Question

This short story is used as a metaphor for the influence of antinomianism on works like Mary Rowlandson’s captivity narrative in a Susan Howe collection titled for it. This story concludes by suggesting that its protagonist “failed to look beyond the shadowy scope of Time to find the perfect Future in the present.” In this story, the “gross Fatality of Earth” is symbolized by the “hoarse” chuckle of a shaggy servant who is addressed (10[1])as an “earthly (10[1])mass” and a “man of clay.” (10[1])A woman in this story leaves the sweet-smelling rooms she’s been confined to and intrudes on a “furnace-room” where her husband works with his assistant Aminadab. (10[3])After (10[2])testing it on a blotchy (-5[1])geranium, (10[2]-5[1])a woman in this story drinks an elixir (-5[3])meant (-5[2])to destroy (10[1]-5[1])the “Crimson Hand.” For 10 points, name this Nathaniel (-5[1])Hawthorne story (10[1])in which Aylmer tries to remove his wife (10[1])Georgiana’s title (10[2])blemish.
