Résumé

Résumé : "The Pomegranate Seeds" is a retelling of the classic myth of Proserpina, the daughter of Mother Ceres, who is abducted by King Pluto and taken to the underworld. The story begins with Proserpina playing by the sea while her mother tends to the earth's crops. Despite Ceres' warnings, Proserpina wanders off and is captivated by a mysterious shrub. As she pulls it from the ground, a chariot emerges, driven by Pluto, who takes her to his dark realm. Ceres, upon discovering her daughter's disappearance, embarks on a desperate search, neglecting her duties and causing the earth to wither. She encounters various mythical beings, including Hecate and Phoebus, who provide clues about Proserpina's fate. Meanwhile, in the underworld, Proserpina resists Pluto's attempts to make her eat, knowing that consuming food there would bind her to the realm forever. Despite the opulence of Pluto's palace, she longs for her mother and the sunlight. Eventually, Quicksilver is sent to negotiate her release. The story explores themes of loss, maternal love, and the changing seasons, as Ceres' grief affects the natural world. Hawthorne's narrative weaves a rich tapestry of myth and emotion, highlighting the enduring bond between mother and child.
Biographie : Né à Salem en 1804, mort à Plymouth en 1864. Romancier et nouvelliste, descendant d'une famille puritaine qui avait pris une part active à la chasse aux sorcières au XVII¿ et plus tard à la persécution des Quakers. Ce lourd passé constitue le thème majeur de toute l'oeuvre de Hawthorne.
