- W6241908 abstract "Two horrific fates of individual fascinate Hawthorne: inheritance of some ill-gotten estate or evil condition, and subjection to scientific scrutiny or experimentation. Both these phenomena?the transmission of sins of fathers and commission of what Hawthorne called the Unpardonable Sin?recur in Hawthorne's stories as life-threatening physi? ological operations upon particular bodies. Tales such as Rappaccini's Daughter, Birthmark, and Ethan Brand make clear bodily, and indeed mortal, harm done by scientific pursuits for human perfection. Though seemingly removed from realms of such danger, bodies subject to inher? itance, like those subjected to investigation, are also put at risk. Inheritance can imperil individual as dramatically as experimentation does. Thus in The House of Seven Gables Pyncheon family members suffer from a number of maladies as a consequence of crimes of their founding ancestor against Matthew Maule. They are subject to infertility, to a fatal bloody cough, and to mesmeric susceptibility, all attributed to Maule's Curse. According to Hawthorne, family inheritance, an endowment both economic and moral, links persons to real property as well as to physical properties and characteristics, placing persons under power of their legacies. Seen this way, inheritance plot Hawthorne develops in The House of Seven Gables recapitulates mad scientist plots of tales,1 but with crucial difference that conditions of victimage dissolve in a happy, healthy, and prosperous ending for inheritors. In Hawthorne's writings, persons whose bodies and minds most suffer from experimentation and heritage are almost always female or feminized: Beatrice Rappaccini, Georgianna Aylmer, and Pyncheons?Alice, Hepzibah, and Clifford?belong to a roster of victims that also includes Priscilla, Zenobia, and Miriam, all of whom are seen in thrall to past.
