Abstract
In more than one century The Scarlet Letter has been one of the most frequently analyzed works of American literature, which to great extent lies in that it depicts the society as it actually was at that time. And it has also been considered as a reflection of women’s problems at that time. As an honest and thoughtful writer, Hawthorne narrates the story of Hester’s miserable life, reveals us the women’s marginal position in a Puritan society, and meanwhile, exposes mercilessly the cruelty and the prejudice against women of Puritan society. Through his carefully observation on women’s life and artistic creation, he successfully creates a new image---Hester, a rebel against the social order of Puritan community. Through the analysis of two heroes and the heroine, oppression on women in patriarchal society and the Puritan society, this thesis tries to complete an interpretation of the novel from the perspective of post colonial feminism and will be in-depth exploration of feminism in the Scarlet Letter, to reveal its social values. What’s more, it also calls on people to pay attention to and support the oppressed women to fight for their own legitimate rights and interests.
