Frankenstein Character Sketch

Victor Frankenstein starts off as a young sensitive and innocent boy, but over the course of the book he makes some huge changes. He goes from this acquitted boy to a mad scientist, whose goal is to create life from dead body parts that he has dug out of the ground. Only someone with a sick mind could imagine doing something such as this. Frankenstein has changed completely. He was completely committed to this project of his, so committed that he dropped reality. Frankenstein was a loner, he spent every waking minute on his new obsession. There was something wrong with Frankenstein, perhaps it was because he had such a perfect childhood and he finally snapped. He was so fascinated with the 'secret of life' and when he finally discovered it; he was not satisfied. In fact, Victor Frankenstein was ashamed and almost scared of what he has brought to life. It was uncontrollable. He was embarrassed and too proud to to admit that he was the creator of this monster. Throughout the story you read about the remorse and shame that Frankenstein feels, he no longer knows who he has become. He is so very different from the little boy he use to be; and that is scary for him to think about. The monster kills everyone who Frankenstein loves and that makes him realize that if it weren't for him, everyone that mattered would still be alive.
