In the book Frankenstein, the reader discovers two fascinating characters who both describe their own life stories. This brings Mary Shelley's audience to a mind-blowing novel, because of the way fate intervenes through both characters. To begin with, Victor was born into a well-structured home and goes through life pursuing his passion of studying natural philosophy. Thus, leading him to create his “creation”. Additionally, Creation tells his side of the story, explaining that life for him was a mystery and was largely a learning process. With these two characters, each goes through the novel trying to achieve a particular goal. Given this, it is implied that as the novel progresses and the reader learns about Victor and Creation, each possesses the skills of need and desire and the two will contradict each other; leading them to an irreversible chain of events. Once the first letters are introduced to the reader, the story shifts its narrative from Walton to Victor's perspective on his respective lives. He begins by recounting his early childhood and the memories surrounding it, but more importantly, his story focuses on his attendance at Ingolstadt. Ingolstadt was the university he always dreamed of attending and it was there that his love of science “sparked” his interest in natural philosophy. Victor is so involved in his studies that at school, he approaches his studies with enthusiasm and full attention. This is what high school English teachers want for their students today. Amidst Victor's studies, he regularly neglects his family and friends, which his father (Alphonse) notices and criticizes him on why he is studying this particular subject. Alphonse... middle of paper... science, and particularly chemistry, in the broadest sense of the term, has become almost my only occupation” (59). Additionally, the moral of Victor's story is that you don't realize you have something until you lose it, and this is the explanation for his pursuit of creating and saving his " friends” before they were killed. So for creation itself, he goes through the whole book trying to find that “perfect peace of happiness.” Therefore, the story of creation and the story of the overcomers are similar as they both go through the book trying to find their purpose in life. Creation continuing his life trying to fit into society and learning how to interact with people causes his life to end at the same point it began, loneliness. Thus, Victor went from contentment to loneliness and ended up at the same point as the monster at the end of the novel. CONCLUSION
