I see the book as an analogy on life, and how humans shouldn't mess with the power to create life. due to how the creature reacted on "being alive" it ended very badly for victor frankenstein. With great power, there must also come great responsibility.

"He came like a protecting spirit to the poor girl" (Chapter 1).

This simile helps portray a positive tone and shows us more about Victor's father's characteristics

"The abrupt sides of vast mountains were before me; the icy wall of the glacier overhung me" (Chapter 10).

This imagery can be symbolic of Victor's life at the moment. He has some really big things in life that he needs to face that are a lot more significant than he thinks.

The responsibilities of the creator and the responsibilities of the creation is a theme found in the book.  When Victor creates the monster he is playing God. However, when the monster comes to life Victor rejects it and therefore proves how human he really is. Victor continues to reject the monster and his request to create a female companion for him throughout the book. Victor, therefore, does not uphold his responsibilities as a creator. Nor does the monster as he murder friends and family of Victor. This shapes Shelley's opinion that creators and creations have responsibilities.   Victor's desire for knowledge is ultimately the cause of his family's tragedy; however, by creating the creature and running away, he set up a storyline parallel to his own.  The creature sought knowledge just like Victor did in his early years.  When the creature watched the family, he tried to learn everything that he could from them, and he stated, "I ardently longed to comprehend these also," when discussing language  (Chapter 12).  Just as Victor's learning lead to his demise, the creature followed that same path.  From reading Paradise Lost, he found a connection between himself and Adam, but because he was not "from the hands of God," he "many times considered Satan as the fitter emblem of [his] condition" (Chapter15).  Not long after this idea, the creature read Victor's paper that stated "hateful day when I received life," and he set out for revenge which only furthered his unhappiness and caused more tragedy.
