Frankenstein: The End

The Hero Machine

I decided that the hero in this novel is Alphonse Frankenstein, Victor's father. Though he does nothing overly heroic, he is one of the only characters who seems to genuinly care about someone other than himself. He is much less selfish than Victor. His proiorities seem to be centered much more on others and family than on reaching his own goals and discovery. He tries to pull Victor out of his depression and it is obvious he wishes for the best for his son.

Class Notes: The End of the Novel

In the end is Victor the monster? I believe that the two characters could definitely be the same person. After the class discussion and the remainder of the novel, it seems likely they are the same.
