Elixir of Life (Frankenstein)

My dreams were therefore undisturbed by reality; and I entered with the greatest diligemce into the search of philosopher's stone and the elixir of life." (23)

The elixir of life was sought to restore youth. Mary Shelley connects the elxir of life to Frankenstein through the belief of recreation and restoring human life when creating the monster.
