differences. Nothing in Hester’s face had anything “for Love to dwell upon” (148) and her body was decaying in its loss of “Passion” (148) and “Affection” (148).

One highly publicized study that purported to demonstrate this was conducted in 1991 by former Salk Institute researcher Simon LeVay. LeVay studied the brains of cadavers or dead…
