Dr. Frankenstein

While reading this novel, Victor, besides being the main character, stood out to me the most. His whole life changed when he created the monster and didnt want to fess up to take the blame for it's actions. In the beginning of Victors studies he shut himself off from the social world as well as his family which is what he did at the end of the story too. Alot of people were felling sorry for the monster, but to me, I personally felt sorry for Frankstein because he simply had a passion for life, creating life, and the science behind life. He didnt know that creating life within his monster would have a negative outlook. How was he supposed to know that creating the monster would result in the death of his brother, best friend, and wife, as well as contribute to two other deaths? In science there are consequences to everything but at first no scientist ways out the pro's and con's of what COULD happen, all they are processing is how famous a discover will make them.
