Gus Barry: Young Victor

Quotes 

• [first lines] 

  Young Victor : [young Victor Frankenstein quotes a William Wordsworth poem when finding his dead dog as a child, narrating]  'There was a time when meadow, grove, and stream / The earth, and every common sight / To me did seem, Apparell'd in celestial light / The glory and freshness of a dream / It is not now as it hath been of yore / Turn wheresoe'er I may / By night or day / The things which I have seen I now can see no more.'

• [young Victor Frankenstein talks with his mother Caroline Frankenstein] 

  Young Victor : When the poets write of death, it's invariably serene. I wonder if that's what it is really. This death, this ending of things.

  Caroline Frankenstein : Is it an ending though, Victor? Or merely a movement? A gesture toward something else.

• [young Victor Frankenstein watches his mother as she lays dying in her bed] 

  Young Victor : [young Victor asks his father]  Will she die today?

  Alphonse : No, no, lad. Of course not.

  Young Victor : Death is not serene.
