Not long after getting married Georgiana’s birthmark, which is in the shape of a tiny handprint on her check, really begins to bother Aylmer. He sees it as a flaw in an other wise perfect woman.

    Every relationship is different. Weather one may be in a relationship with a boy, or just a friend, it is different. Even though they are different, the characters in “The Birthmark” by Nathaniel Hawthorne and “IND AFF” by Fay Weldon are in similar relationships. That is, the male is dominant over the female, and the woman thinks the man is her knight in shining armor. In the beginning of “IND AFF” the unnamed woman thinks her professor, Peter, who she is having an affair with, is her ticket to creating a good thesis and higher standings. Similarly, in “The Birthmark,” Georgiana thinks her husband is her ticket to flawless beauty because he tells her he will remove her birthmark. Obviously, this is not how relationships operate in today’s society. These two relationships compare and contrast with each other as well as with relationships in today’s day-and-age.

  • Georgiana's Character In The Birthmark By Nathaniel Hawthorne

    619 Words  | 2 Pages

    In the Merriam-Webster dictionary, humanism is defined as a philosophy that usually rejects supernaturalism and stresses an individual’s dignity and worth and capacity for self-realization through reason. When the reader hears the word birthmark, the reader automatically thinks of a permanent mark somewhere on the body. In the short story, “The Birthmark”, Nathaniel Hawthorne very much does that and goes deep into the story using Georgiana and Aylmer’s relationship to get his concept across. Georgiana is a young and extremely attractive woman, with just one flaw; she has a birthmark on her left cheek. Throughout the short story, the reader learns a lot about how this very little flaw, or no flaw at all, shapes Georgiana’s character. Given that, Hawthorne uses symbolism to portray Georgiana’s
