Comparing Frankenstein's Life In The Novel And Film

.The novel and film clearly portrays Frankenstein’s life in Ingolstadt, where he became excited and obsessed with the vast scientific opportunity ahead and finding the secret key to create human life.

He creates the monster from the dead body parts of human without any proper authority which can be considered as a criminal offense and against social ethics. Victor always considered people as a means to use for his purpose, he did not value the beliefs and emotions of others instead he always concentrated on his life with everyone else around him to serving his needs. Egocentric behavior of humanity is continued throughout generations in one form or another making this novel relevant after many decades. Victor grieves for his mother’s death and considers it a great evil, but he fails to understand other’s feelings and emotions with the demise of loved ones. Instead he stole other’s dead bodies without showing respect to that person or their
