The Birthmark is a wonderful short story by Nathaniel Hawthorne that confronts us with the omnipresent pressure of being physically perfect...by the standards in the eyes of the beholders around us. Aylmer is a great scientist of in the 1700´s. However, among all interesting scientific topics he could have devoted his attention to, Aylmer is obsessed with the birthmark on his wife Georgiana's cheek that he desperately wants to remove as it depicts a beauty flaw to him. Eventually, after many discussions and tears, Georgiana gives in to her husband and succumbs to his experiment to have the birthmark removed. As a consequence of Aylmer‘s experiment, Georgiana gains physical perfection with her birthmark completely fading away from her cheek whilst she fatally loses her life! Perfect read, absolutely recommended! #GroupReading #GroupDiscussion IG: nilguen_reads
