A Reading Experience of Frankenstein

“warning about the effects of letting oneself be controlled by ambition and loosing control over its own possibilities.” (Mary Shelley) Guiding Quotes "I appeared rather like one doomed by slavery to toil in the mines, or any other unwholesome trade, than an artists occupied by his favorite employment.” (Victor)

"You have burdened your memory with exploded systems, and useless names.” (Victor’s Professor at University) “Two years passed in which I paid no visit to Geneva, but was engaged heart and soul, in the pursuit of some discoveries, which I hoped to make.” (Victor)

“He is often overcome by gloom, and then he sits by himself, and tires to overcome all that is sullen or unsocial in his humor.” (Henry Clerval) “Winter, spring and summer, passes away during my labors; but I did not watch the blossom or the expanding leaves-sights which before always yielded me supreme delight, so deeply was I engrossed in my occupation.” (Victor)

"Usually, in daily life, people live in a solitude from which they try to escape by means of imagination and discourse. However, this presence which corresponds to life is the opposite of imagination. The encounter that allows the self to rediscover itself is not a ‘cultural’ meeting, but a living encounter; it is not a speech, but a living "fact"— which, of course, may emerge even by hearing someone speak; however, it is always a matter of a relationship with something living, not an ideology or a discourse disconnected from the force of life.” (Luigi Giussani)
