Epiphonies




In Chapter II we begin to learn of Victor's thirst for knowledge. As a child he would look around him in search for the science of life while his sister Elizabeth would look upon the world in a majestic, philosophical way. As time progress we learn that Their parents have had another child and so they choice to settle in their native land of Geneva with country house on the Eastern shore of the lake in belrive. As a child Victor was quite the introvert. He had only but one friend Henry Clerval. Victor said he had a Noble spirit. On a family trip when victor was 13 he came across a volume of works by Cornelius Agrippa. He then latter sought after Paracelsus and Albertus Magnus. This was his first "Epiphany".Then at the age of 15 Victor saw in a thunder storm lightning strike a tree.It was completely vaporized. Later on a scientist came out to the Frankenstein house. He is the one who gave Victor his second Epiphany.
