How was victor Frankenstein selfish?
One, he created the monster. He did out of pure self-indulgence, a desire to wield the power of life. His lack of contact with his family, his stealing corpses from gravesites...this points to a purely selfish need to discover knowledge. Two, once his creature is living, he immediately runs away, claiming self-preservation. In reality, he's just so disgusted by the sight of it, he leaves it all alone in the world, no more capable of taking care of itself than a child. So he's basically shirked all responsibility, leaving his creation to fend for itself. Three, he repeatedly withholds information and even lies concerning his creation.
