What started Victor's Obsession with science?
Victor's obsession for science started at a young age especially natural philosophy which becomes his passion and eventually leads to his obsession. He is significantly influenced by Authors such as Cornelius Agippa, Albertus Magnus and Paracelsus who each studied natural philosophy who encouraged him in his scientific search for the 'elixir of life'.
Later in life Victor is encouraged to study anatomy and is encouraged to study anatomy and physiology which leads him into believing that he can play God and create the elixir of life.

Why does Frankenstein refuse to create the she-monster even though it could save the lives of those closest to him?

# data[].attributes.body
The reason he gives is that the creation of a race of Creatures would be a disaster. He fears depravity. The parallel to God creating humanity suggests that it would lead to the destruction of the world. God let us loose on the world and depravity triumphed over honour, sin over goodness. Even when Victor does lose those closest to him, he remains responsible for the creature and must pursue and destroy him. Additionally, his fear of what the “she-monster” could become suggests that Victor acknowledges that science and reason cannot provide all the answers. Ours lives may exist within a deterministic system, but there is no means of predicting the pattern or rule our lives will follow, or a way to explain the ability of “sublime and magnificent scenes” to console and “remove” Victor’s grief. Human nature is not dictated by a single absolute fact, and the unpredictability of the potential “she-monster”, facing the unknown, is far more frightening than trying to destroy a known danger.

Does the monster show more humanity than Victor

# data[].attributes.body
Yes he does, this I because he is quite unfamiliar with the world and society he has been brought into to, so naturally he sees more in unity and peace in life than Victor, who has lived life and sees it for what it really is, seeing the terrors of the world through the creation of the monster.

what type of relationship Frankenstein and Elizabeth have?

# data[].attributes.body
Victor says he loves Elizabeth. They have been sweethearts since childhood. However, when he leaves to the University of Ingolstadt and makes his monster, he totally cuts off contact with "the woman he loves." Of course, Victor also cuts off contact with the rest of his family and his best friend, Clerval. He loses so much contact that Elizabeth writes him, asking if he has found another love. This shows how self-absorbed and obsessed Frankenstein is. When he finally marries Elizabeth, he knows the monster has promised to be with him "on his wedding day" but he foolishly leaves her alone while he checks out the downstairs of their honeymoon lodge. Thus, he does not seem to be a very clever or thoughtful lover and Elizabeth is the one who suffers from his lack of total commitment.

Why does Frankenstein refuse to create the she-monster even though it could save the lives of those closest to him?

# data[].attributes.body
Frankenstein initially commits to creating the female monster and almost finishes the task, but then decides against it, believing it could potentially have disastrous consequences like the first monster. If the monster could kill so many now, then two monsters would do worse, thus they couldn't be trusted.

In some respects, as he loses much of his intrepid thirst for exploration into the depths of science. However, his plea that Walton continue to pursue his quest for revenge- despite acknowledging that this request is in many respects selfish- illustrates how he has not changed and has not evolved. He has not learnt the danger and futility of pursuing this anger despite the pain this has already brought him.

Why doesn't Victor give his monster a name?

# data[].attributes.body
To give something a name is a tactic used by humans to remove a sense of power from that thing. For example, "it's only a wolf" instead of being defined by its big teeth and claws. Victor  is afraid of the monster and is unable to.
The reason he doesn't have a name is because society and Dr. Frankenstein sees his creation as a thing, an evil being. They feel he doesn't deserve to have a name.
