In Hawthorne’s “The Birth-Mark

  In Hawthorne’s “The Birth-Mark,” discuss the significance of the symbolic “hand” on Georgiana’s cheek. Why does Aylmer have such an issue with it? Why does Georgiana agree to have it removed? Why does Aminidab think it is best left alone? Consider the hand’s description or you may also consider that Aylmer is going against "nature."
