What is the effect of using the word chimerical to describe the powers of the principles of Agrippa?

English
1 answer:
MAVERICK [17]3 years ago

I believe the correct answer is: It suggests the principles have the illusion of truth.

 

The effect of using the word chimerical to describe the powers of the principles of Agrippa in the line of Mary Shelly’s novel “Frankenstein”:

“If... my father had taken the pains to explain to me that the principles of Agrippa had been entirely exploded and that... the powers of Agrippa were chimerical... I should certainly have thrown Agrippa aside...”


Victor suggests that the principles have the illusion of truth, as chimera represents the deception or illusion of the mind. He wasn’t satisfied with the knowledge and scientific training he had and he wanted to apply himself to the more “rational theory of chemistry which has resulted from modern discoveries”.

So there's usually a passage that goes along with this question and answer choices and the one I had that corresponds with this question and the answers is:

"I've learned that it's the trials that bring out the best in us. Sure I miss dancing, but after the accident I had to find new ways to define myself. In doing so, I've discovered that I'm much more than a dancer. That was something I loved to do- but it's not all of who I am."

How can words change how a person feels about an everyday object or experience? Give an example
Luda [366]

Words can change how a person feels about an everyday object or experience by the adjectives describing it. For example, if you were looking at your toothbrush and someone described it as "bright, clean, and sturdy," all of those adjectives have positive connotations with them. However, if that same toothbrush was described as "wet, inflexible, and covered in toothpaste residue," the emotions surrounding that very same toothbrush have now shifted to something more negative.
