10. Frankenstein via Byron and The Witch of Atlas

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.
