Where did Victor Frankenstein live?

After fleeing Frankenstein's home, he takes to the forest and the mountains, where he says that he lives on berries and roots. Soon he discovers the De Laceys' home, and lives in what I understand to be a small outbuilding attached to the side of the house - possibly a storage shed of some sort. He lives there for about three years. When he follows Frankenstein to Scotland, he presumably lives on one of the Orkney islands near to Frankenstein's own, and upon returning to Switzerland, one can only assume that he lives again in the mountains. By the end of the novel, he is continually travelling, as is Frankenstein, and so both live nowhere.


What is the story of Frankenstein about?

Frankenstein turns to forbidden sciences and discovers how to recreate life. When he does, however, he believes that he has created a monster and flees. The monster chases him and demands that he creates a "mate" for him. Frankenstein almost does, but winds up refusing. The monster kills everyone close to him. He turns to pursue the monster. He dies. A sailor finds his written works and tries to continue the quest. the book ends.


In the movie Young Frankenstein why does a horse whinny when the name Frau Blucher is said?

From: http://german.about.com/library/blgermyth02.htmTurns out that director Mel Brooks was just having some fun with a classic cinematic "villain" gag from old melodramas. There is no real logic for the horses' neighing, since most of the time there is no way they could even see or hear Frau Blucher or the people saying her name. Now you can just enjoy Young Frankenstein-without any dopey "glue" myth.From: me. I'm sure years ago I saw an old Frankenstein movie where the horses whinnied every time the name Frankenstein was mentioned. I take it the pun is on that one. If I just could remember the name of that movie.

What does it mean when a boy your not going out with bites you on the arm?

It could mean anything really... does this boy have a history of weird behavior? If so I would guess it doesn't mean anything. If he doesn't then I guess this could be his weird way of flirting with you... Or if he's a good friend, this might just be a sign he's comfortable with you and not necessarily a flirting tactic.
