Jumping Spider Quotes

Knowledge plays an incredibly large part of Mary Shelly’s novel, Frankenstein. I think that Victor’s obsessive and unhealthy search for knowledge is the true cause of his suffering. Not only does he neglect his friends and family while working to create the monster he puts his own health in danger. “I had worked hard for nearly two years, for the sole purpose of infusing life into an inanimate body. For this I had deprived myself of rest and health.” In this quote we see that Victor stops at nothing to find if he would be successful with his creation.

Earlier in the book, the author also uses Matt’s thoughts to characterize Teacher as being a little bit weird. From this quote we can figure out that Teacher is very excited and optimistic based on the amount of exclamations she uses. We know that she is very cheerful based on the way that she talks about how learning and reading are
