Testimony and Trope in Frankenstein - Book Report/Review Example

He ignored his wife, children's father, and brother including himself (Porter). His aggressiveness turned him mad; it made him turn back on everything. For over two years, he was alone and was eager to finish his masterpiece (Prickett 5). As the progress grew, he created an image that was not built out of love but selfish ambitions, and in return, it reflected his intentions to his master creation. After two years, his perseverance was paid with the completion of his work. He proved his own worth of being a scientist and even beyond his colleagues' expectations.

Frankenstein was never satisfied with his monster, and did not know what to name his image, but considered it as a "thing". Little to expect, he was not able to provide the proper nurture that a human being would need to his "thing". He was not able to provide love and assistance. In the end, his masterpiece played as a reflection of his personality (Knopp). His own little "Frankenstein" was also blinded with artificial things, even with artificial love. This famous monster had taught his inventor more to what Victor Frankenstein had shared with him.

His selfish ambition greatly affected society, especially his family. A scientist that wanted to be God placed the wellness of the society and his family into his own hands. His invention and ambition killed his family one by one. Not by killing them literally, but neglecting his duty as a son and a brother, he already started killing his family on his created world (Knopp).Victor Frankenstein, a true figure of a great scientist, a contender of the creator, failed to attain the honor and respect for his work, killed by the monster that he created with his bare hands.

An indication that even science cannot surpass what is above its magic, not above to its true inventor, Him.
