Stein seems to try to find out Faustian desires in all the heroes and Gretchen-like characters in all the heroines. His analysis wins success in the case of "Ethan Brand," but in the case of the other four stories his experiments prove rough, not to say failures. Especially, Gretchen archetype can't be" applicable to all the heroines, because sometimes they could not be virgins both in mind and body nor could be pure in hearts--sometimes the heroines neglected their Fausts or didn't even recognize their Fausts. My analysis should not be determined with his analysis, that is to say, though I pay my sincere regards to Stein's method, I do not think Faust and Gretchen archetypes are not always golden rules. So I direct my attention to the chronological transition of Love through these four stories. In "Drowne's Wooden Image" and "The Artist of the Beautiful", difference m social standing prevents their heroes' and heroines' from becoming man and wife. In "The Birthmark", the notion that a spouse should be a complete substance per se denies lovers' being a perfect pair in spite of their perfectionism. In "Rappaccini's Daughter", both the hero and the heroine eagerly seek his and her counterpart, not knowing their inevitable destiny. Every story reflects various aspects of love and the spirit of the age when any kind of love is prevalent. Thus Hawthorne asks us to solve every loveaffair without avoiding our responsibilities. This is a moral which is given to me by Stein's Faustian desire In analysing Hawthorne's five short stories with Faust and Gretchen archetypes., Article, 信州大学教養部紀要. 第一部, 人文科学 8: 71-84(1974)}, pages = {71--84}, title = {Hawthorne の短篇小説に於ける五人のFaust 群像}, volume = {8}, year = {1974} }
