Brief Analysis of Pearl in Hawthorne's Scarlet Letter

Noted in American Renaissance, the great Romantic writer Nathaniel Hawthorne mostly takes moral researches as the subject matter of his works. Symbolism, subtle psychological analysis, the great original naming, special arrangement of the scenes and the contrast of darkness and lightness are his common technical skills used to depict characters and reveal the old and permanent topic-man was born naturally with evil, to achieve what he advocated "moral regeneration". Scarlet Letter is his prominent representative work, and the unprecedented presentation of his artistic ingenuity as well. This essay attempts to show the subject-matter and artistic features of this work in the perspective of Pearl.
