demands for equality have blurred the distinctions between the sexes, creating situations where men are able to dominate women because of their more aggressive and forceful natures. Rachel Trickett says: “Women, without some code of deference or respect, become increasingly victims” (Mao Fenghua, 2005, 11). Camilla never gives up fighting for the secular, and she continually loves the Prince. The hostility from the British people cannot crush her. For their true love, she is willing to pay the entire price. World is progressing, Camilla is progressing too. Camilla always keeps touch with Charles, and she is always Charles’s mistress. Facing condemns from the public and royal family, she doesn’t show the strong struggling. Because she loves Charles, that is the most important. As women, they should comply with their husbands even if there is no love between them. But Hester and Camilla set the good examples for the new women. They dare fight for the secular for their love and dare pursuit their true love. The era is different, but the essence of struggling is the same: expecting the true love.

Hester has permeated with the feminist consciousness that she is a pioneer who seeks freedom, individuality liberation and true love. She is a person with strong perseverance and faithful love. Although she is sentenced by the rulers, she has struggled indomitably for defending their justice and truth, for defending their innocence and purity. She continually is in pursuit of her true love, and considers her love as sacrosanct. Due to the loyal love and specific perseverance, she refuses to tell the identity of her lover and would prefer to confront the harsh reality. With the protection of the lover, to seek the great love, Hester uses an unimaginable courage to support herself. She endures all the pains at present and hasn’t disclosed the name of the baby’s father. Facing to all the difficulties, she hasn’t shown the slightest retreat. The secular society also surrendered the “raped woman” for the first time. “It is to the credit of human nature, that, except where its selfishness is brought into play, it loves more readily than it hates.” (Hawthorne, 2001, 87) On one hand, love is an eternal topic of mankind and is always one of the best feelings in human life.
