I don't think Frankenstein actually created life, he just reanimated tissue. It's like a battery that want work, you just need to jump it... Basically that is what Frankenstein did, he sent an electrical current through tissue that once held life. In doing so he rekindled the spark of said life, so to speak.

I think the thing is, it's successful in the terms of animating a mass of tissue and bones (but he didn't create them, merely reanimated them[???]), but as the result is considered a monstrosity, it fails at creating "life" as we know and appreciate it.
Even so, well, "he's alive", so I think it could be considered a success, even if no one likes it. Think about the isolation of viruses or the synthetic creation of them: they are a successful experiment, but now we fear someone uses them for war.

His creation proved that existence was a misery.
