Although he experiences immense suffering, he is ultimately responsible for his demise due to his reckless ambition and refusal to take responsibility for his creation. Early in the novel, Victor states, “How dangerous is the acquirement of knowledge and how much happier that man is who believes his native town to be the world” (Shelley 54). This foreshadows his downfall, as his relentless pursuit of scientific discovery leads him to create the monster without considering the consequences. Furthermore, after the creature’s first violent act, Victor refuses to acknowledge his role, saying, “I bore a hell within me which nothing could extinguish” (Shelley 93), portraying himself as a victim rather than someone who must make amends. His refusal to take responsibility results in the deaths of his loved ones, proving that his fate was determined by his own decisions rather than an uncontrollable destiny. Thus, Victor Frankenstein is not merely a tragic figure doomed by fate, but a man undone by his own arrogance and poor choices.

From the start, he seems destined for misery, as he says, “Destiny was too potent, and her immutable laws had decreed my utter and terrible destruction” (Shelley 36). No matter what he does, tragedy follows him. His desire for knowledge pushes him forward, but he cannot escape the suffering it brings. Even after creating the monster, he feels powerless, saying, “I bore a hell within me which nothing could extinguish” (Shelley 93). This shows that his pain was inevitable, not just the result of his choices. No matter what Victor did, fate had already sealed his downfall.

Following that he even made the creature mad and gave him no chance to be nice.

He made the creature on his own free will, and it costed him everything. It’s his own fault that he tried to play God and create life. There’s nothing that makes Victor create the creature.

He was brought into life because of fate but he chose to do all the things that resulted him to become evil and a heartless murderer. In the story it says that the creature just wanted to have a companion and friends or a maker that loves him. In return he got a maker who looks at him in disgust and people who scream and run away when they see him. This caused him to become the way he is and “declare war against humanity”

This is because he made the decisions to create the creature when he could have stopped because nobody is forcing him to do it.

He made different choices to do this and create the creature in the book which then turned to regret creating that creature. He does not take responsibility for creating his own creature which then leads to multiple things which he then regrets of creating the creature.

In chapter 3 page #20 Victor said “I wanted to see how death changed bodies.” He also said “Now i decided to study human biology.” So in all costs his choices led to his downfall.

Victor chooses to continue to work on the creature knowing there are risks. Fore example this quote, “But still, I kept working,” shows that Victor chose to continue his project on the creature.
