Literary Analysis of Symbolism in "The Birthmark"

This article shows the symbolism of the methods of science shown to Georgiana and how they reflected in what she thought of herself and what others thought of her.  Something I found interesting was that it brings up the flower that Aylmer showed her, and mentions it being said as being perfect but when she picked it, it died.  This shows the fact that when she tried to pick a perfect, she causes it to die, which shows the imperfection in humans.
