The story of Frankenstein follows the life of the ambitious scientist Victor Frankenstein as he attempts produce an animate creation. After the creation of his monster, the monster’s actions evolve from instinctual to purposeful as he accumulates knowledge. Initially, it was Victor’s responsibility to teach his creation moral values, and how to compose himself in a functioning society. Had Victor not abandoned his creation, Frankenstein would have arguably led a life with less murderous acts, instances of emotional instability, and desire for revenge against his creator. It was the responsibility of Frankenstein to insure the protection of others from his creation, and them from him. “Ihad desired it with an ardour that far exceeded moderation; but now that I had finished, the beauty of the dream vanished, and breathless horror and disgust filled my heart. Unable to endure the aspect of the being iI had created, I rushed out of the room, and continued a long time traversing my bedchamber, unable to compose my mind to sleep. After the monster is abandoned, he voyages out into the world in an attempt to discover things on his own. His inability to understand his own actions result, first, in the death of William. William is coincidentally the brother of Victor. William’s death results in the accusation of an innocent woman, and her death.
