I read Frankenstein in my AP European history class back in high school, and I'm just now realising how long ago that was. Getting a chance to reread it, even if I didn't get a chance to read all of it. I can't remember what my thoughts were in high school. Victor is an interesting character, he's kind of an asshole. He spends a lot of time talking about great his life was before the monster and how awful is was after. His reaction to the monster is really want cause the whole problem.
Like if you're going to create a living thing with thoughts and feelings, abandoning it is probably not the best idea.
I found a lot of similar feelings about the monster that I had for Erik from the Phantom of Opera, which I'd imagine probably got some of it's idea from Frankenstein. I sympathize with them both of them but their lives have turned them into to jerks.
