experiments and does not even care to try to learn from what he has done. This showing of recklessness and non devotion show that Frankenstein is not as good of a scientist as he thinks himself to be. Frankenstein shows that he has some of the aspects that would make up a father. His purpose is to be the father of a species that lives forever, and the monster that he creates can be viewed as his child. The monster has child like qualities because he shares some of the same qualities with his creator, or father like figure. Victor has given the monster aspects he wishes he had, most noticeable, immortality. But as humbling as an experience as this is, Victor feels as if the monster owes him something. He thinks that the monster is happy that Frankenstein brought him into existence. Once again this show’s Frankenstein’s desire of getting praise and attention from anyone possible. He tries to take on the role of a god that demands worship from his creations. He wants the power that comes with godly status, but he lacks the knowledge and intellect that an all powerful god would have to be able to rule over his creation. In some ways, Victor Frankenstein was successful and was able to actually achieve his goals. His name received attention for what he had done, although it was not the kind of attention that he had sought out to get and he probably had wished that it was not a name that made people think of him. He was not remembered for his success as a genius, but as a failure even though he did create a living creature. He did not fail in creating a living being, his failure was in the purpose that he created the monster. He did not have the right intentions inwhat he was trying to accomplish. His goals were too meager and he was too weak and finally realized that he was not as powerful as he thought that he was. He was not ready to handle all of the pressure that came with the burden of him knowing what he created...
