Aylmer's real motives in Nathaniel Hawthorne's "The Birthmark" stem from his obsession with perfection and his desire to remove what he sees as a flaw in his wife's appearance. While he claims to want to enhance her beauty, there are underlying themes of control, arrogance, and a belief that he knows better than nature that drive his actions. These motives reveal deeper layers of Aylmer's character beyond his surface-level intentions.
