I re-read this today and it still made me sad. I want to listen and read more of Hawthorne's work, he was my favorite author in high school. I always enjoyed his commentary on women's agency and rights and their treatment by men/the patriarchy. (The Scarlet Letter/Young Goodman Brown are also great examples of this.)
This short story at its core is about the ethical use of science and I find that interesting.
