Short story showcase

Discussion of Nathaniel Hawthorne's Dr. Heidegger's experiment

Humanities

"Was Dr. Heidegger just an eccentric old gentlemen? Hawthorne's readers in the 19th century looked for the moral in the story; there may be a very different moral for today's readers-- the danger of interfering with nature's laws? The film stimulates discussion without promoting just one point of view." - Summary from Worldcat.
