Frankenstein

 

The simple truth that is revealed by his exploration is that whether as a mother to his creation or as a son to his mother, Victor desires to be desired.coab abr seababw orab abk inab foab ab.
             Secrecy - Victor conceives of science as a mystery to be probed; its secrets, once discovered, must be jealously guarded. He considers M. Krempe , the natural philosopher he meets at Ingolstadt, a model scientist: "an uncouth man, but deeply imbued in the secrets of his science." Victor's entire obsession with creating life is shrouded in secrecy, and his obsession with destroying the monster remains equally secret until Walton hears his tale.
             Whereas Victor continues in his secrecy out of shame and guilt, the monster is forced into seclusion by his grotesque appearance. Walton serves as the final confessor for both, and their tragic relationship becomes immortalized in Walton's letters. In confessing all just before he dies, Victor escapes the stifling secrecy that has ruined his life; likewise, the monster takes advantage of Walton's presence to forge a human connection, hoping desperately that at last someone will understand, and empathize with, his miserable existence.

             Victor embraced the notion of the noble pursuit of knowledge too eagerly and too uncritically. He had allowed himself to become carried away by the intellectual ecstasy of the pursuit, and now he receives no reward or gratification. Instead, Victor's creation destroys all that he loves. Victor begins to recognize his responsibility as he states, I murdered her. William, Justine, and Henryothey all died by my hands (176). At this point, however, those near and dear to Victor have already been killed. His previous failure to warn his loved ones about the murderous creature says something about his lack of compassion and inability to accept responsibility for his actions until it is too late.
