How Does Shelley Present Frankenstein As A Victim Of The Whole Family

In Frankenstein, Shelley presents Frankenstein as a victim of the whole family by using the gargantuan ambition that he has and the betrayal of his own creation, and eventually the loss of his whole family to present consequences of being ambitious. Firstly, the letter from the extract introduces the character of Walton and Frankenstein by listening to his disastrous and sad story from the perspective of Walton, which makes Frankenstein a heroic symbolism for Walton, then it flashbacks back to the story of his life with the romantic setting of the village contrasting to the cold and dark place in the beginning. Firstly, the description of Frankenstein's body condition made the situation worse, "his limbs" were nearly frozen, and his body dreadfully emaciated by fatigue and suffering. Frankenstein is tired of everything and he was scared of the monster

As a result, Shelley implied that Frankenstein uses electricity to animate the monster - he infuses a "spark of being" into a "lifeless thing". Spark and lightning are symbols of knowledge in the novel, but they are also associated with danger. The ambition that Victor Frankenstein has made him seem like a victim of his own actions -- creating the monster. Although creating monster is one of the reasons, the most important of leading him to become dreadfully dead is because of the betrayal and the refusion and the abandonment of what he did to the monster, and it triggers the isolation and prejudice of the monster from the society. Although he had a happy family, he doesn't know the most important thing in life is family, he didn't give the monster a family. He thinks "No human being could have had a happier childhood." which is ironic, that he had a happy sweet childhood which Alphonse gave him -- the protection and the taking care, but not being responsible to his "child" the creation, and as a result, the monster became from nice to evil
