Detailed explanation-1: -He became fascinated with the power of electricity when he saw a tree split by a lightening bolt. The death of his mother prompted Victor to search even more vigorously for the secret of life.
Detailed explanation-2: -Victor sees how the lightning has the power of destruction when a tree near their home is destroyed from a lightning strike. This confirms his belief that electricity and “galvanism” are worthy subjects for further study.
