If power of imagination could transfer people to the time when Isaac Newton was born, they would stay in Grantham and watch the life of its citizen. It was a picturesque place among woods and graves, where sheep were pasturing, wheat and rye fields are spreading, and clover smell was ever lasting. Everything was perfect for the birth of this top man but for the sad saying. They say that the children who were born after father’s death possess miraculous power that they were able to use themselves and give it to others, that is, to cure people. It proved the Newton’s exceptional nature. As for his character, he was full of fantasy.
When his father was dead, the huge fields and the house were left for his wife and the son. Isaac –father remained the prosperous estate and there were no reasons to worry about. Newton’s mother wanted to see her son happy and satisfied with the life. But you never know what is going to happen. When Isaac Newton was only two years old, his mother left him for Barnaba Smith, a clergyman of about sixty, who was living close to their place. This marriage provided the family with extra money and Newton’s future life was guaranteed. As a result, a toddler stayed with his grandmother and Uncle James Eskow – they were living next door to the Newton’s. However, little Isaac didn’t want mother to leave him – it was a real tragedy for him, solitude and deserted. He was suffering very much and, as some researches ascertained, laid a print on his character development. His soul pain changed him and he showed such features as anger and hate. At the top of his misery he even wanted to fire his father-in-law’s estate and wished his death. Afterwards Isaac Newton was mocking at the prominent scientists, as Gook, Leibnitz and Flemstid.
