In Mary Shelley's "Frankenstein," the narrator, primarily Victor Frankenstein, aims to explore the boundaries of scientific ambition and the quest for knowledge. He is driven by a desire to conquer death and create life, reflecting his obsession with understanding the secrets of nature. However, as the narrative unfolds, Victor's goals shift to seeking redemption and confronting the consequences of his actions, ultimately leading to a profound reflection on responsibility and the repercussions of unchecked ambition.

What do you admire or dislike about his goals for Frankenstein?

I admire the ambition of Frankenstein's goals, particularly his pursuit of knowledge and the desire to push the boundaries of human understanding. However, I dislike the ethical implications of his actions, as he neglects the responsibilities that come with creating life. His obsession leads to tragic consequences, highlighting the dangers of unchecked ambition and the importance of considering the moral ramifications of scientific exploration. Ultimately, his goals serve as a cautionary tale about the pursuit of knowledge without accountability.


Who was Frankenstein the doctor or the monster?

Frankenstein is the name of a scientist who tried to create a person. He worked tirelessly to accomplish this feat. It backfired on him when he created a monster. Most people think that Frankenstein is the name of the monster, Frankenstein is the scientist's last name. Although many people have come to believe that the monster's name is Frankenstein, the monster's creator is Victor Frankenstein. Victor Frankenstein is the main character in the novel Frankenstein by Mary Shelly. Not the moster as is popular belief. Victor created the moster, who remains nameless. Shelley later stated that the monsters name was Adam. Frankenstein is a monster that was made up from the body parts and organs of the dead, by Dr. Frankenstein himself. When the monster was complete Dr. Frankenstein shouted "It's Alive! It's Alive!" when actually Frankenstein was never really alive, because if you look over the five characteristics of life Frankenstein dose not have all of them so he could never have actually been alive. Frankenstein is the last name of the scientist who created the monster. The monster is never given a name. It can be assumed that Frankenstein is a fitting name for the monster, since he is, in a way, Victor's offspring, therefore should share his last name. However, nowhere in the novel does the monster get referred to as "Frankenstein." Also, the "it's alive" bit is true only of the movie. In the book, Victor runs away in fear when the monster comes to life.
