摘要:霍桑(Nathaniel Hawthorne, 1804 一1864 )是美国文学史上著名的浪漫主义作家。他一生中创作了多部作品，如《红字》、《玉石雕像》、《福谷传奇》、《古屋青苔》，除《红字》被誉为文学史上最完美的作品之一，《玉石雕像》也是美国乃至世界文学宝库的经典。在创作上，家庭观是霍桑文学作品中主要涉及的主题之一。霍桑习惯以道德批判的方式去反映美国错综复杂的婚姻家庭问题, 并表现出超然的生活态度。作为家庭观的重点，爱情婚姻观在《玉石雕像》中有众多表现，作者实际上在借四位青年男女成为两对情侣及他们所遭遇的悲欢离合的故事旗帜鲜明地表达自己的婚恋观点，即霍桑对于婚恋自由的追求，对人性的尊重，对男女平等的向往。而这些观点的形成与霍桑的生活经历、家族历史以及时代背景等密不可分，表明了作者的家庭观受到了来自维多利亚时代的男权意识、美国现代婚姻道德以及作者自身生活经历等诸多因素的影响，借以表达霍桑矛盾的世界观。
