Hawthorne's Characters' Inner Conflicts in The Scarlet Letter are characterized by his memorable themes about fate and the human free will. His fate consists of Calvinistic Providence, and Predestination. His perspectives on the human free will appear to stem form different sources: partly from Calvinism, and partly from Transcendentalism and Arminianism. When his characters' inner conflicts are intertwined with fatalistic forces by free will and sins, he is troubled by the good. In The Scarlet Letter Hester has strong irresistible free will and resists fate, but the one is devastated by the other. Her husband Chillingworth has also the proud free will which includes evil intention to sin against Holy Spirit. That is, he lacks love and reverence for the human soul, whose evil is called “unpardonable”. He accentuates intellectual arrogance more than soul and finally he collapses, being unable to recover the Providence. In addition, he takes a posture with an inner conflicts on human relations, too.
