Abstract

The Scarlet Letter, as a masterpiece of the American romantic novelist Nathaniel Hawthorne, has galloped around the world for a hundred years. From the perspective of eco-feminism, this paper attempts to analyze the oppression of human nature and the destruction of nature by patriarchy and capital in The Scarlet Letter, deconstruct the traditional binary opposition, break free from the shackles of “anthropocentrism” and “androcentrism”, and finally come to the conclusion that returning to nature, and building a society where two sexes are equal and people live in harmony with nature are the optimal and ideal path to get rid of alienation and regain harmony of life, enlightening people in today’s modern society full of material desires.
