La voglia / The birthmark

The story delves into the destructive lengths people go to in order to achieve flawlessness. I wonder what personal or societal factors influenced this theme.

His obsession seems both tragic and understandable, raising questions about ambition and morality. I’d love to hear others’ thoughts on his motivations.

The dark, eerie tone amplifies the story’s message but also made me wonder how much of the mood was intentional in shaping our interpretation.
