As with all 19th century literature it is long on description, setting and philosophy - many people now-a-days find that boring and hard to get through. You have to approach it with the attitude that it will require 'slow and careful' reading, not something that today's literary body is willing to do. If you can 'get-by' that or (like more elite readers) can appreciate it, then yes, it is quite in-depth and provocative.

Yes, Victor Frankenstein is insane, in fact he is the first real "mad scientist" in fiction. As a child, he was so surrounded by goodness and only the best things in the world, that as an adult he could not handle situations like human suffering in the real world. This, combined with his obsession of making the most important scientific discovery ever (immortality and resurrection of the dead), led him to lose his humanity and judgment. On top of that, the grief from his family and friends dying violently and tragically caused him to be absolutely insane.

Frankenstein is a tragic story because it is about a scientist named Victor Frankenstein whose mother died in giving birth to Victors little brother. when victors mother dies, he goes to her grave and he promises her that he will find the cure to immortality. he then proceeds to creating an immortal. he creates a human with body bits from dead bodies. he then puts a brain of one of the great scientist and brings the monster alive. when he sees the monster he doesn't think about the consequences about what can happen to the monster. victor was responsible for the monster but he abandoned it. the monster wants revenge so he goes to victors house and kills victors father and then he kills victors brother. the murder of victors brother goes to victors friends head. so the monster killed victors Father brother and friend. then on the wedding night of victor, the monster kills victors bride. now the monster has killed victor bride. then the monster wants victor to create him a bride which victor refuses. victor then brings back Elizabeth his bride, back to life. but then the monster wants Elizabeth Elizabeth doesn't want this and she sets fire to herself and then she burns victors whole house. Frankenstein is a tragic story because so many people died because of victors lack of responsibility towards his creation
