 Who Was the Inspiration for Dr. Frankenstein?
In 2002, while researching the influence of science upon the poetry of Percy Shelley, Chris Goulding, a Ph.D. student at Newcastle University, found historical documents that indicated that the model for Victor Frankenstein was Dr. James Lind (1736–1812), Shelley's scientific mentor at Eton in 1809–10.
Lind had become fascinated with the ability of electrical impulses to provoke muscle movement in the legs of dead frogs, and he was quite likely the first scientist in England to conduct experiments similar to those that enabled Dr. Frankenstein to focus electricity from lightning and bring his monster to life.
Percy Shelley was interested in science, and Goulding points out passages in Mary Shelley's unfinished biography of her husband wherein she commented that Percy often spoke of the great intellectual debt that he owed to Dr. Lind.

 :: Welcome to Manila Bulletin Online ::
Stanley Ho is probably bored with all this but, for all we know, a blase business magnate like him may not be totally impervious to the perplexing business ethic of the current dispensation.
A pragmatist, Dr. Ho is already in good terms with the very spinmasters who had projected him as the devil incarnate with a diabolic get-rich scheme at the expense of public morals.
