The Birthmark

In The Birthmark from Nathaniel Hawthornes Tales, Hawthorne confuses the indorser by introducing the fiction in a wordy and oerwhelming manner. The introduction leaves the reader confused and wondering why an author would begin a story this way. The first part of the introduction basically uses an extra amount of vocabulary to tell us a curt background; there is a scientist who r ever soes his work and managed to marry a beautiful untried woman. The latter(prenominal) part of the introduction is much indecipherable, leaving the reader confused. Surprisingly, what lies in this jumble of words actually maps out exactly what happens in the story.
Hawthornes introduction feels to a greater extent like a conclusion; it is tho decipherable afterwards the rest of the story has been read. He reveals his messages without us knowing, introducing the story, but non giving it away. He does all of this in the last cinque sentences of the introduction:
In those days when the comparatively recent stripping of electricity and other kindred mysteries of Nature seemed to open paths into the surface area of miracle, it was not unusual for the love of science to rival the love of woman in its depth and absorbing energy.



The higher(prenominal) intellect, the imagination, the spirit, and even the heart might all find their pleasing aliment in pursuits which, as some of their ardent votaries believed, would ascend from one step of powerful intelligence to another, until the philosopher should lay his draw on the secret of creative force and perhaps manage new worlds for himself. We know not whether Aylmer possessed this degree of credence in mans ultimate control over Nature. He had devoted himself, however, too unreservedly to scientific studies ever to weaned from them by any second passion. His love for his young wife might prove the stronger of the two; but it could only be by intertwining itself with his love of science, and uniting the strength of the latter to his own (Hawthorne 1).
