This unhappy person had effected such a transformation by devoting himself, for seven years, to a constant analysis of a heart full of torture, and deriving his enjoyment thence, and adding fuel to those fiery tortures which he analyzed and gloated over.
Instead of devoting himself to medicine he has taken up a new practice. Hawthorn writes this section as if he were a doctor. The language analysis and analyzed just scream that to me and makes me wonder whether or not Hawthorn was the creator of the first mad scientist/doctor.
Zack - what is the quote or section you are referring to? Who is this unhappy person?
