Yes.

She wanted you to have this,

Victor. On your graduation.

And in it she has written:

"This is the journal of

Victor Frankenstein."

The rest of the leaves are blank, -

- to be filled with the deeds

of a noble life.

We'd better go in,

before they miss us.

Just a little while longer.

I don't know when we'll be

alone together again.

Oh, dear Victor!

- I'll miss you laughing at me.

- I'll miss you making me laugh.

How do brothers and sisters

say goodbye?

Perhaps they never have to.

I won't, if you won't.

Are you my sister?

Sister...

...friend...

...lover.

- Wife?

- Yes!

- Then come with me. Marry me now!

- No.

- Then I'll stay.

- I want so much to be your wife.

But as long as you're away,

I belong here.

I want to make this house live.

It will be home for our children.

You must go, and do

the great things you need to do.

I want you so much.

I'll be here when you return.

Each holiday. Every visit.

Then, on our wedding night...

Until then.

INGOLSTADT, 1793

- How was your journey?

- Very good, thank you.

- We've only got attic space...

- It's exactly what I'm looking for.

But there will be a great deal

of scientific equipment delivered.

I'm sure you appreciate the need

for a proper laboratory.

Putzi likes you.

This will be perfect.

"The foolish and vain

force their views by the rod."

"But knowledge is power

only through God."

Our motto. Easily forgotten

by you young men in a hurry.

But perhaps the greatest mistake

that all students make, -

- during their time here,

is to suppose -

- that they can ever have

an original or creative thought.

We have all imagined that

in our time.

But gentlemen, you are not

here to think for yourselves.

You are here to learn

how to think for your patients.

You must learn, therefore, to submit

to the laws of physical reality.

But surely, Professor...

- What of philosophical approaches?

- Philosophical?

Those of the imagination "and"

the intellect, as in Paracelsus.

Paracelsus?

An arrogant and foolish Swiss.

- Albertus Magnus?

- He was exposed 500 years ago.

- Cornelius Agrippa?

- A sorcerer. What is your name?

Victor Frankenstein.

Of Geneva.

Another Swiss!

Mr. Frankenstein, here at

the University of Ingolstadt -

- we teach the study of medicine.

Chemistry, biology, physics...

- We study hard science.

- Surely they can be combined...

We do not study the ravings

of lunatics and alchemists.

Their fanatical speculations

do not heal bodies or save lives.

Only science can do that.

Now, have we your permission

to continue?

Nice coat. Don't take it too hard.

He doesn't like public humiliation.

- I am not mad!

- Of course you're not.
