Abstract

Deeply influenced by the family life and the Puritan belief of Depravity, Hawthorne held that every ego had the nature of Devil. As the first American psycho-analytical writer, Hawthorne used to probe the nature of human heart in his works. This paper, by studying the theme and the artistic features of his famous short stories, is meant to reveal Hawthorne’s common theme—probing into the essence of sin
