4、尽管他认为人的本质充满罪与恶，但他似乎也在作品中传达了这样的思想——人唯有在经历了或是受罪恶影响后才有可能有所成就。关键词：黑色观念；原罪；邪恶第12页ContentsI.BackgroundInformation…………………………………..…………1A.Hawthorne’slife,worksandreputation……………………………………...11.Hawthorne’slifeandworks………………………………………………….22.Hawthorne’sreputation…………………………………………………….2B.Thereligiousbackground………
