NOTES
partly urged by curiosity
"Partly from curiosity" Victor wandered into Professor Waldman's lecture and thence into the scientific career that culminated in the birth of his Creature (I:2:14). As this instance may indicate, the import of this essential human attribute for good and bad—other examples will be found in I:L1:2, I:L4:11, I:L4:31, I:1:22, and I:7:1—has been emphasized throughout the first volume of Frankenstein.
