Hester Prynne: Boston settler who commits adultery and bears a child while awaiting the arrival of her husband from Europe.Authorities require her to wear a piece of red cloth in the shape of an A(standing for adulteress)on the bodice of her dress to identify her as a sinner.She refuses to identify her partner in sin.Hester is named after the title character of an Old Testament book.In that book, Esther–a Jew who marries the King of Persia, Ahasuerus(Xerxes I)–and her cousin Mordecai persuade the king to spare the lives of Jews previously singled out for annihilation.The Jewish festival of Purim, also called the Feast of Lots, celebrates their deliverance from the Persian sword.Pearl: Hester’s child.As her name suggests, she is something good that came from sin.She is also a constant reminder–to Hester and to the townspeople–of Hester's sinfulness.At times, she is an unruly child, a burden to her mother.But Hester loves her just the same

第五篇：紅字讀后感

紅字讀后感

這是一部比那些大部頭小說顯得短小的多的長篇小說，但它同樣具有大部頭小說所具有的震撼人心的效果，以及高超的藝術(shù)造詣，堪稱經(jīng)典名著中的典范作品。

這是一部關(guān)于靈魂的小說，每個人都有自己的靈魂，但有的人維護著靈魂，有的人損害著靈魂，有的人丟失了靈魂，于是這個世界充滿了千姿百態(tài)的人生和人的故事。

主人公海斯特·白蘭胸前佩戴著烙有靈魂恥辱的紅字——大大的一個A。在倍受折磨的道德鞭笞下，進行著靈魂的救贖。但她是一個不屈于命運的女人，在她的一生中充滿了對命運的蔑視。她懷疑這世俗道德的合理性，但同時又矛盾的意識到靈魂的邪-惡，人性的復(fù)雜可見一斑。這種宗教的感情糾葛，對于沒有宗教信仰的人來說很難理解，我就是這樣一個無法理解的人。宗教已經(jīng)是西方人生活的一部分，離開宗教的生活，一定是很痛苦的。但我沒有宗教經(jīng)驗，所以根本無法體會主人公的心理。這也是我理解小說的障礙，但我卻是沒辦法去克服。

小說還表達了人要獲得自由和解放就要去斗爭的思想，這在海斯特·白蘭的身上得到了體現(xiàn)，她一直抗拒著悲慘的命運，心里充滿了對美好生活的向往，充滿了無私的愛，這是難能可貴的一種精神。因為這樣她才成為一個高尚的人，受到了人們的尊敬，從而洗刷了身上的恥辱，而那個紅字也成了高尚的象征。在這里作家是和傳統(tǒng)道德做著挑戰(zhàn)，他把世俗道德拿出來進行了解剖，讓讀者不得不重新審視我們道德標準的合理性，以及其中最見不得人的陰暗面。這就是這部名著最耀眼的地方和流芳轉(zhuǎn)載自百分網(wǎng)http://轉(zhuǎn)載請注明出處，謝謝！

每個階段讀它都會有不同的感覺，年少懵懂的讀，以及現(xiàn)在似有感悟的讀。心中的紅字，其實是一種精神上的暗示與壓力。我想，或多或少每個人心里都有各自的紅字吧。當我們做了一些不該做的，就一定會有一個正義的聲音提醒我們——這是不對的。然后就不斷會有良心的煎熬，于是有一些罪犯就會自首，甚至為自己所做的感到羞愧甚至自盡。那難道就不是心中的紅字在起作用嗎?

《紅字》是納撒尼爾(1804~1864年)于19世紀中所創(chuàng)作的一部長篇小說。在這部小說中，霍桑除了對人性的脆弱與悲傷進行深入的探討，并且融入了影響他個人極為深遠的清教徒遺傳，深刻剖析罪的意識對身心靈的影響、尖銳地批判已經(jīng)淪為形式主義的清教精神、探討個人在自由與權(quán)威中的矛盾掙扎。故事表面上看來只是在敘述一個簡單的浪漫愛情故事(這不難理解，因為《紅字在山的那邊讀后感》的副標題叫做“A Romance”)，但它的主題卻是學(xué)者們一直以來爭議的對象。當我在研究這本歷經(jīng)那么多批評或贊賞的書，絕對領(lǐng)悟到一點就是不能僅僅停留于對《紅字》文本的闡釋上，要將霍桑的創(chuàng)作置于西方歷史性問題的大視域中來加以分析它的主題。這樣才能證明霍桑是19世紀美國文學(xué)界最杰出的文學(xué)家。

《紅字》一開始，作者就寫下這樣一段話: “新殖民地的締造者們，不論他們原先可能會規(guī)劃出什么人類美德和幸福的一個烏托邦，都一定會認識到，他們最初的實際需要之一，就是劃出一部分處女地作為墓地，再劃出另一部分作為監(jiān)獄的地基。”作者以宏觀的視角透露出17世紀美國殖民統(tǒng)治時期的社會背景。我們從《紅字》里看到的卻是另一個景象。普林和羅杰才是得到社會道德法律規(guī)范的認可的。與自然相愛的人一起生活會被社會感恩老師讀后感所擯棄，而為一個名義上是丈夫的人守節(jié)，生活在孤獨中卻被社會承認，這正是不合理的社會規(guī)條所造成的不文明現(xiàn)象。普林無法掙脫命運的擺布，她根本就不可能靠自己的力量逃脫宗教精神牢籠的禁錮。如果說普林能自己選擇的話，她一定會追隨丁梅斯代爾，而不是羅杰?？上]有人會尊重這樣子的選擇，不管她是一開始就說出真相也好，生完了小珠兒才說也好，都不會得到肯定，甚至還要加以懲罰?？梢姰敃r的清教教規(guī)是多么的虛偽啊!假如神是充滿慈愛的，身為跟隨他的教徒也應(yīng)該是以愛和寬容來拯救普林的靈魂，而不是將她推到千里之外，更不應(yīng)該將她的罪行公告天下。作者在表達他對赫絲特& #8226;普林的同情時，給那象征恥辱的紅色的A字(Adultery:通奸女 犯)賦予了新的象征意義。紅色正是代表著赫絲特愛國的書,普林和丁梅斯代爾抑制不住青春的沖動和愛慕對方的心，紅色也象征了生命、力量和熱情。無情的教徒卻把青春的熱情之火給撲滅了。

雖然在世人的眼中普林是因為觸犯了清教法規(guī)的第七戒，被制定為通奸罪而須在胸前顯眼的位置縫上一個紅色大寫字母“A”。她的敢于承擔責任的形象跟牧師丁梅斯代爾懦弱、憂郁、整天神經(jīng)兮兮的形象成了一個極大的對比。波士頓的人們?yōu)樗厍暗摹癆”字起了另一個解釋---Able，說“紅字是她職業(yè)的象征”，“意味著‘能干’。作為一位女性，而且她背負著那么沉重”的負擔，她仍能靠著自己的力量得到別人的認同，這實在是一件了不起的事情。我認為珠兒是該小說的最高主題，珠兒的象征意義就是霍桑的整個愛情觀，亦即:愛情是神圣，寶貴，美好的，它遵循的只是自然法則，而不應(yīng)用虛偽的社會法則來只有一個地球讀后感禁錮或扼殺愛情。

霍桑在二百年前寫下的作品，在今天看來除了它的爭議性，我也看到了它的先進性。直到今天，《紅字》主題之深刻和它超強的藝術(shù)感染力，絲毫沒有退減。它超越了時代，是不朽的作品。另外，我認同Claudia Durst Johnson對《紅字》的看法，她說，“每個人都同時擁有罪惡的和天使的，陰沉的和快樂的，自私的和愛別人的真性情?！蔀檎鎸嵉摹囊馑季褪橇私獾狡鋵嵨覀兠總€人都戴著一個紅字”是的，紅字不只是罪名，它是罪的象征。而有些人的“罪”是表露在外的，有些人的“罪”是隱藏的?？傊热弧白铩币汛嬖诿總€人的心里，認清自己而追求真實的自我，勇于反省和自我檢討，對未來的生活充滿憧憬，這些就是我看完《紅字》的領(lǐng)悟。

關(guān)于霍?！都t字》的主題，學(xué)者們有著不同的理解。在眾多評論中，最耐人尋味的，當屬美國評論家尼娜貝姆教授的觀點：《紅字》是一部描繪自然人與社會人分岐的小說。尼娜貝姆提到“（‘市場’）這個場景顯示在個人與由個人組成的社會之間原先具有的一致中出現(xiàn)了一個可想而知的分歧，一道裂隙。［１］而事實上，整部小說或多或少反映了自然的個人與社會的”個人之間的矛盾、沖突。這種沖突試著達成某種一致，最后以一種相融狀態(tài)結(jié)束。誰勝？誰負？

《紅字》中自然人與社會人的沖突可從兩個層次來理解。首先是代表自然人利益的一伙人與代表社會人利益的一伙人之間的沖突；然后是每個人的自然屬性與社會屬性的沖突。

一、作品中代表自然人利益的主要是女主人公海斯特及其女兒珀爾，而代表社會人利益的是兩個情敵丁梅斯德與齊林窩斯

霍桑將海斯特追求自然人利益的思想表現(xiàn)得淋漓盡致。在海斯特看來，追求愛情這是個人的事，與社會、道德、宗教無關(guān)。所以她形式上雖然接受了懲罰胸前佩帶紅色ａ字，而在思想上卻“沒有接受懲罰她的那些社會道德規(guī)范”［２］。而且這一罪之罰的形式標志ａ字也被她繡得光彩奪目，并成為“她進入別的女人不敢涉足的領(lǐng)域的通行證”。為拯救行將失去生活勇氣的牧師，海斯特勸牧師離開小鎮(zhèn)，到自由美好的地方生活，過一家三口的正常生活這也是自然人最起碼的要求。

珀爾的存在本身便是自然人與社會人的矛盾。作為“自然”的產(chǎn)物，愛的結(jié)晶，珀爾來到世上，其與生俱來的“自然”品質(zhì)在作品中得到充分渲染。珀爾與太陽、森林融合為一體，與狼成為朋友，說明珀爾是自然的一部分。正如尼娜貝姆教授所說，“她具有清教徒所竭力否定的一切自然的品質(zhì)。”而珀爾的存在作為一種懲罰，使海斯特想起自己的罪惡。珀爾在行使“社會”對海斯特的監(jiān)控權(quán)利，只要海斯特做出違背社會約束的事情，珀爾就會提醒她（如海斯特摘掉ａ，珀爾不認她的一幕）。因而福格勒在《霍桑的小說》中將珀爾看成“是將海斯特的通奸始終呈現(xiàn)在她的面前，使她怎么也無法逃脫她自己行為所招致的后果。［３］

”丁梅斯德，這個受過良好的教育，文雅而持重的年輕牧師，在教區(qū)中擔任至高的社會責任，是教區(qū)里德才出眾的人物，自認自己是教區(qū)中最神圣的人，并篤信自己是“受上帝的招呼”，作為上帝的替身來從事牧師工作的，自然應(yīng)該被仰慕、被愛戴。他忍受嚴酷的精神折磨是為了維護加爾文清教教義并奢望通過為教民們超渡、贖罪、布道以達到內(nèi)心平安，但七年過去了，這種奢望卻一天也未得到滿足。最終以死亡來向上帝謝罪。從這一點來看，丁梅斯德已失去人的自然屬性，成為清教教義的工具。

老齊林窩斯本應(yīng)是位受害者的形象，但他選擇了向情敵復(fù)仇，這也是在維護１７世紀新英格蘭的社會公德及當時的婦道。

海斯特與兩個男人的沖突，一個表現(xiàn)在追求幸福的家庭生活與維護教義，牧師形象的矛盾；另一個表現(xiàn)在追求女人真正的幸福與堅守婦道之間的矛盾。

二、人的自然屬性與社會屬性的沖突集中表現(xiàn)在幾個人物身上

海斯特的自然屬性是真實的，她的社會屬性卻是虛偽的、虛假的。因而她不存在兩種屬性（兩個自我）的矛盾，她自始至終都只有一個自我。表面上看，海斯特“誠實”地“招認”了自己的罪行，并“順從”地接受社會、宗教、法律對她的懲罰。但她內(nèi)心深入并沒有一刻順從過。在《紅字》第十九章中，她將ａ字摘掉仍在林間地上。這表明她憎恨這一切。她始終游離于社會之外，并伺機逃離社會。是社會拋棄了她還是她拋棄了社會？

人的自然屬性與社會屬性沖突的焦點體現(xiàn)在丁梅斯德身上?！八洚斨翈熀颓槿说碾p重角色，是宗教與自然，社會與人性之間沖突的一個焦點。［４］這里的宗教、社會正是人的社”會屬性的內(nèi)容，而自然與人性則是人的自然屬性的內(nèi)容。表面上丁梅斯德充當著眾人信服的、虔誠的牧師，置所應(yīng)負的責任于不顧，內(nèi)心雖也受著煎熬，但卻能若無其事地布道，這說明他的社會屬性一開始戰(zhàn)勝了自然屬性，并長達七年之久。然而追求正常人生活的渴望卻一刻也未停止過，在《紅字》第１９章中丁梅斯德談到，“你無法想象，我的心里多么害怕這次會面，又多么渴望它！”一語道破其矛盾的自我。

他接受海斯特的慫恿，準備一起逃往英國之事，也說明他追求自然的強烈愿望。《紅字》中第２０章“身陷迷宮的牧師”著力描寫了經(jīng)過林間會面后的牧師，其自然屬性開始復(fù)蘇，并且這種力量一經(jīng)覺醒便占勝了他外強中干的社會屬性，以一種令他自己吃驚的不知疲倦的活力克服了路途上的一切困難。一時間，“整個教堂外觀顯得如此陌生，卻又如此熟悉，致使丁梅斯德先生的頭腦在兩種想法之間擺動不已：要么迄今為止他只是夢中看到它，要么此時他是在做夢”。這表明了他在追求自由、幸福的正常人生活與維護其原有的社會地位，名望之間搖擺不定。自然屬性與社會屬性在他體內(nèi)短兵相接。他的自白可以表明此時的主場：“我并不是你們當作是我的那個人！我已經(jīng)把他留在那邊森林里啦……，去吧，去尋找你們的牧師，看看他那消瘦的身軀，憔悴的臉頰，他那白皙、飽滿突出、布有痛苦皺紋的額頭是否像一件被丟棄的衣服那樣被擲在那兒了！”這表明丁梅斯德要與過去的自我社會屬性的一面一刀兩斷。并終于在他作了激動人心的節(jié)日宗教宣講之后撕下“牧師”的面紗，現(xiàn)出“情人”的本色?！敖?jīng)過復(fù)雜痛苦的內(nèi)心斗爭，‘人性’終于獲取了勝利”。［５］ 至于老齊林窩斯，表面上看他在維護婚姻的社會地位，主張婦女堅守婦道，向情敵復(fù)仇以討回自己做丈夫的權(quán)力及尊嚴儼然一個道德裁判者的形象。這也是其社會屬性的外在表現(xiàn)。但內(nèi)心是在滿足其報復(fù)的私欲和在心理上，精神上折磨別人的快感。這是他自然屬性中最陰險的一面。

三、啟迪

個人組成了社會，個人的愿望形成了社會的規(guī)范。但社會利益與個人利益間又存在著差異，于是就產(chǎn)生了矛盾，因而也就有了人的自然屬性與社會屬性的矛盾。

社會力量是強大的，在現(xiàn)實中自然力量無法戰(zhàn)勝社會力量。小說家通過作品來表達對理想、夢想的想往自然占勝社會。筆者以自然人與社會人的矛盾沖突為線索，釋讀作品，目的是從另一角度賞析作品，如能得到同行的認可，或許會為更全面地分析《紅字》拓寬思路。
