Much to learn....

"I seemed to have lost all soul or sensation but for this one pursuit" (pg. 33) This is one line that demonstrated Victors obsession over creating life. From this line, one, out of numerous, theme is shown. Victor allows his passion to take over his life as he spends day and night for months upon months working on creating his monster. This show us the dangers of an obsession. Victor always upheld a passion for the sciences throughout his childhood and teenage years and then when he entered college. While he had this passion, he was happy in what he was doing and enjoyed it thoroughly. However, as soon as he became obsessed with his passion, he turns into a lifeless being. This shows how we have to control these desires to have obsessions becuase they are unhealthy. However, when he finally created his monster, he cannot accept what he has done and he abandons it resulting in the possible murder of William. This is another example of a theme present in the novel. We must accept responsibility for our actions. Anything that comes from a result of us is our responsibility and we must control it unlike Victor's actions after creating the monster.
