Read the excerpt from Frankenstein; or, the Modern Prometheus, and answer the question that follows.

No one can conceive the variety of feelings which bore me onwards, like a hurricane, in the first enthusiasm of success. A new species would bless me as its creator and source; many happy and excellent natures would owe their being to me. Pursuing these reflections, I thought that if I could bestow animation upon lifeless matter, I might in process of time (although I now found it impossible) renew life where death had apparently devoted the body to corruption. These thoughts supported my spirits, while I pursued my undertaking with unremitting passion
