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
