Frankenstein-Victor

"I might infuse a spark of being into the lifeless thing that lay at my feet. I saw the dull yellow eye of the creature open; it breathed hard, and a convulsive motion agitated its limbs." (pg. 35)


Victor Frankenstein is the true meaning of a mad scientist. He became obsessed with science when he witnessed the strike of lightning hitting a tree. He then got the BRIGHTEST idea to create life. However, that was the biggest mistake he could have made. When he was travelling, Robert Walton took him into his boat. Robert describes him as a kind gentleman who had madness in his eyes. Frankenstein is one of the main characters. We know of his life and of his desires. He resembles Robert in a way because they are both crazy over their goals and do everything they can tp accomplish it. For instance, Victor loses his health over the mess. HE spent all his time creating the life, and then when he is finished, he wishes he never did it. He becomes pale and ill for being sleep deprived and sick with disgust of the monster.
