This study examines Nathaniel Hawthorne's The Scarlet Letter, focusing on Hester Prynne's role in both challenging and reinforcing androcentric narratives of widowhood and single motherhood. By transforming Hester's isolation as a widow into public shame as an adulteress, the novel's androcentric narrative exposes gender biases and double standards that distort societal perceptions of female transgression. This reflects the broader social stigmatization experienced by women in conservative societies. Employing a \"Gynocentric\" lens, this research explores how Hester's economic independence and resilience transform the \"scarlet letter\" from a mark of shame into a symbol of defiance and autonomy. The roles of Arthur Dimmesdale and Roger Chillingworth further illuminate the \"masculine mask\" that exacerbate Hester's marginalization. It revealing an androcentric structure that subjects women to moral scrutiny while safeguarding male privilege. Through a close reading of the text, this study critiques these biases and exposes persistent inequalities in the treatment of women, particularly in the absence of male figures. This research contributes to literary scholarship by offering a nuanced interpretation of gender roles in The Scarlet Letter, advocating for a re-evaluation of androcentric narratives, and emphasizing the need for more inclusive representations of societal attitudes towards single women. Finally, the study underscores the importance of addressing both historical and contemporary gender biases to advance equity and deepen understanding of the societal, cultural, and psychological challenges faced by single women and single mothers.

The present paper explores the concept of confession and its genealogical development as articulated by Michel Foucault's work and portrayed in both Hawthorne's The Scarlet Letter and Roth's Indignation. By comparing and contrasting confessional practices in the selected novels, this study aims to highlight how the distinct definitions and functions assigned to confession exist within both religious and secular contexts. In particular, this analysis seeks to shed light on how religious confession rites have evolved into an important technology for knowledge production and, ultimately, the exercise of power in the secular age. This study eventually demonstrates the importance of the protagonists' social and cultural understanding of confession, as well as the way these understandings shape both Hester's and Marcus's experience with it.

Nathaniel Hawthorne, whose novel, \"The Scarlet Letter, \" is one of the most well-known American literature authors, is generally acknowledged as a significant contributor to the formation of the romance novel genre. His writings are heavily influenced by Puritan philosophy. Hawthorne portrays the society of 17th-century Puritan America in The Scarlet Letter, interpreted as a reflection of women's difficulties during that era. This study aims to explore how female characters struggle with oppression and intolerance in the Puritan community. The design of the study is a textual analysis. Data was collected from the text \"The Scarlet Letter\" as the primary data, while secondary data came from various books, papers, websites, Britannica, and other sources. A qualitative data analysis method is adopted. The data were analyzed and described using Puritan ideology as the basis for interpretation. The findings indicate that the analysis may predict how women were portrayed in patriarchal Puritan societies throughout Nathaniel Hawthorne's lifetime, particularly in the middle of the eighteenth century. The study recommends that additional research be carried out to analyze the topic of oppression and dominance over women.

يؤسس ناثنيل هوثورن روايته (الحرف القرمزي) (1850) بنويا على استخدامات الرمز والإشارة الأمر الذي جعل كثير من النقاد يصفون روايته بانها مثقلة بهذين العنصريين. لقد استخدم هوثورن منهجا روائيا لغويا لم يسبقه أحد به من قبل. فقد طبق نظرية العالم اللغوي السويسري فردناند دي سوسور قبل خمسين عاما من ظهورها مما يؤكد أصالة الكاتب وحسه اللغوي المرهف في عمله الإبداعي واستخدامه قيم تعبيرية إبداعية لوصف المدلول بطريقة غير مألوفة. يتناول البحث الفروق الفنية بين الرمز والإشارة وتحليل استخداماتهما في النص طبقا لنظرية دي سوسور اللغوية والتي تقول بأن ما يميز اللغة الأدبية هو في انزياحها من المستوى القاموسي إلى المستوى المجازي. يحطم هوثورن كل المفاهيم المعدة سلفا في طبيعة العلاقة بين الدال والمدلول للوصول إلى تطابق منسجم بين اللغة المجازية وما تحويه من رموز وإشارات وبين المعنى. فلا نلاحظ أي تنافر بينهما أو تضاد بل على العكس فان هذا الاستخدام يمنح المعنى حرية الانفلات في فضاءات مفتوحة سواء ان أكان ضمن النص أو في مخيلة القارئ، وبه ذا يبتعد هوثورن عن الاستخدام الكلاسيكي في التعامل مع الرمز والإشارة.
