EduPop! will explore various representations of teachers and educators as they appear in media: novels, movies, television shows, music, etc. Some representations are wonderful, some terrible but all are presented for fun!
M. Waldman
Mary Shelley – Frankenstein
1818
M. Waldman may not be an instructor who leaps to mind, but he is, nonetheless, a most critical one. A professor of Natural Philosophy with a specialty in Chemistry, Waldman was a teacher at the University of Ingolstadt when he encountered the young man who would become his star pupil: one Victor Frankenstein. It was Waldman who introduced Victor to the concept of alchemy and who became his mentor. Though he would later be shocked and horrified by Victor’s application of his theories, his contribution to Frankenstein’s obsession with reanimation cannot be overlooked.
Or forgiven…
Happy Halloween, all!
