Hester Prynne: Boston settler who commits adultery and bears a child while awaiting the arrival of her husband from Europe.Authorities require her to wear a piece of red cloth in the shape of an A(standing for adulteress)on the bodice of her dress to identify her as a sinner.She refuses to identify her partner in sin.Hester is named after the title character of an Old Testament book.In that book, Esther–a Jew who marries the King of Persia, Ahasuerus(Xerxes I)–and her cousin Mordecai persuade the king to spare the lives of Jews previously singled out for annihilation.The Jewish festival of Purim, also called the Feast of Lots, celebrates their deliverance from the Persian sword.Pearl: Hester’s child.As her name suggests, she is something good that came from sin.She is also a constant reminder–to Hester and to the townspeople–of Hester's sinfulness.At times, she is an unruly child, a burden to her mother.But Hester loves her just the same

第五篇：《红字》读后感

《红字》读后感3篇

《红字》读后感1

《红字》是我许久以后遇到的一本振奋人心的好书，因为文化风俗的差异，对外国的名著一直带着一种似是而非的解读，因此也就显得不伦不类。但是，美国作家霍桑的长篇小说《红字》却是一本比较容易读懂的书，因为它更是关于人性的。

《红字》讲述了17世纪清教殖民统治下，在波士顿发生的一个恋爱悲剧。女主人海丝特·白兰以为丈夫在海难中已经遭遇不幸。在孤独中白兰与牧师丁梅斯代尔相恋并生下女儿珠儿。白兰被当众惩罚，戴上标志＂通奸＂的红色A字示众。然而，在众人鄙视的目光中，白兰始终独自承担着所谓的＂耻辱＂与＂罪恶＂，她不断热心接济和帮助别人，最终赢得了人们的尊敬，而经过多年的窥探，她的丈夫罗杰也认定了＂道德伟大＂的丁梅斯代尔牧师就是那个隐藏的同犯。于是他千方百计地接近牧师，旁敲侧击，冷嘲热讽，不停地在精神上对牧师进行折磨。最终，牧师被白兰的勇敢所感染，决定和她以及小珠儿一起离开这个地方。然而，牧师病情加重，在他生命的最后，他勇敢的走向了曾经白兰受罚的邢台，坦诚他所认为的＂罪＂。

海丝特·白兰，勇敢者，凭借爱情与其坚毅赢得生之希望，她对爱人的守望，对爱情那清晰明了的坚持，永不背叛。虽然她无法摆脱强加在她身上的耻辱，但她内心深处的感情却敬请澎湃，无法遏制。她认为追求爱情是自然的事，是人的本性，与社会、宗教、道德无关。＂正是因为她和丁梅斯代尔先生的爱情，使她能够在众人的'白眼中坚守下来。

《红字》读后感2

今天，我读了《红字》这一本书，《红字》主要讲海丝特出身于英国的贵族家庭，由于家中落迫，被迫嫁给一个身材畸形的老者，途经荷兰，丈夫有事停留，让她先回去，两年后丈夫却杳无音讯。

其间，海丝特暗中与年轻的牧师阿瑟·丁梅斯代尔相爱，并生下了一个女孩。海丝特的行为触犯了教规，但是她坚持不肯讲出她的同犯，当她怀抱婴儿在刑台上示众的时候，她的丈夫回来了。为了隐藏他和海丝特的奸夫以求报复，他费尽心机终于发现此人就是丁斯代尔牧师。他想尽一切办法折磨牧师，在精神和肉体上摧残他，牧师经受不住长期的折磨而即将死去，死前他向全体市民讲出真相。

海丝特死后，她和牧师合用一个墓碑，上面刻着一个鲜红的A字。读完整本书，我对清教的虚伪和残忍而感到痛恨。记得论语中有一句话：子曰：巧言令色，鲜矣仁。意思就是说：满脸是讨人喜欢的神情，满嘴是讨人喜欢的花言巧语，这种人仁德是不多见的。也就是这种人一生都是虚伪的，难道你不可以展示你真实的面貌吗？

你用你的虚伪出人头地，但是没过多久就会被人看破，你弄假，总有一天会被人识破的。我曾从电视里看过，有些人卖假酒、卖假烟，害死了很多人，不也是被人民识破的。希望这个世界上永远没有虚伪的人。

《红字》读后感3

疫情期间在家无聊读了很多书，我觉得没事了读读书能让我们变得更好，今天我们就说说红字这本书。

《红字》是美国浪漫主义作家霍桑创作的长篇小说。发表于1850年。《红字》讲述了发生在北美殖民时期的恋爱悲剧。女主人公海丝特·白兰嫁给了医生奇灵渥斯，他们之间却没有爱情。在孤独中白兰与牧师丁梅斯代尔相恋并生下女儿珠儿。白兰被当众惩罚，戴上标志“通奸”的红色A字示众。然而白兰坚贞不屈，拒不说出孩子的父亲。小说惯用象征手法，人物、情节和语言都颇具主观想象色彩，在描写中又常把人的心理活动和直觉放在首位。因此，它不仅是美国浪漫主义小说的代表作，同时也被称作是美国心理分析小说的开创篇。

小说以两百多年前的殖民地时代的美洲为题材，但揭露的却是19世纪资本主义发展时代美利坚合众国社会典法的残酷、宗教的欺骗和道德的虚伪。主人公海丝特被写成了崇高道德的化身。她不但感化了表里不一的丁梅斯代尔，同时也在感化着充满罪恶的社会。

读了这本小说能让我感到当时社会的黑暗，更能理解现在生活美好的来之不易。
