“Moral responsibility was seen to develop the individual’s character, and such responsibility is impossible where virtue is not a matter of conscience but of constraint, of outer rather than inner compulsion” (Hall 175). This philosophical aspect of the book is centered in the character of Donatello in the novel The Marble Faun. This last novel of Hawthorne was published in 1860. Hawthorne’s stay in Liverpool as an American consul general provided him with the concept and background of the novel. It introduces four characters who are artists by profession. They are Donatello, Miriam, Kenyon, and Hilda. Donatello is an innocent, faun-like creature, who has grown in a rural arcadia in the company of nature.
