Mary shelley: daughter of two famous novelists, mother: mary wollstonecraft (feminist) To be alive comes at a cost. In order to know life you must know it with death: the father never let her forget this, 1816 summer. Mary and her husband percy are vacationing with the friend. They were a scandalous couple as they ran off to europe together to elope. They seek refuge with lord byron in his broken down villa in. Byron and percy could talk forever, mary was left out amongst the great minds. Reads an article about luigi galivani who is an italian scientist who had been doing experiments on frogs. His assistance walks across the carpet in slippers with a scalpel. When he gives it to luigi and it touches the frog the frog"s leg twitches. Begins to think that life is only a material process.
