Alymer is a brilliant scientist and is well known in the science community. According to the narrator, He was very successful as an inventor and created many potions and perfumes but his experiments always fell short of his goals. He could never fully reach what he intended for, which was really his only flaw as a scientist. As a person, he has many flaws and is too worried about his love of science rather than the love of his wife. Georgiana, Alymer’s wife, is “the perfect wife” in the story. She’s smart, caring, and even beautiful. However, she has the slightest of flaws, a tiny red birth-mark in the shape of a hand on her left cheek. Alymer becomes so obsessed with the birth-mark, that it’s the only thing he sees when he looks at her. Once Georgiana’s birth-mark is removed, she is finally perfect, but then she suddenly dies. Although she became perfect, she was no longer of the mortal world because of her
