Read this line from Frankenstein: If, . . . my father had taken the pains to explain to me that the principles of Agrippa had be

en entirely exploded and that . . . the powers of [Agrippa] were chimerical, . . . I should certainly have thrown Agrippa aside. . . A chimera is a deception or fantasy of the mind. Why does the author use the word chimerical here?

BTW, Mary Shelley is the author of Frankenstein <span />
