Mary Shelley wanted Victor Frankenstein to learn the consequences of playing god and interfering with the natural order of life. She intended to caution against the dangers of scientific ambition without ethical considerations. Ultimately, Victor's downfall demonstrates the importance of responsibility and humility in the pursuit of knowledge.
