Please help, I need this done by tomorrow! - From the story "Dr. Heidegger’s Experiment"

Many have questioned whether Hawthorne meant for the elixir to be a truly miraculous

drink from the Fountain of Youth, or a deceptive concoction meant only to convince the

drinkers of its miraculous effects. What do you believe? What details from the story support

both interpretations? Does this detail even matter?

How does the author use the character of the nurse to develop the social issue of gender inequality? the nurse’s willingness to take care of nora when nora was little demonstrates a woman’s ability to do difficult work. the nurse’s need to give up a child in order to have a job demonstrates a woman’s inability to support herself. the fact that the nurse’s child wrote to her as a young girl and as an adult demonstrates a woman’s ability to keep friends forever. the nurse’s assurance to nora that her children ask for her often demonstrates women’s role in health care.
