Sometimes when you start a new school you don’t know what you’re going to expect. You don’t know how people are going to treat you, how you will in school, etc. But with Paul’s teammate Victor you don’t know if he will be your friend or foe.
A reason Paul and Victor’s relationship is 50/50 is because of Victor’s rudeness and troublemaking. A good example was when Victor had got into trouble with Tino and Hernando at the carnival. You sort of know whoever sides with Victor would get into trouble. On page 106, Victor kept on bullying Paul by stating, “You think you can play on my team? You think we got to take every chump who shows up? You think because you are Mommy’s’ boy you are automatically on my team?” This is a good sentence it shows a lot of his rudeness, and anger. In fact when you read that page it seems like Victor is about to bully everyone at school. Another page you find Victor being a troublemaker is on page 107, “Victor snorted, Tell him where we were, Tino. Tino answered to nobody in particular, we were in jail. They put us in the vandalism jail”. You also know that Victor’s group is always getting in some type of trouble. I believe that Victor is hanging out with bad people instead of good people. This all add ups

Victor’s bad traits is that he is injury prone. In section Friday, September 22 when the War Eagles were playing Palmetto, Victor had to go to the emergency room because he got a scratch on his head and blood came out. Another injury he had was that Tino kicked Victor in the face and he got subbed out, this occurred on page 191. I think this is a bad trait that Victor has what if he had a really bad injury and had occurred for example if he broke his leg he can’t fix the past and undo the damages. Victor is being a little brutal on the soccer field and if he was less brutal maybe he would have little or no
Consequently, Victor creates a monster that later ruins his life and the lives of those around him in the story mostly due to his poor variety of decisions. These facts proves that Victor’s downfall is most likely caused by his failure of balancing his ego by allowing his Id and superego get to him. In the novel

Victor is the type of person that cannot handle responsibility well. We first see this in Chapter 3, after his mother’s death, “My mother was dead, but we had still duties which we ought to perform; we must continue our course with the rest and learn to think ourselves fortunate whilst one remains whom the spoiler has not seized.”
Victor has had supportive people around him since birth; however now that he is at the university he has nobody to help keep him level headed. "Every night I was oppressed by a slow fever, and I became nervous to a most painful degree; the fall of a leaf startled me, and I shunned my fellow creatures as if I had been guilty of a crime" (35). The isolation being portrayed by Victor is now shifting from not only
In the novel, Frankenstein, by Mary Shelley, the two main characters, Victor Frankenstein and his creature, both display a sense of moral ambiguity. Each character has committed both good and evil alike, and neither knew the consequences of what they had done. However, Victor Frankenstein is generally the morally ambiguous character by his treatment of his creation and his own imperious personality. He wanted to be able to help science by recreating life or bringing it back, but at the same time, he did not want to consider the consequences of doing so. Victor tries to prove himself as a good moral character in the relationship between his creation and himself.
“No fear, Mom. Show them no fear.” (page 296). In the novel, Tangerine, by Edward Bloor, the protagonist, Paul Fisher, is going through many changes in his life after moving from Texas to Florida. Those changes include external ones, his friends and the environment around him, and internal ones, his views and opinions.
(Shelly 69) What Victor endured in the past still fuelled his hate and anger towards the creature. This hate consumed his whole being leading him to parade such savagery to the creature. Through the cruelty he shows buth his own body and the creature we can see Victor's selfishness.
Victor realizes that he has lost control of the monster’s actions and regrets not taking the proper precautions in seizing the monster when he has the opportunity. Ultimately, Victor is victimized. After the murder of Elizabeth, Victor reflects on the deaths of his loved ones and says, “The death of William, the execution of Justine, the murder of Clerval, and lastly of my wife; even at that moment I knew not that my only remaining friends were safe from the malignity of the fiend” (174). Victor suffers watching his loved ones die one by one, yet lacking the ability to save them. Overall, Victor’s victimization is due to his timorousness dealing with his initial
Victor and the Creature are both social outcasts. Since Victor is so intelligent and interested in science he often does not relate to other people and he does not have many friends. Since the monster cannot be around people without scaring them to death he tends to also act as an outcast around
Jacob Opalka Mrs. Ramey 4 April 2016 English 12 CP Victor Frankenstein: a Deadbeat Father Figure (Rough Draft) One out of every three children living in America lives without a father figure in his/her lives. Children growing up without a father figure can develop emotional and/or behavioral problems. In some cases, these children even become aggressive and get into trouble with the law (“Statistics on the Father Absence” n.p.). Frankenstein, written by Mary Shelley, occurs in Geneva and Ingolstadt, and portrays Victor Frankenstein as a deadbeat father figure to his creation because he does not take responsibility for him, and he must ultimately deal with the consequences of his creature.
Victor grew up to become a very loving, affectionate and humane individual, due to the love and
He despised the monster he believed he is; he stated that “when [he] heard the details of vice and bloodshed, [his] wonder ceased, and [he] turned away with disgust and loathing” (104). Therefore, he realized his flaws, which Victor failed to
He starts his own plan to for revenge against the creature, but this makes him just as beastly as the monster. Victor makes it his life goal, to make the monster pay in any way he can. He wants him to feel lonely and isolated forever. The beast takes a lot out on Victor and makes him feel exactly the way he feels
Victor falsely accuses himself for Justine’s execution because he believes that he could
He uses the little that he knows to fuel his hatred towards humans and his creator. This shows the exponential growth of the problems that Victor has created as a result of his desire for knowledge. Not only did he create the destructive monster, but now the monster is using a hunger for knowledge, the very thing that created it, to do even more damage. This root cause is linked to everything that is causing Victor’s suffering. The monster also compares his relationship to Victor to that of God and Adam, wishing that he had the same supplication to his creator that Adam did, “I remembered Adam’s supplication to his creator.
This also shows that Victor is an easy person to manipulate. All in all, people today can learn from the humor in Victor’s story. It is always best to be true to one’s
