摘　　要：霍桑小说《红字》虽然不是一部研究道德哲学的著作,但却是一部反思自己祖先宗教信仰,表达自己宗教态度的作品。他在作品中塑造的主人公海丝特·白兰是一个具有"真正的人性"的人,即"罪与赎统一"的"完全人性"之人。对于这样一个天使般的人却遭受自己祖先无情的迫害,作家道德良知让他不能不承担为这样一个天使般的女子鸣不平的道德责任。虽然,作者从始至终没有一句对主人公海丝特与当地牧师阿瑟·丁梅斯代尔相爱生女之事做出明确的道德评价,但字里行间却渗透着作家深沉、繁复的思想命意,彰显着作家对宗教、对人生复杂的情感,宣泄着作家不可遏制的创作激情,也高扬了作品丰沛的美学理想。Hawthorne's"The Scarlet Letter"is not a novel about moral philosophy, but one reflecting the ancestral belief and the writer's religious attitude. The heroine Hester Prynne created by Hawthorne is a"perfect"human being, who was cruelly persecuted. This kind of persecution is what the writer cannot put up with, and his duty is to seek justice for Hester. Though he doesn't make any moral comment in his novel, Hawthorne depicts his complicated feelings to religion and life by means of his creative words and aesthetical images.
