What significance does Cornelius Agrippa have in the novel? pg. 70

# data[].attributes.body
@jaeden I believe he has become "mad." I think anytime you succeed in giving something artificial life, you cross the line to "mad"

# data[].attributes.body
@Jayden, I feel like he has become mad because he's created a monster out of other body parts from different creatures. When I picture a mad scientist, Dr. Frankenstein is literally exactly what I imagine.

# data[].attributes.body
@Jaeden I don't think so. he is just socially inept because he is so smart. That is why he seems so "mad"

# data[].attributes.body
Since Victors mom died, Describe whether or not it was easier for him to go off to college and be alone.

# data[].attributes.body
Has Frankenstein become "mad" despite his efforts in not becoming so? (Pg.53)

# data[].attributes.body
@Kenz, If he hadn't read those books, he probably would have never gone on to study the subject indefinitely.

# data[].attributes.body
@Zach Dr. Frankenstein is trying to say that anyone who isn't as invested in science as he is. I believe it is partly his ego talking also.

# data[].attributes.body
@McKenzie

I think maybe if he wouldn't have read those books as a child he wouldn't have been introduced to it initially. I also believe when his father made fun of the philosophers he was reading about it pushed him to want to be able to show his father he was wrong

# data[].attributes.body
@Zach he meant that you can only know what hes feeling after you your self have done it

# data[].attributes.body
@Zach, He basically meant that if you aren't experiencing the science that you are studying, then it won't be an interest to you. If you have experienced science, then it will excite you and spark your curiosity.

# data[].attributes.body
@Zach, I think he feels that unless you have created/studied/observed science, then you cannot conceive of the things it can posses or entail.

# data[].attributes.body
Evaluate what Dr. Frankenstein meant when he said "None but those who have experienced them can conceive of the enticements of science." pg 47

# data[].attributes.body
Determine if Frankenstein had not read the books by Cornelius Agrippa as a child, would he have been so obsessed with old science and the electrical current in the human body?

# data[].attributes.body
@Iverson, Victor decides he's more interested in the body and how it works. He takes his studies home with him and begins a project to bring a dead creature back to life using electricity.

# data[].attributes.body
@Iverson, Because he felt that those fields were more interesting, and he developed a liking to his professor of that study.

# data[].attributes.body
@Matt, The death has caused turmoil between Frankenstein and his father because of so much "despair." The rest of the family is in mourning, and Victor is supposed to be comforting them, however, he's too depressed.

# data[].attributes.body
How is the death of sweet little William affecting the Frankenstein family? Is it making them become closer, or causing them to become distanced from everything? (pg. 91)

# data[].attributes.body
Why did Victor ditch natural philosophy and start to study Chemistry and Anatomy and Death/Dying?

# data[].attributes.body
@Matt I think it was a good and bad idea. it was a good idea because he studies all the time, but it was a bad idea because now he wants to do something crazy like create a new species.

# data[].attributes.body
@Matt He said that his education as a child was neglected, so to get a good education, they sent him to Inglostadt. Being alone in Inglostadt was not good because it allowed him to focus all of his time on trying to give life to an artificial creature, which ends up backfiring on him.

# data[].attributes.body
@Zach, he does not want to destroy any good luck.

# data[].attributes.body
@Matt His mother was dead at the time he left for town for school. His father wanted him to get a good education because they could afford it. that is what most wealthy families did with their children. I do not think Dr. Frankenstein leaving home was a good idea because he then became obsessed and completely involved in his work. if he had not been away from home he would not have had enough time to create the creature.

# data[].attributes.body
@Zach, In The Ancient Mariner there is a great evil beast called the albatross. Walton is basically explain that his journey will be much safer than that of the story in the Ancient Mariner.

# data[].attributes.body
@tealovingsoccerstar He includes it because he wants to make a comical reference and lighten the mood so it is not such a depressing letter.

# data[].attributes.body
@Zach He includes that because killing an albatross is bad luck, and the spirits will haunt you.

# data[].attributes.body
@Zach

Well in the albatross story, the man who is guilty of killing the albatross is then hated and gets no respect from his sea mates. Maybe Walton means that he think before he acts and respect those around him.

# data[].attributes.body
@Matt, Victor's parents are a very sophisticated family, and their son having the most knowledge that he can have is beneficial to the family and the person.

# data[].attributes.body
Analyze why Walton includes the phrase "I shall kill no albatross" in his letter to Margaret. (Pg 15)

# data[].attributes.body
Analyze why Dr. Frankenstein's parents encouraged him to go to college in Ingolstadt. Do you think it ended up being a good idea for him to leave the town and be alone in Ingolstadt?

# data[].attributes.body
@Drew I believe because Dr. Frankenstein cannot prove it was his monster, and because he does not want to take the blame for William's death, he will not stop Justine's execution. Because this story is told as if it already happened so we know Dr. Frankenstein does not take Justine's place.

# data[].attributes.body
@BigGiantRedHead Victor wanted to create a new species because he wanted to do something that has never been done before. He ends up regretting it.

# data[].attributes.body
@Drew I don't think he will because he does not have the will power to come forth knowing that he will be the one put to death instead of Justine, and because he doesn't I read ahead

# data[].attributes.body
@Drew, I think Frankenstein will not confess to creating the thing that killed William. He is far too embarrassed and scared to have others find out what he has done. His family would hate him and the entire town would lose respect for him.

# data[].attributes.body
@Jaeden The power of electricity is important to Victor because he later ends up using his knowledge to bring artificial creatures to life. At the young age he learned of electricity he never would have guessed that it would become the source of his distress.

# data[].attributes.body
@Drew, Frankenstein did not confess to save Justine, although I'm sure it had crossed his mind. I believe that he felt he had more to live for because he is the one in charge of making his family happy, and also he is the one that created the monster that is rampaging his loved ones. He maybe feels that he's the only one to stop it.

# data[].attributes.body
Predict whether Dr. F will confess about the creature to prevent Justine from being put to death.

# data[].attributes.body
@Zach I feel like he does not have any affection for his sister. I think he is just being extremely nice and gentle with her because he misses her and his family.

# data[].attributes.body
@Tyler, Frankenstein's father taught him about basic natural sciences, while his professors were much more in depth and knowledgeable about the subjects.

# data[].attributes.body
@Matt Dr. Frankenstein feels responsible for William's death because he believes his creature killed William. Dr. Frankestein created this monster, found it frightening, and left it. After this he chooses to forget about the creature. He feels that if he would have dealt with the creature right away, maybe William wouldn't be dead.

# data[].attributes.body
@Matt because he is the one who created the monster so therefore by the transitive property he did in fact kill William

# data[].attributes.body
@Matt he realized right when he finished creating it, that it was ugly and he didn't really want to deal with it. He ended up just leaving it.

# data[].attributes.body
@Matt

He thinks that the creature he created has killed William and he created that creature. Therefore he believes it is all of his fault.

# data[].attributes.body
@MattSchmidt96theboss He created the creature that he is sure killed William. His reasoning skills tell him that if he had not given the "Wretch" life, William would still be alive.

# data[].attributes.body
Compare the teachings of Victor's Father to the teaching of his professers

# data[].attributes.body
@Matt, Victor feels that because he is the creator of the creature, that he is directly responsible for the death of William.

# data[].attributes.body
Why does Dr. Frankenstein directly call himself the murderer of William even though he's not the one to actually kill him? (pg. 96)

# data[].attributes.body
@SammyOle' well Samuel, I feel like this is holding him back from seeing his family. He is miles away from where they live and is completely caught up in his studies with no time to see his family.

# data[].attributes.body
@ Jaeden I believe it caused him to become fascinated with the idea and obsessed with it. It caused him to focus his entire life on that purpose.

# data[].attributes.body
Analyze if the conclusion to Walton's letters suggest a possible romance with his sister. (Pg 11)

# data[].attributes.body
@Drew Mary Shelley's childhood was painful. She was set aside after her mother died and sent away because her father did not want to upset his new wife.

# data[].attributes.body
Analyze the significance of Frankenstein's father teaching him about electricity at such a young age. (Pg.36)

# data[].attributes.body
@Matt Dr. Frankenstein regretted making the creature as soon as he was successful. I think the power to create life was too much for him to handle.

# data[].attributes.body
@Drew, he was avidly involved in science and study of old natural philosophers.

# data[].attributes.body
@Tyler Victor was sad when Caroline died but he had to go to college so he couldn't be with her as long as he wanted to. While he was in college he wanted to go home but was so focused on the study of chemistry that he never went home.

# data[].attributes.body
What was the narrators childhood like?

# data[].attributes.body
@matt I think the doctor regrets creating the creature at this point in the novel. that may change as we read. I think he realizes this when William is murdered.

# data[].attributes.body
@Iverson, he was trying to become the founder and find glory through his science, possibly to make his father proud?

# data[].attributes.body
@Iverson, Well, he was studying new things in Ingolstadt and you could tell he was becoming lonely. I feel like it was a way for him to cope with his losses and stresses as well as being lonely every day of his life.

# data[].attributes.body
@Matt yes I think he does regret it because right after he creates it, it looks terrible and he goes to bed and try's to just sleep it off but hen he wakes up and it is staring at him and he just runs away from it.

# data[].attributes.body
@Iverson He has the stature of an 8 foot tall man, and the book described him as having good muscle tone. He probably ran to Geneva with the incredible athletic ability we see him demonstrate by scaling the mountain's summit.

# data[].attributes.body
Do you think the doctor regrets creating the monster? If yes, then when did he realize that it was a mistake

# data[].attributes.body
Why did Victor try to create a new species?

# data[].attributes.body
@McKenzie Mary Shelley and Dr. Frankenstein are both obviously involved in the human body, with her stealing her husband's heart, and the doctor taking people apart and making enormous monsters.

# data[].attributes.body
Compare Mary Shelley to Dr. Frankenstein

# data[].attributes.body
Victor goes to college and is amazed with chemistry and other science. Explain whether or not this is keeping him from seeing his family.

# data[].attributes.body
@Jaeden

I think she said she was guilty because everyone around her was telling her to confess and she was pushed to confess

# data[].attributes.body
@Zach, Similar to Achilles, Walton goes through great lengths to try and make himself a hero, or become something to rememeber.

# data[].attributes.body
How did Caroline's death affect Victor and why was it an ill omen?

# data[].attributes.body
@Iverson @Jaeden Two years passes between the time Frankenstein creates the creature and when he sees it in Geneva

# data[].attributes.body
@Sam Olsen, creating a new species could be considered shooting for glory, but becoming obsessive could be considered "mad."

# data[].attributes.body
Justine has been threatened because everybody thinks she is the murderer. So instead of being condemned to death, she decided to confess to something she didn't do.

# data[].attributes.body
@Jaeden Because they needed someone to blame for the death and she thought it was best that she just take the fall for it.

# data[].attributes.body
@Iverson, he probably followed the family. Victor is his creator, they may share certain memories.

# data[].attributes.body
Compare Walton to other glory hunting characters in literature(pg 10).

# data[].attributes.body
Victor says he doesn't want to be a madman, but then explain whether or not creating a new species is considered a mad man.

# data[].attributes.body
How did the creature get to Geneva?

# data[].attributes.body
Hypothesize why Justine admitted to being guilty when she is clearly innocent. (Pg 94)
