"So God created man in his own image;
in the image of God created he him;
male and female created
he them."
Genesis l. 27
"What is a man,
If his chief good and market
of his time
Be but to sleep and feed?
A beast, no more.
Sure he that made us with
such large discourse,
looking before and after
gave us not
that capability and God-like
reason
to fust in us unused"…
W. Shakespeare, "Hamlet", Act IV,
Sc.IV.
"One of the phenomena
which had peculiarly
attracted my attention
was the structure
of the human frame,and,
indeed, any animal
endued with life. Whence,
I often asked myself,
did the principle of life
proceed?
… After days and nights
of incredible labour
and fatigue, I succeeded
in discovering the
cause of generation and
life; nay, more I
became myself capable of
bestowing animation
upon lifeless matter.
…I doubted at first whether I should attempt
the creation of a being like myself, or one
of simpler organization; but my imagination
was too much exalted by my first success
to permit me to doubt of my ability to give
life to an animal as complex and wonderful
as man.
… No one can conceive the variety of feelings
which bore me onwards, like a hurricane,
in the first enthusiasm of success. Life
and death appeared to me ideal bounds, which
I should first break through, and pour a
torrent of light into our dark world. A new
species would bless me as its creator and
source; many happy and excellent natures
would owe their being to me…"
M. Shelley, "Frankenstein", chapter
IV
