Why victor Frankenstein wanted to create life?

Answer 1

Viktor Frankenstein wanted to become a god and create life. Frankenstein hated death after his mother passed away, so he set out to try and overcome death so that mankind could live forever. The result of this was The Creature.

Answer 2

Victor Frankenstein creates the monster for the sake of pure glory, for immortality, both in name and literally. He had become consumed by his quest for greatness, a mission to have his name passed through generations as the man who had created life. He also creates the monster for the idea of being able to bestow life upon himself. Should he be successful in learning how life worked, he would be able to apply his studies to himself and live for eternity. Truly, his motives were selfish, and as he created the monster, he thought nothing of what he would do with the monster after it was created, and bore absolutely no responsibility to it.

Answer 3

Frankenstein felt that he could defy nature and use science to break the boundaries of life and death. The monster was his magnum opus (his greatest work), however was imperfect, and rather than being his masterpiece, it was an abomination. This is likely due to his lack of experimentation with previous subjects (i.e. the monster was Frankenstein first attempt at instilling life into a composition of death parts).

This leads to a strong literary critique of the way Frankenstein attempts to use science to defy nature; and the reason it is widely regarded as the first work of Science Fiction.
