SIR CHARLES WYVILLE THOMSON (1830--1882), Scottish naturalist, was born at Bonsyde, Linlithgowshire, on the 5th of March 1830, and was educated at Edinburgh University.
In 1850 he was appointed lecturer in, and in 1851 professor of, botany at Aberdeen, and in 1853 he became professor of natural history in Queen's College, Cork.
His health, never robust, was meanwhile giving way; from 1879 he ceased to perform the duties of his chair, and he died Bonsyde on the 10th of March 1882.

In 1897, JJ Thomson, through his work on cathode rays, discovered the electron and their subatomic nature, which destroyed the concept of atoms as being indivisible units.
Thomson believed that the electrons were distributed evenly throughout the atom, balanced by the presence of a uniform sea of positive charge.
However, in 1909, the gold foil experiment of Ernest Rutherford suggested that the positive charge of an atom and most of its mass was concentrated in a nucleus at the centre of the atom, with the electrons orbiting it like planets around a sun.

 The Demonic and the Grotesque
Consequently, the grotesque stays grotesque -- according to Thomson -- as long as the reader (or the observer) is capable of staying exposed to the incompatible emotions, without seeking relief in one of these "secondary responses" or "rationalizations" that resolve the conflict in favor of the laughable, the disgusting, or the pitiable.
Kayser; (quoted by Thomson, 1972: 18) suggests that "the grotesque is an attempt to control and exorcise ('zu bannen und zu beschwören') the demonic elements in the world".
Still, I believe, Thomson's reservation is well taken: "We may object also to the somewhat melodramatic over-emphasis on the 'demonic', which totally removes the fearsome aspect of the grotesque to the realm of the irrational -- almost supernatural" (Thomson, 1972: 18-19).
