In science, a theory is the way a scientist would interpret facts. They always start off a theory with a simple hypothesis and…

stories: “The Birthmark” and “Rappaccini’s Daughter”; which show how nature and science can both be positive and negative. But while they are written by the same author and have the same general message, when looking deeply at the texts, a different theme and narrative can arise.
