Description

First class on Frankenstein, but mainly via Byron (creating another being whom we endow with our own feelings' dearth) and The Witch of Atlas (Percy's creation of a visionary artificial person).  The preface to Frankenstein: writing about experiences that as of yet found no true echo in your heart.  (This is like Wordsworth in "Resolution and Independence" - the gladness of youth makes it possible to write well and deeply of despondency, because you're not destroyed by your own experience of it.  But I don't quote Wordsworth in the class.)  What it means that the moster has yellow eyes.
