Victor Frankenstein as a scientist makes remarkable leaps in bound within the world of scientific study. He is able to create a living being, the fiend, which is something that no one has ever does before. Victor us quite talented in this regards, however as a father to the fiend he falls short. Victor shows no remorse and hates his creation not showing it a single but of affection. Upon it first coming alive Victor thought to himself, “breathless horror and disgust filled my heart,” (Shelley 58). Victor was horrified by his creation and abandoned him in his time of need, making Victor a horrible father figure. Contrary to this Victor was a somewhat good son. He was well behaved growing up and followed his parents wishes. While recalling his memories from 17 years old Victor explained, “my parents resolved that I should become a student at the university of Ingolstadt,” (Shelley 44). Victor followed through with this wish and went to college in in Ingolstadt, however he never made contact with his family. Victor slowly become distant and immersed himself in his studies.  Victor always had a soft spot for Elizabeth. He truly cared about her and for the most part was a good fiancé towards her. Having of grown up together, Elizabeth and Victor had developed a deep mutual bond. However, due to keeping his monster a secret from her it led to her ultimate demise. In retrospect, Victor Frankenstein was a man so ashamed of his own creation that it ruined his life and the life’s of many he cared about. (Joelie Gentry)

Victor as scientist: Victor was a great scientist that defied all expectations and discovered the way to animate objects. As any great scientist does, Victor studied long and hard in order to obtain the knowledge to animate objects. Even as another Professor told him that such a thing was not possible It made him want to experiment on it even more. Victor Frankenstein did not give up on his experiment even though some days were grueling and seemed like the experiment would not pan out. The experiment eventually worked and against all odds from that eras modern science Victor created a living being. We’re victor failed was that he thought he had created a monster, a fiend. Frankenstein failed his first experiment successfully. He animated an object but did not like the outcome.

Victor as father: There is nothing worse as a father and a father that leaves his creation or kids. When Victor Frankenstein created the creature and brought the creature to life Frankenstein is disgusted and scared of it instead of trying to talk to or studying it. Victor runs out of the room and goes on acting as if it’s not alive. The creature having  just been brought into the world must have been confused and wanting guidance and hoped that Frankenstein could give him it. Victor then shuns the creature and is afraid of it. Victor Frankenstein is a horrible father that abandoned his creation.

Victor as fiancé: Victor was not the best fiancé but not the worst Victor deeply loved Elizabeth and knew her very well because they grew up together. Victor welcomed her into the home when her mother died. From there they built a great relationship. Elizabeth cared deeply for Victor but he regularly did not tell her important things that ultimately lead to her demise. The creature that Victor created ultimately lead to Elizabeth’s death.

Victor was a great son when he was young and became a little foolish After he created the creature and came out of being sick. Victor followed all his parents commands when he was younger and as per their wishes went to college in Ingolstadt. Upon arriving there he, along with creating the creature, studied other topics but then became obsessed with creating the creature and only dealt with the creation. After the creature was created and victor Frankenstein overcame his sickness he got a letter saying that his dear brother William, had been murdered. He went back to Geneva and discovered that it was the monster he had created that killed William. He did not though give himself up like he should’ve but instead kept it a secret.

Victor as a son:

Victor is a son who is both mature and immature. He started out as a good son, following his father's instructions to get a higher education at the University of Ingolstadt. When he leaves for college after his mother's death, he is most concerned about his family. He was raised by loving parents, which hit him hard when his mother died. He was immature because of his actions, which resulted in the deaths of those he cared about the most. If that wasn't bad enough, he remained silent, causing his father even more emotional pain as a result of Justine's death. He did, however, adore his family and considers his childhood to be a happy one because of his parents' love and attention. But he failed to protect the people he cared about the most.

Victor as a scientist :

Victor has always been fascinated by science and philosophy since he was a child. Victor became more intelligent as a result of this, and he was determined to learn more. His desire to satisfy it drove him to go too far. He believes that with all of his technical knowledge and education, he can successfully carry out an experiment that no other scientist has ever attempted. That inspired him to create his creature, but when it comes to life, he abandons it. He was terrified of his creation, which made him even more afraid of doing anything scientific.

Victor as a father :

Victor as a father is the worst. Nothing justifies how Victor just left the scene as soon as his creature came to life. He abandoned his creation as soon as it came to life. Victor didn't even give his creature a chance as a father would. His creation reached out; he described it as “He might have spoken, but I did not hear; one hand was stretched out, seemingly to detain me, but I escaped and rushed down stairs" (59). Victor couldn't put up with the sight of his own creation and left. What Victor felt was fear, but throughout the novel the only thing that the creature wanted was to be loved. Victor is a terrible father because, in life, a father is expected to love and care for his child regardless of the circumstances, which Victor failed to do.

Victor as a fiance :

As a fiance Victor is loving and cares for Elizabeth like no other. Victor has a deep connection with Elizabeth. Elizabeth's mother died giving birth to her so his family adopted her.. Victor sees Elizabeth as, “ A being heaven-sent, my more than sister, the beautiful and adored companion of all my occupations and my pleasures” (36-37). This shows his love for Elizabeth, but it also demonstrates how his immature actions led to her death. He was aware of his surroundings on their wedding day because he knew his creation would appear at some point, but Elizabeth was killed. Her death resulted from him withholding crucial information from her. I do feel extremely bad for Victor, but he could’ve avoided this situation if he had just said something. He talked so much about her throughout the novel and how much he loved her as well as wanting to see her, that it hurt me too when she died.

Victor (Scientist):
Throughout the novel, we learn that Victor cares deeply about his education and about creating something that could be defined as impossible. Before early age, he had always wanted to continue his study at a university, and continue to grow intellectually. When studying at Ingolstadt University, Victor was able to grow relationships with his professors. Victor had always been a motivated, determined individual. It doesn't surprise me that when he does create a creature that is beyond human belief, Victor takes it for granted rather than being fulfilled with his creation. Victor would have made a great scientist if he could have put his ego aside and focused on the matter.
Victor (Father):
It is hard to describe Victor as a father. He had always cared more about the science and unknown aspect of being a scientist rather than actually caring for his creature when it finally came to life. It is no surprise that because of how horrible victor treated his creation, the creation would turn into a monster. The creature wasn't able to get the love that it needed from his "parent". Victor overall was a horrible father, not only because he had no interest in the creature after he came to life, but because he had blamed the issues that creature had on itself rather on him and his decision to abandon him.
Victor (Son):
Victor throughout the novel cared deeply about his father. At points, Victor acted very immaturely in his actions. For example, when Victor chose to abandon the creature, the creature killed his brother. Victor decided to act immaturely and not tell his father even though he knew his father was very sad about the event. Overall, Victor summarizes his childhood filled with great memories and also is grateful for his parents motivating him for higher education.
Victor (Fiance):
Overall Victor was a loving fiance. The only problem was that because of his love for Elizabeth, Victor acted using his immature ways in order to try to protect her from his creature. He had known his soon-to-be wife his entire life, which makes me believe that it hurt both of them when he tried to avoid her completely with no explanation. I definitely feel that Victor could have handled the situation a lot better, even if in the end it didn't work out, at least it would have been on good terms between them.

Victor as a son:
I believe Victor to be a great son, at least at the beginning. Later on he becomes immature, or stays immature (whichever you prefer). Victor's father and mother both encouraged their son to pursue higher education and he did so with a smile on his face, even after the passing of his mother. Despite being away from home, Victor still thought of his family and Elizabeth. However, after he made the creature, he began to drift further from his family. He wouldn't write back to them and only went home when the fiend murdered his younger brother. Sure, he went back which was a good thing, but he wouldn't own up to his mistakes and take responsibility for the killing. Victor had countless opportunities to come clean about the murder and he likely would have been better off if he could accept his wrongdoings. His guilt after this is continuing to build up and get worse, pushing him still further from his family and Elizabeth.

Victor as a scientist:
Victor is a scientist in every sense of the word. He is motivated and passionate about the subject, and does things nobody has seen or heard of before. However, I do tend to think he got way ahead of himself and was unable to process the full extent of his abilities. Victor created a living, breathing, and thoughtful being out of deceased flesh. Despite being a great scientist and having an insane amount of potential, his immaturity led him to a life of misery. He couldn't take responsibility for the creature he made and was forced to abandon his position as a scientist and creator of beings.

Victor as a father:
Victor was such a terrible father that I'm not even sure the word can be used to describe him at all. Fathers and parents in general are meant to care for their children. They have to show them love and compassion, especially after making the decision to bring their children into the world. The creature did not ask for life or to be wretched, but it did ask for Victor's love. This is where Victor's immaturity fails him once again. He didn't understand responsibility until it was too late. He made the creature, pushed it away, and drove the thing to madness. All of Victor's compassion and love was put in the scientific aspect of the creature and into his work as a scientist in general. All I know is that Victor learned nothing from his own father, and chose his downfall by not showing any empathy for the creature.

Victor as a fiancé:
To say the least, Victor is protective. However, he takes this too far and it leads to Elizabeth's death. He speaks very highly of her throughout the entire book, all the way to the end. Since they were so close, one would think that they could tell each other anything and everything, especially since they grew up together. However, Victor stayed away from Elizabeth as an attempt to protect her from the creature. He could have shared his concerns with her before the wedding and they might have found a solution to the problem. Once again, Victor's immaturity gets the best of him. He runs from his problems, which may seem heroic in this case because he's trying to protect his dear Elizabeth. In her eyes on the other hand, I believe Elizabeth would have thought that Victor was a terrible fiancé. I can't even begin to imagine how it would feel for someone you love to suddenly avoid you with no explanation. The reader, of course, knows why Victor is doing it, but Elizabeth wouldn't.

Victor Frankenstein as a fiancé is admirable in the sense that he cares deeply for Elizabeth. This is shown in the way he speaks to her and how he speaks of her. Victor views Elizabeth as his, "...and looked upon Elizabeth as mine-mine to protect, love, and cherish," (37). Even after the death of their mother, Victor wished for Elizabeth to feel some comfort, "I desired to see my sweet Elizabeth in some degree consoled," (45). He had also felt deep guilt and darkness for what he caused upon Elizabeth with the death of Justine.

Victor Frankenstein as a son is obedient and caring. He demonstrates his obedience to his father by following his direction to pursue a higher education at the University of Ingolstadt. He continues with his care for his family when his mother passes. The death of his mother had affected him deeply showing that he really did love his mother. Victor is always respectful and thoughtful at times with his father although they don't seem close. However, Victor displays his selfishness and lack of consideration towards his family during Justine's trial. He had continuous opportunities to confess and speak the truth behind his brothers murder, yet he didn't more so out of guilt and fear. Whether it be fear of his punishment or the disappointment and shame from his family.

Victor Frankenstein exceeded many positions in a positive aspect, however, not as a father. Victor Frankenstein created a life in which it was his responsibility and role as its creator, to care for it. He neither cared nor embraced the creature and instead regretted and abandoned its existence. At this point, Victor isn't its father since there is no bond nor relationship established, but instead is simply its creator. Victor is selfish and only thought of himself and whether he could create life. With no intention on ever raising, teaching, caring, or even acknowledging the fiend as a person. In addition to this Victor curses at the fiend and wishes death upon it, he is a horrible father.

Victor Frankenstein as a scientist exceeded beyond what many had seen. Not only was he determined, motivated and persistent in his work, but he was actually successful in creating an actual life. His own professors were astonished by his rapid progress in this process. However, his curiosity and yearn to know what is beyond "the principle of life" caused his downfall. By creating the monstrosity of which he had gave life to, he abandoned it along with his work and position as a scientist. Victor Frankenstein was an incredible scientist who accomplished a great feat and had the potential to continue his success, however, he let his dark curiosity and narcissistic tendencies lead him down a miserable path.

Victor as a son is immature and irresponsible. He starts off being a kind child in the beginning of the book, but looses that once he moved away. He does not write back to his family or show care and concern for them. As a father Victor is negative and careless. He shows no love or compassion for the creature he created. Instead he insults the fiend which ultimately leads to it's mass destruction. As a fiancé Victor shows lots of care, though. His love for Elizabeth is evident and shows how much he cares. Victor's goal is to protect Elizabeth, but he falls short. As a scientist Victor thrives. Victor is a very intelligent man, which he proves through his experimentation. Science is the one part of life that Victor succeeds in.

Victor as a son is someone who could be seen as a perfect son but could be seen as immature even as an adult. Parents want to see their children to succeed and do better than they could in their life. And he does just that, he pursues higher education and his passions like his father asked of him instead of holding himself back. However, Victor is not someone who grew up to be mature, he didn't face his consequences. He returns home after creating his wretch because he KNEW that it killed his younger brother, yet never says anything. He was not mature enough to let his family know of his mistake that way they could be safe. Because of this the fiend kills more people and his father just died of grief in the aftershock. Victor could have prevented this if he stood up as a son and cared for his family's wellbeing. Victor Frankenstein as a son is who, at first look, a person exceeding his parents' wishes and hopes for him. However, who he truly is as a son is an immature man.

Victor as a fiancé is hard to gage. He grew up alongside Elizabeth, they knew each other like the back of their hand, they were happy to know that in the future they would be married- even from a young age. One would think that with such a great and reliable relationship, Victor would lean on his fiancé to help him figure things out, with Elizabeth being someone close to his age and someone who would understand his feelings. However, he becomes deceitful to his family once he leaves, he no longer stays in touch with anyone of them who he was once close to; even his "beloved" Elizabeth. This could be seen as trying (but miserably failing) to protect Elizabeth, but this behavior on his part causes her imminent ending by the hand of his creature. Maybe he could have prevented his fiancé's death if he didn't hide his creation from her. Victor Frankenstein as a fiancé is overly protective to the point of being deceitful.

# data[].attributes.body
Victor as a father is not someone anybody would want for themselves. In this world, parents are meant to be the people who guide you and teach you how the world around you works. What Victor does to the wretch is irresponsible and very bad parenting. He did not take responsibility of taking care of and teaching the fiend, instead he flees from his creation. Understandable as the circumstances may be, Frankenstein was still in the wrong for knowing what he was doing while working on the creature and yet he still runs away. Victor Frankenstein as a father is an irresponsible flake.

Victor as a scientist is an Icarus. He had a passion for the craft and wanted to push the limits of his own ethics. Frankenstein was an absolute prodigy ahead of his time in his studies of science and philosophy. Obviously, he is someone who is incredible at what he does; he reanimates pieces of dead flesh.  However just because he could did not mean he should've. He went too far in his creation of "the fiend" and made something that was new to the world, but in the end was something that caused far more destruction than it did good. Victor Frankenstein as a scientist flew too close to the sun and it caused him to fall.

Victor talks positively of Elizabeth throughout the whole book, constantly referring to her beautiful features and voice. Once given the chance to actually marry her he is more than happy to do so, but he also realizes the dangers he would put her in due to the Wretch. Victor doesn't want to see her get hurt, and is very attentive to her during the course of his childhood and adult life. During their wedding day, Victor is especially aware of his surroundings, knowing the Wretch will show up at some point. Of course this extra caution is thrown to waste when Elizabeth dies due to the Wretch. Victor had withheld the information of the Wretch from her for a very long time, showing some irresponsibility and guilt.

As a son, Victor is quite adequate. His father loves him and makes a point to broaden his son’s horizons in order to experience a world beyond his home country of Geneva. His father also reaches out to his son to console their household after the death of William, asking that he arrive with “feelings of peace and gentleness, that will heal, instead of festering, the wound of our minds”(Shelly 74). Why would a father ask his son for help in consoling them if he were not already a loved member of the family. Victor as a son is appreciated and cherished.

# data[].attributes.body
As a father, Victor never was a good father towards the fiend. The fiend was treated very poorly by Victor and Victor never attempted to give the fiend happiness. The fiend even attempted to give Victor a chance at giving him happiness by making a woman for him, but Victor refused so that he could save the human race (Shelley 171).

As a son and fiancee, Victor loves his father and Elizabeth dearly. He does want to protect his family or at least he thinks of them. Victor does selfish actions such as thinking that he should stay to protect his family but leaves elsewhere anyway. Victor is an okay fiancee and son treating them dearly but not doing many actions for them.

As a scientist, Victor excels in his studies and even creates an artificial living being. He shows great potential as a scientist but on the night his creation actually comes to life, he becomes too scared to work. He becomes terrified of his scientific tools and refuses to do anything more scientific.

Victor was a loving fiance. He grew up with his wife-to-be, and formed a deep and unique connection. He genuinly cares for Elizabeth, but he hides important details from her that lead to her death.

Victor is a good son in the sense that he cares for his father and his wellbeing. However, a good child would help protect the family, and Victor puts his in danger. Victor knows that his creature is responsible for his brother's death, and he says nothing. This led to the death of Justine and even more emotional damage for his father.

As a father, Victor is the bottom of the barrel. When his creation came to life, he literally fled the scene. Afterwards, Victor returned home and many months went by where he made no effort to find his creature. Victor has no love for the creature and does not stand as a good father-figure.

# data[].attributes.body
Victor is very intelligent and has a thirst for knowledge. As a scientist, Victor likes to push the limits and pave his own way towards advancment. That is, until he went to far and became scared of his creation. After bringing the creature to life, Victor abondons his study and avoids his equipment.

Victor very much cares for the health of his father. At many points he wonders how his father is doing, and looks up to him. He doesn't seem to resent him in any way, and always has fond memories of his childhood.

Victor is not a very good father towards the Wretch, which is his own creation. He talks poorly about the Wretch, and shuns it anytime they confront each other. When the Wretch is first created, he doesn't seem to pose much of a threat. However, due to how Victor reacts to the Wretch, it causes the wretch to be shunned for many months. In reality, if Victor had treated the Wretch with respect there would've been no need for this needless hatred between both parties. Overall, Victor failed being a father to his own creation.

# data[].attributes.body
Victor shows himself to be a genius at certain points in the book. He was quick in his studies, and is even able to create an entirely new being. Since his childhood he showed specific interest in philosophy and the sciences, and these two go hand in hand during the creation of the Wretch. While he himself may consider everything he had done as a failure, in no way was Victor a failure in terms of being a scientist.
