Describe how Frankenstein becomes ill and is nursed by his friend, Clerval.Thanks ;)

Victor Frankenstein has a surprise visit by his friend
Henry Clerval the day after the monster came to life. Frankenstein ran into Henry in the
town and as the two walk back to Frankenstein's place he grows more and more nervous
about Henry seeing the monster. He narrates:

"My hand was already on the lock of the door
before I recollected myself. I then paused; and a cold shivering came over me. I threw
the door open..."



I think
Victor so worked himself up in fear about Henry seeing the terrible creation that Victor
made, that Victor made himself sick. As the two continue through the house, Victor
imagines he sees the monster, but the monster isn't there. Henry assumes the worst of
Victor and begins to nurse him.


Although Clerval had
finally convinced his father to let him study the great books at this university,
Clerval ended up spending this semester tending to the needs of Victor. This illness of
Victor's was very much about the monster, but Henry kept assuming Victor had an
overactive imagination. Clerval finally gets Victor to read some letters from
home.

Calculate tan(x-y), if sin x=1/2 and sin y=1/3. 0

We'll write the formula of the tangent of difference of 2 angles. tan (x-y) = (tan x - tan y)/(1 + tan x*tan y) ...
