Abstract
This essay examines the binary opposition evident in the characters in Nathaniel Hawthorne's story, "The House of the Seven Gables". The paper explains that Hawthorn'es message, that posterity would benefit more from a strong set of plebeian values and ideals than from patrician inherited gold, was conveyed through his structured use of binary opposition in his characters.
From the Paper
"With the Revolutionary War only sixty-eight years removed, aristocratic thinking is being challenged by the new democratic mind-set. During this turbulent, yet exciting, growth spurt in American history, Nathaniel Hawthorne publishes The House of the Seven Gables (1851). His masterful use of binary characters subtlety argues for the wholesomeness of plebeian democratic values rather than keeping the patrician aristocratic power structure. Hawthorne creates several characters that are in binary opposition to one another. Among other themes, these characters represent the theme of the rise of the plebeian over the ashes of the patrician."

Abstract
The following paper focuses on how Hawthorne develops symbolic significance for the house, the portrait of Colonel Pyncheon, and the old family deed in order to legitimize his ending. This paper uses text analysis to identify key issues raised by Hawthorne, and then questions how these issues are resolved.
From the Paper
"The ending of Hawthorne?s The House of Seven Gables seems like a concession to most readers? desire for a happy ending. Hawthorne seems to abandon his morbid threats of an inescapable family curse, the radicalism of Holgrave, and his disdain for Hepzibah?s notions of aristocracy in order to bestow his ?good? characters with the traditional fairy tale reward ? money and marriage. Hawthorne states his moral in the preface of his novel, expressing a desire to expose ?the truth, namely, that the wrong-doing of one generation lives into the successive ones, and, divesting itself of every temporary advantage, becomes a pure and uncontrollable mischief?. This idea of a moral curse is continuously emphasized throughout the narrative, but then apparently becomes mollified by the resolution. Have Hawthorne?s characters truly succeeded in escaping their curse? Or does Hawthorne?s ending put an optimistic light over a much darker message? "

From the Paper
"Nathaniel Hawthorne creates in his fiction a sense of American history as a weight on characters in his present, holding them to certain values, visiting upon them the guilt of their ancestors, and linking them to a continuity beginning and continuing on American soil. In The House of the Seven Gables, the key issue hanging over the characters in the present is the way their ancestors made their wealth and the people they destroyed as they did so. The family in the present has inherited the guilt of that past and must either succumb to it or overcome it. The first possibility is represented by the house they seem unable to escape, and the latter is represented by an outside force that helps the family escape that house.
Nathaniel Hawthorne's The House of the Seven Gables tells of the Pyncheon family and the curse that was visited upon it. The ..."

Nathaniel Hawthorne, 2004.
An analysis of Nathaniel Hawthorne and his rejection of Puritan values.

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper discusses the ideas expounded by Nathaniel Hawthorne, often thought of today as a reflection of Puritan values, although in Puritan times, he would have been recognized as a reformer at best and a heretic at worst. The paper discusses several of his works, "The Scarlet Letter," "The House of Seven Gables," "Young Goodman Brown,, "The Birthmark," and "Rappaccini's Daughter," claiming they show evidence of countless examples of a stretching of strict values. The paper contends that, by rejecting the ideals of the Puritan and the Victorian eras, Hawthorne acts as a soothsayer of the coming age of cyclical relaxation that can be seen, respectively, in the Flapper Era and in the 1960s.
From the Paper
"Much of Hawthorne's message in his most well known work, The Scarlet Letter is one of feminine independence. The structure of Hester's society was such that she was challenged by her circumstances and even more challenged by the community in which she lived. Her social standing fell to that of a relative harlot when her very public fall from grace was revealed by her pregnancy, a pregnancy clearly begotten outside of her marriage bed. As has been clearly pointed out countless time the work is steeped in the biblical traditions of the Puritan Era and Hawthorne himself interweaves countless analogous meanings in his work."

Nathaniel Hawthorne, 2007.
An analysis of the references to Puritanism in Nathaniel Hawthorne's stories and novels.

Abstract
This paper discusses the author of the Romantic period, Nathaniel Hawthorne. It particularly discusses his views on Puritanism, as one of the main themes of his work was the concept of unpardonable sin, which all Puritans held very close to their hearts. The paper gives examples from Hawthorne's books of this concept and uses some of some of these examples to discuss whether Hawthorne condoned puritanical beliefs or condemned them.
From the Paper
"Humanity means morality and faith here and represents everything good and wholesome. Hawthorne felt that when man starts to use his intellect to seek scientific knowledge to support or reject his beliefs, he is basically committing a crime and thus losing touch with humanity. The main reason Hawthorne equated knowledge with evil was because he felt evil was always a lurking possibility and as long as man doesn't engage himself in unnecessary questioning, he could keep that evil force silent. As he once noted: "There is a fund of evil in every human heart, which may remain latent, perhaps through the whole of life; but circumstances may arouse it to activity" (Coale, 1).
Even though Hawthorne was born in the Puritan society, he appears to have disliked the strict laws and regulations of the time. This is because while he endorses the view the faith must not be questioned, he also found that this view was not practiced by the people in its true spirit."

Nathaniel Hawthorne's "The Birthmark", 2006.
A discussion of Nathaniel Hawthorne's use of symbolism in his work, "The Birthmark".

»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper explains that Nathaniel Hawthorne lived at a time when science was viewed with equal parts awe and suspicion. Hawthorne was, in fact the descendant of a Protestant minister which may have led to the cautionary tone of his works when writing of science. The paper examines how this cautionary tone is evident in "The Birthmark" and is made apparent by Hawthorne's use of symbolism in the story.
From the Paper
"The birthmark in question is a tiny strawberry mark in the shape of a "singular mark" that "bore not a little similarity to a human hand" (Hawthorne 3). Hawthorne's narrator suggests that this tiny hand was a fairy mark. However, given that the union between Aylmer and Georgiana was deemed a spiritual one and that the mark was "deeply interwoven [. . .] with the texture and substance of her face" the power behind that hand would seem to be a much greater one indeed."

Abstract
Nathaniel Hawthorne's "Blithedale Romance", is the first person narration of a man bent upon joining a world that has no need of him by imposing an arbitrary order upon his reality. Blithedale, is a novel of polarities. Just as Coverdale imposes order on reality, Zenobia, the feminine voice of creation, understands reality as a fragmented thing that cannot have order forced upon it. We see in the novel oppositions in communities, in social order, and in place. But, Hawthorne also gives us a richly crafted story about what it is that defines community and the common spirit or communal soul. The romance, of this book, is not just that of man and woman, but of the romantic ideals of society and of order. Coverdale, who is the namesake of the primary translator of the King James bible, is a man bent upon making the world be what he wants it to be. Hawthorne's, The Blithedale Romance, provides the reader with a set of beliefs, ideals, and aspirations, that become ideologies that actually mask reality thus pitting the utopian hopes of Blithedale against actual human behaviors - which makes for a difficult conflict at best.

Abstract
The paper describes how the fiction of Nathaniel Hawthorne is laced with symbolism and symbolic meaning employed by objects, words and character and place names that convey the ideas Hawthorne wants to implant in the reader. The paper portrays how such symbols often work on the reader unconsciously, evoking meaning and memory based on associations the reader has with the words used or even the sounds of the words. The paper analyzes "Roger Malvin's Burial" and highlights the symbolism present in this short story.
From the Paper
"The oak stands as another sign that this is the same place, and the oak also represents the passage of time and the persistence of memory, consience, and sin. When Reuben kills his son and his wife shrieks and falls on the boy's body, the oak acts as if alive: "At that moment, the withered topmost bough of the oak loosened itself, in the stilly air, and fell in soft, light fragments upon the rock, upon the leaves, upon Reuben, upon his wife and child, and upon Roger Malvin's bones" (para. 68). The symbolism is complete as the story makes a full circle and returns to its beginning."

Abstract
This paper explains that, in Nathaniel Hawthorne's "Young Goodman Brown", the two important characters are the protagonist, Brown and his wife Faith, whose role in the story is small but significant and symbolic. The author relates that the story revolves around a man's journey into the heart of darkness to discover the strength of his own faith, which is a weak power that easily can be suppressed by evil forces. The paper asserts that Hawthorne aptly named the wife Faith because, throughout the story, she acts as the force that stands opposed to evil and because references to Faith depict the various stages and forms of Brown's faith at different points in the story.
From the Paper
"Faith is a pretty young woman who recently got married to Brown. She is an innocent person and pink ribbons are symbolically used to depict her beauty and purity. "And Faith, as the wife was aptly named, thrust her own pretty head into the street, letting the wind play with the soft ribbons of her cap." Faith wants Brown to postpone his journey so the two can enjoy each other's company. At this point in their relationship, the power of Faith should be the strongest since they are newlyweds. It is that power which delays his journey by a few hours. When questioned by his evil companion, Brown confesses: "Faith kept me back a while.""
