Any Frankenstein Expert out there?

Question

I'm in grade 10 and for one of our projects, we are suppose to argue about how Victor's irresponsibility led to his downfall.

Does anyone have any good points about that? Thanks!

Victor didn't think of the consequences of his actions and he built himself a friend. He should have realized that when you mix random animal parts to create an 8 foot monster you are going to run into a couple of problems. Good thing he smartened up and didn't create a female monster, they could have reproduced and made a bunch of little monsters.

He tried to play god, and was unsuccessful. By trying to create life, he brought about death.
