The Birthmark

This Trinity Forum Reading features Nathaniel Hawthorne’s “The Birthmark,” with an introduction by William B. Hurlbut.

Price range: $5.00 through $10.00

We are pleased to present this Trinity Forum Reading, featuring Nathaniel Hawthorne’s “The Birthmark” with an introduction by William B. Hurlbut.

Written during the Industrial Revolution, Hawthorne’s “The Birthmark” is a remarkable short story that tells the tale of an ambitious scientist whose drive for perfection and desire for control ultimately destroys what he loves. This story further raises timeless questions about human limitation, the technological imperative, and the consequences of disordered love. Featuring an insightful introduction by Stanford University professor and bioethicist William Hurlbut, this reading helps navigate questions of humanity’s place in an increasingly technological world.
