?The Birthmark? Is a Psychological Story          

 
    The psychological dimension of Nathaniel Hawthorne?s writing, typical of his best short stories, is well demonstrated in his tale ?The Birthmark.?

 

Frederick C. Crews in ?The Logic of Compulsion in ?Roger Malvin?s Burial?? explores the psychological drama that prevails in Hawthorne?s short stories:

 

. . . I chose this one tale to analyze because it illustrates the indispensability, and I should even say the priority, of understanding the literal psychological dramas in Hawthorne?s fiction. Like all of his best tales, this one is packed with symbolic suggestions and invite a moralistic reading, and the problem it explores appears to be a problem of ethics. Yet a scrupulous examination of the main character?s motives reveals that Hawthorne has approached his subject on a deeper level than the ethical ? that he has not asked what someone in a certain predicament should do, but rather how a man may become the victim of unconscious hypocrisies over which he has no ethical control at all (111).
