Obssed

It would be easy to just say that Victor’s creation was the monster because it wasn’t really human, having been created from stolen body parts, a creature that takes innocent lives and destroys without a bit of regret. But what caused the creature to behave this way? The creature was a created by the true monster of this story. Victor was a man unable to understand the meaning of what he was doing, a man possessed with fame and fortune, an irrational man who had no respect for family, friends, or the beauty of life which what I had seen to be his obsession. Victor was a spoiled child, raised in a world of privilege by doting parents where he was never made to accept responsibility for his actions, and from an early age thought the world revolved around him: “Much as they were attracted to each other…I was their plaything and their idol, and something better - their child, the innocent and helpless creature bestowed upon them by Heaven…”(Shelley 40). Victor didn’t care for family or friends and felt that they were not as important as his desire to learn about science, “…I was capable of a more intense application, and was more deeply smitten with the thirst for knowledge“(Shelley 43). Although Victor had everything and got everything he had this big obsession of recreating life.
