Frankenstein

I am reading Frankenstein by Mary Shelley. So far it is about a man Victor Frankenstein. Frankenstein has been sending letters to his childhood friend Elizabeth. Frankenstein is in Ingolstadt attending college. While at college, Victor is interested in the creation of life and where it comes from. One night he decides to create a creature. When he finishes his creature and brings it to life, he is scared of the way it looks and he tries to escape it. He goes to sleep but awakes to find his monster waiting over him.

VOCABULARY
Ardently- intense feeling
Reprobated- a wicked person
Physiognomy- the art of determining character or personal characteristics
Infallibly- absolutely trustworthy
