Abstract

The House of the Seven Gables is one of the most representative works of Nathaniel Hawthorne, the American writer and novelist. In this novel, Hawthorne, in the basis of the house of the seven gables, through the old Gothic tradition of an inherited curse, depicts a story in which the Pyncheon family was gotten back at because the thuggery committed by the ancestors of Pyncheon Family. In the meaning time, this novel is one that bears huge symbolic significance. This paper, from the perspective of the critique of everyday life theory of Lefebvre, mainly talks about the alienation of people’s everyday life and the aesthetical salvation of it. Academically, this novel is often interpreted from the perspective of Gothic Curse, symbolism, archetypal critical theory and so forth. This paper aims to further study the alienation and aesthetic salvation in this novel, thus promoting the research of Hawthorne in the domestic academical world.
