This novel examines few problems like the complications of a foreign culture. This complication evolves from psychological state of mind where an individual finds himself entrapped into the circumstances of life. These circumstances are not easy to understand as it also covers most of the human values. Living abroad sounds nice but it raises many questions associated with identity crisis. The novel has also talked about the positive responses of human sufferings which have been calculated in terms of benefits. . In the whole canon of American Literature the name of Hawthorne is ineffaceable which stands for morality. He is also very controversial in terms of religion and politics. This author has always been a subject of debate. His most of the writings project realism which surrounds the history of American culture from Puritanism to spiritualism.
