Answer:

The above question is relating to the book "The birth mark" by Nathaniel Hawthorne. Georgiana ultimately die because Alymer could not accept her as she was

Step-by-step explanation:

Alymer's obsession and consistent reminder with the birthmark on Georgiana's cheek lead her to her untimely death. He was obessed with extreme human perfection. Alymer's dreams of cutting the birthmark out of his wife's cheek (removing it like scraping the skin from an apple) and then continuing all the way to her heart made Georgiana lose it all and gives in to rather risk loosing her life than to continue with enduring Alymer's horror and distress that comes upon him anytime he sees her.

This made Georgiana to succumb to the experiments that Alymer tried on her to remove the birthmark which ultimately led to her dekise even though the birthmark fades away, it fades with Georgiana's life
