Entry 2
The Two Fundamental Characteristics of the Philosophy of Enlightenment are: 1) faith in the European Reason and human rationality to reject the tradition and the pre-established institutions and thoughts; 2) Search for the practical, useful knowledge as the power to control nature. Dr. Frankenstein studies very hard and try to collect any information that he can get to approach his successful. This is just like the second characteristic of the Philosophy of Enlightenment. "I prepared myself for a multitude of reverses; my operations might be incessantly baffled, and at laast my work be imperfect, yet when I considered the improvement which every day takes place in science and mechanics, I was encouraged to hope my present attempts would at least lay the foundations of future success." (155)Victor does not worry about fail, he believes that he can do it.
