Interpretations
A number of different readings of "The Birthmark" are possible based on different literary approaches, including biographical readings, feminist readings, and psychological readings. How each type of critic would approach the work would depend as much on the critic's own perspective as on his/her literary school of thought, and it is interesting to looking at different views on the same work for comparison. Here I have summarized one example of each of three perspectives, based on three different literary critics' readings of "The Birthmark."Click to redirect:
