Publisher Description
Hawthorne approached the Romantic notion of the ability of science to destroy art (or beauty) in the form of fictive "horror stories" of biological research out of control. This story is the best of that group. A devoted scientist marries a beautiful woman with a single physical flaw: a birthmark on her face. Aylmer becomes obsessed with the imperfection and his attempts to remove it via his scientific skills, thus rendering his bride perfect.

All-time favorite
My all-time favorite story by Hawthorne! This story is so timeless that it seems even MORE RELEVANT TODAY than when it was written! How is that possible! It so addresses our obsession with perfect bodies and plastic surgery. I highly recommend this classic short story.
