However, because readers don't understand the story of the Bible, they can't understand the author's good intentions in his works, which leads to cultural barriers.

1 The Garden of Eden in the Bible, Adam and Eve

Old Testament? Genesis records the stories of Eden, Adam and Eve. According to the Bible, human beings are the managers and dominators of this world. Adam means "human" and Eve means "mother of life". God built a paradise for Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden in the East. Later, Satan tempted them to eat the fruit of the tree of good and evil, and God drove them out of the Garden of Eden.

It is these far-reaching figures who are favored by writers. In literary works, Adam, Eve, Jesus, Satan, Abraham and others appear most frequently. Their stories can often inspire writers' rich imagination, thus creating one unique and novel hero image after another.

Cooper created the famous "Leather Socks Five", which mainly described the hunter "Leather Socks" in the forest. Nadine. Bambo's life. In the Bible, God ordered Adam to guard the Garden of Eden. And "leather socks" are like Adam guarding the Garden of Eden. Cooper once said that "leather socks" are "the best quality without going to extremes in two living conditions".

There are many discussions about the relationship between the Scarlet Letter and the Bible, and there are also many monographs devoted to it. Here, I want to put the protagonist Hester in The Scarlet Letter? As one of the many images of Adam, Brandon will be briefly explained.

Hawthorne is deeply influenced by the Bible in portraying characters. He showed everyone an honest and kind image of "New Adam" by subtle and tortuous means. Hester committed adultery with the priest. Hester urged the priest to escape. She said, "You can still be happy." This implies that although human beings lost the Garden of Eden because of crime, they can have a bright future and find the lost paradise again as long as they are brave enough to atone.

The Scarlet Letter questioned the author's time. The image of Hester successfully shows the consciousness of bravely creating a new life. In addition, the symbol "A" in the scarlet letter is also taken from the Bible. Genesis records that Cain killed his brother Abel and was exiled. But God made a mark on his forehead to prevent him from being killed. This symbol indicates that this man is both a sinner and a saint. Hester finally became a symbol of "ability" and "angel".
