经历对于他作品中关于孤独、隔绝和人类纽带联系的思考有一定的影响。
”[2]后来霍桑进了“布鲁克农庄”——按傅里叶的共产主义模式创办起来的合作农场,霍桑与超验主义思想的人交往,但之后由于对超验主义的怀疑而离开。
尽管霍桑成年后的生活并非捉襟见肘,婚姻也不错,然而孤独的性格始终伴随着他,他的这种性格令他在他所属的那个欢欣雀跃的时代显得格格不入,然而,也正是这样的性格使他保持清醒的头脑,在孤独的沉思中写下传世的作品揭示清教主义的局限与人性的善恶美丑。
