摘　　要：根据一些女权主义批评理论,霍桑的女权主义意识促使他在《红字》中塑造了一个反叛女性。在《红字》中,霍桑将这种意识融入到了他描绘的反派女主人公海斯特的内心世界。霍桑通过揭示海斯特的社会边缘地位,反映了在清教社会中普遍存在的厌女意识。霍桑还谴责那种源于男权意识对妇女不平等的待遇。为了恢复女性的主体性地位,霍桑通过他的故事情节和对男女主人公的描写,彻底毁灭了男权文化中的双重对立理念。Following some feminist critical theories the writer argues that it is his feminist consciousness that prometes Hawthorne to create a rebellious woman in The Scarlet Letter. In The Scarlet Letter, Hawthorne interweaves such consciousness into the portrayals of a rebellious female charaeter, Hester. By diselosing Hester＇ s marginalized status, Hawthorne shows that misogyny universally exists in a Puritan patriarchy and he eondemns the unfair treatment of women, which stems from male-dominated ideology. In order to regain women＇ s position of subjeetivity, Hawthorne subverts the eoneeption of binary apposition of man and woman in the male-dominated eulture by eonstrueting the plot of his story and depleting his female and male eharaeters.
