O knihe
The fourth and last of Nathaniel Hawthorne's four main romances is The Marble Faun: Or, The Romance of Monte Beni, also known in Britain as Transformation. Four primary characters-Miriam, Hilda, Kenyon, and Donatello-are the focus of this relationship.Miriam is a stunning painter who has no idea about her history. She is likened to several other women throughout the book, including Eve, Beatrice Cenci, Judith, and Cleopatra. A strange, menacing figure who is Miriam's "evil genius" throughout life is after her. Hilda is a good-hearted copycat. Both the Virgin Mary and the white dove are used to compare her. Despite having a soft heart, she may become stern due to her straightforward, unbending moral ideals. Hilda and Miriam are frequently compared.Kenyon is a sculptor who embodies humanist rationalism. He treasures his romantic attachment to Hilda. The Count of Monte Beni, Donatello, is in love with Miriam and is frequently likened to Adam. The marble Faun of Praxiteles by Donatello remarkably resembles it, and the story plays on the protagonists' suspicion that the Count could be a relative of the old Faun. However, even in the novel's final chapters and postscript, Hawthorne refrains from making a firm declaration.
