Frankenstein Flashcards
What may not be expected
in a country of eternal light?
You seek for knowledge and wisdom as I once did; and I ardently hope
that the gratification of your wishes may not…sting you, as mine has been
I preferred glory to every
enticement that wealth placed in my path
Inestimable benefit which I shall confer
on all mankind to the last generation
I bitterly feel the want
of a friend
But I shall kill
no albatross
One mans life or death were but a small price to pay
For the acquirement of knowledge
He strove to shelter her, as a fair exotic
is sheltered by the gardener
I was their plaything and their idol…their child…deep consciousness of what they owed
towards the being to which they had given life
I was so guided by a silken chord that all
seemed but one train of enjoyment
A crown of distinction on her head…none could behold her without looking on her
as of a distinct species
Looked upon Elizabeth as mine-mine to protect, love and cherish…
she was to be mine only
Elizabeth was of a calmer and more concentrated disposition… I was…
smitten with the thirst for knowledge
It was the secrets of
heaven and earth that I desired to learn
She was the living spirit
of love
Father had taken the pains to explain to me the principles of Agrippa had been
entirely exploded
Imbued with a fervent longing to penetrate
the secrets of nature
Strive to act
the comforter to us all
Make the reader dread to look round, to curdle the blood
and quicken the beatings of the heart
