Idea #1
➤ Could serve as foreshadowing for the rest of the novel?

★ Orientation: Introduce character and setting
➤ Character: Professor M. Krempe (natural philosophy)
➤ Setting: (FLASHBACK, starts when M. Krempe meets Victor for the first time and he reminds him of himself) Back in time, when M. Krempe was young and ambitious, about 25 years old (around 1740), at University, also studying the works and ideas of Cornelius Agrippa, Albertus Magnus, Paracelus and William Backhouse
➤ Confession: The reason he works so hard to stop Victor is because he was in the same position, only studying alchemy (transforming ordinary metals into gold) and realized what a waste of time it was after spending the majority of his early years devoted to the subject, before realizing his mistake and is now trying to prevent Victor from having the same fate and wasting his full potential as a respected scientist in a viable field, unlike the "mad scientist" he is currently seen as by some

★ Complication #1: provide details of what has happened to cause a change in usual routine
➤ Starts with M. Krempe as a young university student, a new friend (Anton Kirchweger) introducing him to the study of alchemy and pursuing the subject with him

★ Complication #2: provide details of what has happened to cause a change in usual routine
➤ M. Krempe becomes obsessed with the idea of transforming the metals into gold and becoming rich, he believes that if he can accomplish this feat he can become the richest man on earth, leading to his ultimate downfall, beginning to have hallucinations, believing Anton is after him and his studies (schizophrenia?)

★ Climax: realization, build tension to a point where the character is on the edge of success/failure
➤ M. Krempe kills Anton and after doing so, realizes how the obsession with his study drove him crazy

★ Resolution: bring the narrative to a close by reinforcing the ideas touched on in the narrative
➤ (back in present, inside M. Krempe's mind while being introduced to Victor for the first time) pleasantly introduces himself and resolves to do everything he can to draw Victor (a man he believes to have incredible potential and a brilliant mind) away from the same fate as he himself found
