I truly believe
that you are not human unless you are evil. Humans are evil. Unlike
Hawthorne, I focus more on the human psyche and the ability of humans to be
evil. I focus less on the fact that goodness is attainable.
Hawthorne is too focused on the morals and he is too didactic. He believes that not everyone is perfect,
humans are supposed to be imperfect. His
work on “The Birthmark” shows that humans are meant to be imperfect,
that’s the way nature made them. The
birthmark symbolizes the flaws of humanity and if you have no flaws, you die. When Aylmer used the powerful potion to get
rid of the birthmark, it actually went away so Georgiana died because she had
no imperfection and no flaws so she died.
This story was very morally charged.
Scientifically, the removal of her birthmark was a success but in nature,
it was a failure because it shows that nature cant be changed or messed with.
