Abstract
- Being identified with the imaginary father to separate from the abject mother, Pearl in The Scarlet Letter is finally able to construct her subject. This paper takes an excursion into Kristevan exploration of how Pearl's subjectivity develops. It also reveals and analyzes Pearl's bewilderment and dilemma in the process of her subject construction. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
