纳撒尼尔·霍桑是美国19世纪最伟大的浪漫主义小说家。他的作品深受清教主义的“原罪说”影响,经常探讨人性之恶这一主题,揭示社会和人性的阴暗面。由于霍桑深处资本主义经济和科学技术迅猛发展时期,他也十分关注科技的发展与人和自然之间的关系。《拉帕齐尼的女儿》是霍桑最具影响力的短篇小说之一。本文将以这部小说为例,探析霍桑的罪恶观和科技观。
Nathaniel Hawthorne is America’s greatest romantic novelist in the 19th century. His work is deeply influenced by Puritanism’s “theory of sin” and frequently explores the theme of evil in human nature to reveal the dark side of society and human nature. Due to the rapid development of the capitalist economy and science and technology in Hawthorne, he also paid great attention to the development of science and technology and the relationship between man and nature. Rapapuini’s Daughter is one of Hawthorne’s most influential short stories. This article will take this novel as an example to probe into Hawthorne’s views of sin and science and technology.
