【正文】 Through her life, she searched for her “home of soul” all the time. Although she suffered a lot in the pursuit, she was never defeated. Under great sufferings she was brave enough to face life and get along with people around her. Further more, she played the role of a guide in others’ life and helped them pursue happiness. Thus, on account of positive attitude towards life, Meggie was successful in the pursuit of her “home of soul”.3. Similar feminist ideas related to the two heroines Feminism in loveIn the two novels, love is the key element which serves to recruit women in to subservient positions within the certain social circumstance. “There, Feminism acts as a bond that keeps women in the traditional gender roles and prevents them from attaining the economic freedom that could provide a basis for equality.” (Shuling Yu, 2002: 69) The two heroines devote all their love to their priests without getting a blessing from God they believe in. One might say if the love is real and true, then at least she has the true love, what could be worth more in one’s life. But the feminist critique goes further. What is monly called love is often permeated with uneasiness. And people just face the same uneasiness in their life, but love bravely and breakthrough the limitation of morality. In the similarities of the two heroines, we can find that feminism abound in their love stories. Hester believed in God, married a man she never was in love with, fell in love with Arthur Dimmesdale, but got nothing besides receiving a shameful “A”. She asked Dimmesdale to run away with her, but without the answer she wanted. Dimmesdale is too fearful to tell the truth to the munity. The same joke occurs to Meggie. Meggie also believed in God at the very beginning. When she noticed that God hadn’t brought she any good fortune, but take away Frank, her dad, Louis and her true love Father Ralph from her one by one. When Ms. Carson was dead, in order to take away all the Thirteen million pounds to scarify his career, Father Ralph even showed out the new will of Ms. Carson. And in the novel we can see the content after: ““Bravo, Mary” said Father Ralph again, these first tears since his boyhood dropping from his face onto the backs of his hands, but not onto the paper.”(Colleen McCullough, 1992: 195) Ralph seems to love his career more than Meggie. So he did. When Meggie asks Ralph to marry her, her true love has been ignored. Ralph said that he loves God most. Although, that must not be true, Ralph once admitted that he was just a man and he properly loves Meggie more than God. We can see Ralph still dare not showing love to Meggie. In the two novels, both the heroines are brave enough to face and fight for their true love. Resistance to the societyIn their stories, we can see that Hester and Meggie hold some traditional concepts of females. But we say they have some new feminist concepts deep in their mind. Because they want a new life and they struggle with the reality without fear. Their resistance is more remarkable than any other characteristic. Hester and Meggie both have an introvert personality. For the sake of love and protection of the loved man, Hester keeps Dimmesdale as a secret and never divulge the secret. Meggie prefers not to tell Ralph that Danny was his son. In men’s eyes，the heroines Hester and Meggie are the women who are insulted by the public because they do not obey men’s order. On the one hand，Hester and Meggie want to live independently and even dream of having an equal right with men in future and this is just what men are afraid of in The Scarlet Letter and The Thorn Birds. On the other hand, Hester and Meggie’s virtues of being a loving mother, generosity, patience, unselfishness and conscientiousness just what men entrust to in those quantities elevate the two females in the writers and reader’s eyes and make many people believe in the existence of a strong feminist in female on Nathaniel Hawthorne and Colleen McCullough. In The Scarlet Letter, there is a very plicated human relation in society. By means of symbolism, Hawthorne describes the fate of each figure. With his deep going thought and sharp eyes, he gains an insight into the society, religion and the civilization of human beings．Hester live in an oppressive religious munity in the 17th century. Hester stands for natural human feeling, symbolizing the struggle for happiness and freedom. The persecution from the side of Puritans does not make her give up, but makes her a liberal woman，who is skillful in observing, thinking and struggling. Her charm embodies in her beauty, her loyalty to love，her courage to pursue happiness and her dignity of human personality. On the contrary, Meggie live in a liberal society of the 20th century. She is a much more individualist character pared with Hester. She got the right to love a priest. She even can ask Ralph de Bricassart to quit being a priest and marry her. Meggie faces the less plex relation in The Thorn Birds. She got
