when Victor's father says "Ah! Cornelius Agrippa! My dear Victor, do not waste your time upon this; it is sad trash." does he say it because it is outdated, or because he doesn't believe/care for science stuff? reflecting the romanticism movement? how can I relate it to romanticism or age of enlightenment?

William Godwin's (Mary Shelley’s father) belief in chance encounters as an inevitable aspect of education is seen in Victor's discovery of the alchemists and how he responds to his father's comments.
"Ah! Cornelius Agrippa! My dear Victor, do not waste your time upon this; it is sad trash."
