What is the relationship between victor Frankenstein and his parents?

In telling Robert Walton his story, Victor begins with his childhood and his parents--Caroline and Alphonse Frankenstein. He tells how his mother was always visiting the poor and how she rescued Elizabeth Lavenza from her adopted family to bring her home to him. He recognizes how doting and nurturing his parents are, and how utterly perfect his childhood is. The only negative thing he mentions is how his father reacts when Victor praises the works of Albertus Magnus, Paracelsus and Cornelius Agrippa. Alphonse tells Victor that he is wasting his time with these antiquated scientists without explaining why he felt this way. Victor mentions that had his father explained the "why," perhaps he would not be in the situation he was in at the time of the story telling. So, Victor recognizes that his parents were loving, nurturing, and doting parents. They gave their children their time, money, and encouragement to fulfill their dreams of education and goals. They did anything but abandon them after birth. Mary Shelley's definition of parenthood and the parent/child relationship included unconditional love and taking complete responsibility for the life created. Obviously, Victor did not see his role in creating the creature as a parent/child relationship until the creature himself points out this connection when the point of view shifts from Victor's to the creature's in chapters 11-13 of the book.

Why does Victor Frankenstein change his mind about making the monster?

Because his creature is monstrous in appearance. Victor also regrets tampering with nature and the natural order of things once he witnesses the anomaly that his monster has proven to be. However the reader can later perceive that though monstrous in appearance the creature is really sensitive, intelligent and vulnerably human. The creature also kills numerous members of Victor's family either directly or indirectly in his quest for vengeance against the creator who abandoned him and condemned him to a life of loneliness and suffering, thus fueling Victor's hatred for him.

What does new criticism have to do with the novel Frankenstein?

New criticism just analyzes a text for its structure rather than looking for historical or biographical meaning. So Mary Shelley constructed the novel by having: section for the Walton, then Victor's story, then the creature, then Victor again, and then ended with Walton. In a way one can say she did this to give the readers different perspectives on what actually happened, ie with the the point of view of the creature we actually start to feel compassion for him.
