Abstract
This paper examines Hawthorne’s novel The Scarlet Letter (1850) and Stendhal’s Le Rouge
et Le Noir (1830). To achieve this aim, we have used the IMRAD method. This work starts
with an introduction that highlights our main ideas and reviews some of the literature written
on the novels and the novelists. After that, we have stated our problematic and our working
hypothesis. In the method section, we have explored Northrop Frye’s theory of Tragedy. The
material section has provided the summary of the two novels. Then, we have pointed out the
results we have reached from the study of materials. The discussion section embodied our
study of the themes of love and tragic fate as represented by the main characters in the light
of Frye’s theory of Tragedy. At last, we have supplied a conclusion that summarized the steps
we have followed in our work, and restated the issue we have worked on.
