¡°DR. HEIDEGGER¡¯S EXPERIMENT¡± is another short story by Nathaniel Hawthorne, also published in his collection ¡°Twice-Told Tales¡± in 1835.
Dr. Heidegger invites four elderly friends to experiment with special water called the Fountain of Youth. When the elderly drink this water, they become younger, and they dance, sing, and enjoy the joy of regaining their lost youth.
In particular, a fight breaks out among the older people who have become younger over Mrs. Wicheli, whom they all once loved. After a fight, the container containing the spring water breaks and water flows out, and they quickly return to their old appearance.
Dr. Heidegger ends the experiment by conveying the lesson that no matter how happy the moment of regaining youth was, it cannot last forever and that no one can ultimately resist the flow of time.
However, the four old men leave, saying they will go to Florida and find the fountain of youth again. This is a part that shows human nature in which people cannot give up the foolishness of pursuing youth and pleasure.
The author emphasizes that the youth regained through this experiment is nothing more than a momentary illusion, and that the true value of life lies in the attitude of acknowledging and accepting the past years.
