Nwoye likes the story of the Earth and the sky because it is one of his mother's favorite stories.
It is destiny that causes him to meet M. Waldman, who develops Victor's passion for the natural sciences of galvanism, electromagnetism, and alchemy. Victor might have been a good mathematician, if he were devoid of passion.
