"Winzy - furious at the coquettish nature of his fickle love - drinks his master's elixir in the expectation that it will cure him of loving her evermore. Instead, he discovers that he has been more cursed than blessed: by taking the elixir, the hapless assistant Winzy makes himself a monster among men who is unable to establish meaningful relationships with other human beings because they are ephemeral and prone to the vicissitudes of nature while he never grows old."More papers on Mary Shelley's "The Mortal Immortal":
