I do not think Frankenstein is an appealing person at all. His realationships appear to be one sided and he completely abandons his responsibility towards his creation. This shows that he likes to think he is a caring person, but really only cares about himself. I find Frankenstein's actions gross and unable to be compensated.
Frankenstein is affected by what happens after he abandons his creature by the lose of William, and the fact that his monster is going to haunt him forever. Victor is the true murderer of William because it was his fault that the murderer even existed in the first place!

Frankenstein is affected by what happens because his younger brother was murdered because of his creation. He is the true murderer because he created this monster. He took his intellectual experiment too far and created a blood thirsty killer. He will never forgive himself and an innocent woman will go to jail because of Frankenstein's monster.

Frankenstein definitely went too far in his quest for "knowledge". This quest actually ended up with him finding more insanity than knowledge if you ask me. His motive was selfish because he wanted glory for his accomplishments. Frankenstein obviously had adequate knowledge to start his project because he accomplished it, but he was not intellgient enough to think of consequences.
I would not say that Frankenstein is an appealing person. His relationship with other people is not that good.Because he always considers himself at the first place. When he attract by science, then in his mind,there's nothing else.In a other way, it's good.But I think he went to far on his quest of knowledge.He never think what might be happen, and the result might be effect to other people and his family.But I think Frankstein has a good motive for his project. He just like a child wants to know everything. He is a human just like us.It's just he thought he know everything, but the truth is not. There is still something we can't do.
Frankenstein created the monster. And he can't not accept the monster. The monster was sad, and he knew that everyone hates him, he shouldn't be treat like that. So,he killed Frankenstein's brother William. Frankenstein knew he is the true murderer of his brother. Because he created the monster.
Caroline I really liked your response. It pointed out how Frankenstein will never be able to forgive himself and that the internal struggle is harder than any of the physical hurdles he must overcome because of his mistakes.
#1.
The only personal relationships he holds is with his professors. He left his family behind to further his studies and rarely talked to his father and the rest of his family. He alienated himself from most people in order to work on his project. The project shows he cares about his work but he really only cares about himself. He would only be appealing to other scientific people. He might sound dull or confusing to any other person not familiar to what he is studying.
2)I do not think that Frankenstein went too far in his quest knowledge, because the Arctic is a deserted area that not much life can exist, so he wants to find more about it through science and philosophy. Also, he probably went there to get away from the troubles at home. His motives for his project are good and bad. Good, because he is risking his life to find answers. No, because he is probably already hiding from the truth at home. Frankenstein knew that this was a risk, and took it well.
Frankenstein deeply regrets creating the monster and abandons him as soon as he gives him life. He literally runs away from his problem, hoping it will simply disappear. He is tormented by the thought of his "evil" creation. He calls himself the "true murderer" of William because it was actually Frankenstein's monster that murdered William. If Frankenstein had never created the monster, William would have lived.
3. Frankenstein is horrified, because he knows that it is his fault. He made the creature, and the creature killed his brother. So in the end he started the domino effect that killed his brother.
Emalie,
Frankenstein was selfish, and all of the other things that you said.

He is affected by being overcome by remorse and fear. He spends months in bed after he created this creature out of fear of what he did. He calls him the true murder because if he did not create the creature, than William would not have been murdered. This is because Frankenstein believes it was his creature that killed William and therefore, he blames himself for creating this horrid creature.
Julie,
I agree with what you said about Frankenstein. He definitely abandons his responsibility of his creation. He was only worried about himself but he didn't take any action or do anything about the creature he created.
Frankenstein is deeply affected about what he did after he abandoned his monster. He had create his monstrosity and then just left it to fend for itself out of shear disgust. He obviously did not think about what he was doing when he created it. Afterward he could not keep the nightmares from claiming him and making him lose his sanity. He calls himself the true murderer because it was his monster that had killed William. If he had not created him in the first place his family would not have died. From there he just became worse until the only thing that could console him has great natural beauty. He has a big tie with nature and everything it entitles. He has more of a connection to nature than his own family. This causes him to lose his mind after he created and abandoned his creature. If it was not beautiful, it was not worth having or looking at.
3-How is Frankenstein affected by what happens after he abandons the creature? Why does he call himself the "true murderer" of William?
Dr. Frankenstein is greatly affected by what happens after he abandons his creature. He is affected that he had direct connection to the death of William, and that the monster will never leave him alone for now on. Victor Frankenstein is the "true murderer" of William, he created the creature that killed William. And the intent of the creature killing, way because of Victor.
2) I do believe that Frankenstein went way to far in his quest for knowledge. I believe he started out with grand goals for his studies but as time went on I think he became obsessed and went crazy. He was so obsessed in accomplishing his work that he turned away his family and was sitting day and night in graveyards watching the dead decay. Now that is way too far. I think his motives started off right in that he wanted to accomplish something no one else had accomplished but by the end it wen terribly wrong, even he wanted to flee from his creation. He definately did not consider the cosequences or have the adequate knowledge because it ended horribly. I believe he got so caught up in this experiment that he didn't think about what was to happen when it was done, all he cared about was finishing the experiment successfully.
3.After Frankenstein abandons his creature, he is overwhelmed with intense feelings of guilt. His guilt probably stems both from the fact that he abandons his creation and that his abandonment leads the monster to avenge Frankenstein by killing those close to him. As soon as Frankenstein see his monster he feels shame and horror. When his creation not only haunts him, but others, by killing William, Frankenstein's grief is intensified. Frankenstein considers himself the "true murderer" of William, because he is solely responsible for the creation of the monster, as well as its actions.
Frankenstein did not go too far in his quest for knowledge. In fact, his experiment would have been enormously successful had he remained with the monster after its creation. Unfortunately for the world, Frankenstein happens to be a coward and leaves the poor creature to the vicious treatment of unenlightened humans. Obtaining more knowledge is always a good reason for a project. As long as the potential benefits are far greater than the risks and the suspension of morals, then the end justifies the means. Frankenstein’s project was successful and would have been beneficial if he had stayed with the creature so he obviously had enough knowledge to complete the project. While he did not completely consider the possible results of the experiment, it would be impossible to know the results before the experiment and the potential benefits to Frankenstein and the human race were very extensive.
3. Frankenstein is distressed by William’s death because he had created the monster who murdered him. He did not consider the outcome of designing a monster. I really don’t think he even tried to stop the creature. Why couldn’t he have secured better the door to his lab? I think that Frankenstein was so obsessed that he could not see past his creation.
While Frankenstein's experiment in and of itself did not go to far in the quest for knowledge, his method did do so. Frankenstein rushed the experiment without obtaining the neccesary knowledge or considering the consequences. His motive was also questionable, as he was obviously doing it for his own fame instead of for the benifit of humanity. If he had done the experiment properly it would have been an excellent one, but under the circumstances it has too many flaws to justify it.
