Heidegger places the rose in the water so there could be
proof of the mysterious water’s power, but in the same act of proving its power
to his guests Hawthorne proves to us the power of the water because when the
rose regains life nobody was drunk or had even attempted to drink the water...
A couple of points that Hawthorne made led me to believe that the story
was indeed a true testament of the powers of the magical water...
The points I have made provided ample proof in my own mind to the notion
that this story in fact was not a delusionary tale, but rather a fictional tale
meant to be perceived as real...
As
it clearly written the story is not told from the stand point of the butterfly
so that it might be influenced by the drink, it is told from afar, and all who
were in the story, especially the Doctor, could testify that they witnessed the
rebirth of the insect as it happened to land on the head of the Doctor...
A final example of the water’s power should not be sought any farther
than the last few pages upon which it can be found that the life of a deceased
butterfly was once again made possible by the healing nature of the water...
At this point I will point out that it is at this exact
moment where the issue of reality versus illusion begins to take shape...
Of course the overriding theme of the story dealt with the ethical
dilemma of changing old age into youth, still a major part of how the story was
interpreted involved a personal decision on how you took the story; as literal
or figurative...
Heidegger’s Experiment: Reality or Illusion
In Nathaniel Hawthorne’s short story Dr
...
After the first drink of the potion until the last, I was still led to
the opinion that what the guests were experiencing was in fact real and
completely genuine...
I would say his reasoning for dividing us would be to point out that while it
may be real or a delusion it’s ethical and moral message should be clear cut to
everyone
