Earticle

In The Scarlet Letter, Nathaniel Hawthorne's desire to connect his narrative strategy with a particular literary area is first represented by frame he uses. The writer's purpose is to tell the truths of the human heart. Hawthorne, as narrator, allows us the freedom to choose from among possible meanings. He often makes us see how differently the same reality may be read. This ambiguity in the novel is the important aspect of Hawthorne's method and cannot be other than intentional. Hawthorne's ambiguity in The Scarlet Letter is more than a matter of theme. In fact the settings of his works are unique what we call neutral ground which is neither an actual nor an imaginative world. In The Scarlet Letter, the actual world mainly means the history of New England used in his works. The Scarlet Letter contains contradictory elements, and invites diverse, even irreconcilable readings, and obliges its readers to choose among various explanations. From the novel's opening sentence to its ending, the ambiguity in theme is born out of Hawthorne's carefully structured ambiguity of form.
