• W168158465 abstract "Nathaniel Hawthorne's The Scarlet Letter has earned its place in the literary canon precisely because has retained the ability to arouse interest and intellectual discussion even 154 years after its first publication. The beauty of Hawthorne's defining work is that lends itself to contemporary analysis year after year, decade after decade. As each change in society asserts itself, critics look at Hawthorne's The Scarlet Letter with a fresh perspective and find the story ripe with new meaning that is relevant to contemporary society. In fact, a fresh look at and how contributes to the development of her daughter's character, can provide new insights into the role of women in today's society, a role that began to change as early as 1850 when Hawthorne first published The Scarlet Letter. Many critics who focus their analysis on define her as the sin-child, the unholy result of Prynne's and Arthur Dimmesdale's fall from grace, and Hawthorne's way of presenting the letter in another form; the scarlet letter endowed with life (90). As Emily Miller Budick points out: In Hawthorne's novel, the strict authoritarianism of Puritan patriarchy finds its object in the child who, as the living likeness of the letter ... becomes the target of the Puritans' efforts to control both human sexuality, and its literary, historical expression. The Scarlet Letter, in other words, dramatizes a relationship between issues of birth (Whose child is Pearl?) and questions of interpretation (What does the letter mean?). Indeed, one of the ways the text validates the centrality and legitimacy of the community's doubt about the child is by representing as its own investigation into its symbol. (201) The idea that is nothing more than the major of the novel is also seen in Robert Emmet Whelan, Jr.'s Hester Prynne's Little Pearl: Sacred and Profane Love, where he claims, it is the gem on her mother's unquiet bosom, who throughout the tale betrays to the reader ... the passionate love for the minister which Hester, of fearful necessity, takes such great care to hide (490). And the badge of shame upon Hester's breast, along with Pearl, its living counterpart--allegorical emblems as they are of Hester's heart--are intended by Hawthorne to travel through the same range of meanings: 'Adultery,' 'Able,' 'Affection,' and 'Angel' (490). Pearl's function as a living symbol of Hester's adultery, ability, affection, and role as feminine angel, connected to the story only through Hester's heart and emotional acuity, fails to acknowledge Hawthorne's complexity of character development in Pearl. In this analysis, she becomes nothing more than the scarlet letter personified. In another analysis: Pearl, described by Hawthorne as the 'effluence of her mother's lawless passion,' is the 'living emblem' of Hester's guilt not so much because she resembles the scarlet letter, but rather because she embodies what the letter can only represent--the very passions which motivate Hester's transgression, and the sufferings that accompany her punishment (Nudelman 193). Here, becomes nothing more than the face of Hester's guilt. The problem that recurs in analyses such as these is that critics are too quick to dismiss Pearl's integral role in the text, and furthermore, many are in disagreement over what, exactly, the scarlet letter represents. Trying to define as merely a symbolic element becomes an endless circle of ambiguity that leaves unexplored as a significant character in the text. However, when critics endow with various other functions, symbolic or not, and acknowledge her central place within the text, her true role is expanded. Chester E. Eisinger, in his 1951 article Pearl and the Puritan Heritage, argues that is a symbol of natural liberty, perverse and willful, consulting her own impulses and following them wherever conflicts arose. …" @default.
