His masterpiece, The Scarlet Letter, described the different life conditions and ends of the three heroes and discussed mainly problems of sin and redemption. Since the first Chinese translation of The Scarlet Letter appeared in the 1950s, scholars and readers in this country have shown an ever-increasing interest in his works. Its immortal enchantment lies in not only its condemnation of the negative impact of Puritan society on peoples spirit, but also its affirmation of good thinking over the original sin. The novel concerns the consequence caused by the sin and peoples attitude towards sin rather than the sin itself. He believes that man can do good deeds to get rid of evil in his heart. This paper will be divided into four parts: The first part mainly introduces the background of the author, some of his works and the significance of the study on The Scarlet Letter; The second part will analyze the origin of Puritanism and sin; The third part is the analysis of main characters from the puritan point of view, and the last part gets conclusion and restates the authors understanding on Puritanism.
