do you think victor Frankenstein a hero or a villain?why ?

Answer 1

Interesting question about one of my favorite books. I wouldn't categorize him as either a hero or a villain.

His motives seem very good at first, he wants to create life to help people. But after he creates the monster, his fear causes him to abandon his creation. He isn't a hero because he doesn't do anything heroic, except when he flees to the icy north in the hope that the monster will follow him there and leave other people alone. So that self-sacrifice is kind of heroic. But overall, he is somewhat cowardly and he lets his fear get in the way of taking responsibility for that which he created.

I am referring to the original novel by Mary Shelly, not any of the movies.

Answer 2

Frankenstein could be treated neither a hero nor a villain.He did nothing striking or courageous to become a hero.He also did not do anything sinister to make him a villain.He created a monster from the dead.He did not even have the power to control it. I think Frankenstein was just a tool set up by the author to set the wheels of the story moving.

Answer 3

Frankenstein is a tragic hero. He is a hero because he does great things. But he is proud. His pride leads to his ruin. Part of the tragedy is that once he has created life, he has set in motion events that he cannot stop. These unstoppable events lead to his ruin. One can ask: Was he doomed from the hour of his birth? Was he destined to study medicine? Having studied medicine, was he impelled to the creation of life? What is his pride: That he thinks himself greater than God? Or is it that once he has created the monster, he has little responsibility thereafter.
