Answer 1

Dr Frankenstein was haveing bad feelings about having to find body parts and putting them back together as a creation of his. It bothered him so much it was like being tortured. His moral instincts were ripping him apart emotionally because he knew what he was doing was wrong, yet he knew he had to press on and complete his work.
