在美国浪漫主义文学时期,著名作家霍桑的短篇小说《小伙子布朗》是众多小说中出色的一篇。该篇小说通过描写布朗受到内心罪恶的驱使去森林间参加魔鬼聚会这件事,揭示了人的本性本是恶这样一个主题,同时也表现了作家对美国基督教的矛盾看法。在小说中多次用到了心理分析的手法,通过这种小说描写的特点,使读者更加生动的了解了主人公的性格特点。 In the period of American romantic literature, the famous writer Hawthorne’s short story “Young Man Brown” is an excellent one in many novels. The novel, by depicting Brown being driven by inner evil to go to the devil’s meeting in the forest, reveals the theme that human nature is evil at the same time, as well as the writer’s conflicting views on American Christianity. In the novel, the method of psychoanalysis is used many times, and the characters described by this novel make the reader more vividly understand the character and character of the hero.
