Frankenstein Interpreted by: Richie D.

Victor Frankenstein is seeking the knowledge of creating life. This knowledge is forbidden because God is the only one known in the world to be able to create life. At the time it was worth it to create life and to feel superior over everyone else, and he felt like he defined God. Victor said "Life and death appeared to me ideal bounds, which I should first break through, and pour a torrent of light into our dark world."
