If the study to which you apply yourself has a tendency to weaken your affections and to destroy your taste for those simple pleasures in which no alloy can possibly mix, then that study is certainly unlawful, that is to say, not befitting the human mind.True / False.

Answer: True.

Step-by-step explanation:

This sentence from Mary Shelley's Frankenstein conveys the idea that daring natural laws can lead to adverse outcomes.

For example, Victor Frankenstein gets so obsessed with human anatomy and physiology that he begins to seek the building of his monster, and by doing so he neglects his family and friends and all the joys they provided him. The main theme is that we are all ultimately responsible for our actions.
