In this excerpt, we can read the conclusion of Victor Frankenstein about science: in the 19th century, scientists pursue their studies at any personal or moral cost:

"With a confusion of ideas  only to be accounted for by my extreme youth and my want  of a guide on such matters, I had retrod the steps of nowledge  along the paths of time and exchanged the discoveries  of recent inquirers for the dreams of forgotten alchemists.  Besides, I had a contempt for the uses of modern natural  philosophy. It was very different when the masters of the  science sought immortality and power; such views, although  futile, were grand; but now the scene was changed.  The ambition of the inquirer seemed to limit itself to the annihilation  of those visions on which my interest in science  was chiefly founded. I was required to exchange chimeras of  boundless grandeur for realities of little worth.

Such were my reflections during the first two or three  days of my residence at Ingolstadt, which were chiefly spent  in becoming acquainted with the localities and the principal  residents  (..)"

When the objective of the science experiments is only the recognition, the need for making something original and spectacular, to be regarded by other scientists the results could be terrible. For example, the creation of the poor monster of Frankenstein story.

Did Tom Robinson ever have a chance at a fair trial?
lukranit [14]

Answer:

NO, not at all

Explanation:

Think about this. He was a black man going against an all-white jury during a highly prejudiced time in history. His destiny was determined the moment that he was accused of a crime. Out of all things, he was accused of assaulting and taking advantage of a white women. This was one of the highest forms of disrespect, and would not be tolerated. The jury didn't care about whether he actually did it or not. At this point in time, the word of a black man were worth as much as a fleck of dust...nothing. Even if he was not found guilty he would still experience major persecution simply for being accused. So no, sadly, Tom never stood a chance.
