The aim of this study is to explain the two heroines’ active and progressive life in the dogmatic and feudalistic Puritan and Victorian atmosphere in The Scarlet Letter and Jane Eyre. Nathaniel Hawthorne tries to deal with the women’s problems living in the strict and irrational Puritan society. In The Scarlet Letter, Hawthorne endeavors to get over the Puritan community’s contradictions and root out the male-dominated society’s evils by the heroine Hester having a free will. Hawthorne emphasizes the redemption and salvation of a sin through atonement and repentance. But Hawthorne acknowledges there is an unpardonable sin or crime injuring other people’s sprit or soul. Charlotte Bronte depicts contemporary women suffering from the severe suppression and discrimination by the patriarchal society through the heroine Jane. Bronte shows the course of achieving Jane’s self and free will by an equal marriage after tiding over the class and sexual discrimination. Jane, who gets a common education and has a strong self-respect and free will, leads a state life in the Victorian society having Confucian ideas. Hester also has a free will and an advanced thought after admitting and atoning her sin and serving her community. Jane secures her magnificent and active posture experiencing various courses even though she was in very difficult circumstances. In conclusion, Hester and Jane have a free will and some aspects in common in the point of living actively and independently in the inconsistent world without giving up society’s prejudice and injustice of the day.
