So yeah, while you are right that the creature was essentially a newborn in an adult body, it always confused me why he had no memories upon his creation.
Are you sure you’re not remembering that from an adaptation? ´Cause in the book Victor makes a point of not describing the process beyond vague allusions to chemicals.

Heh, it doesn’t bother me much. I just hope that if I correct people often enough I eventually won’t have to. Also people generally drop the ‘‘ar’’ or switch the the first ‘‘r’’ and the ‘‘y’’.

That neurotic mess couldn’t recognize the Hippocratic Oath if it spit in his face.
