Frankenstein Interpreted by Michael R.
In the story, Victor Frankenstein looked for the forbidden knowledge that is the creation of life. He was driven by obsession and curiosity to create a man and be like God. What Frankenstein sought out for was forbidden because man is supposed to be created by God, not by another man. Victor Frankenstein achieved this knowledge but it cost him a lot. In the end he lost many people that were close to him. It's not like he became famous or rich by making the monster, he just lost a lot of people in his life.
