Nathaniel Hawthorne

The Birthmark (Thriller Classic)

In “The Birthmark” we are introduced with Aylmer, a brilliant scientist and natural philosopher who has abandoned his experiments for a while to marry the beautiful Georgiana. The story deals with the husband's deeply negative obsession of his wife's outer appearances and what does that entail for these two young couples. The birthmark represents various things throughout the story. Two of the main representations are imperfection and mortality. American novelist and short story writer Nathaniel Hawthorne's (1804–1864) writing centers on New England, many works featuring moral allegories with a Puritan inspiration. Hawthorne has also written a few poems which many people are not aware of. His works are considered to be part of the Romantic movement and, more specifically, Dark romanticism. His themes often centre on the inherent evil and sin of humanity, and his works often have moral messages and deep psychological complexity
