"Of the several reasons why the book is a classic, perhaps the most important is the portrayal of Victor Frankenstein as a compassionate utopian destroyed by hubris."- Dean Kootz
I believe that Dean Kootz is right. Victor Frankenstein stated that he had one of the happiest childhoods on the planet. His happiness was destroyed by his own superfluous scientific curiosity. If Frankenstein had never tried to prove that he could create a human, he never would have found his life ruined. Dean Kootz was right about Victor Frankenstein, he was as perfect as a human could get until he was destroyed by his own pride.
