• "The Marble Faun", in which Hawthorne was blessed with the abaundant imaginative background of Europe for the first time, is the last of the series of romances he completed. In this romance he consistently pursued a theme: how can we escape our bonds and be free and independent; how can we mature morally and intellectually out of Adam's innocence. The murder committed by Miriam and Donatello was, in a sense, an initial explosive leading to their transformation. By this act Miriam was released from her doomed past, awakened in love, and transformed into a dedicated parson. Meanwhile, Donatello was transformed from an innocent faun into a matured adult with a guilty conscience through this bitter experience. Those processes are considered as `initiations' through which they underwent spiritual death and rebirth. Hawthorne's transcendent insight penetrates deep into the current of the human subconscious, which is filled sith contradictory factors. That is why he cannot compromise with readers who always demand `happy endings.' To Miriam and Donatello, European Adam and Eve, the fatal crime was a necessary evil for their spiritual growth, while they as co-sufferers united together in the face of another harsh trial.
