Question

Two excerpts from Victor's conversation with Walton at different points in the novel Frankenstein are quoted here. The excerpts relate to the theme of dangerous knowledge. What do the excerpts indicate about his motive for creating the creature?
Victor created the creature because of his love for science.



Victor created the creature for the sake of wealth and riches.



Victor created the creature because he wanted a companion.



Victor created the creature because he wanted glory and fame.

Answer 1

Well, this is a tricky question, because none of the answer are completely correct - he created the monster out of arrogance, he wanted to play God and prove to mankind and himself that he could create the same way God did.
So, I am guessing that here, the closest answer is the first one - Victor created the creature because of his love for science, but that is certainly not completely true, as I said.

Answer 2

I believe the answer is: Victor created the creature because he wanted glory and fame.

The main reason Victor wanted to bring the dead to live is to prove himself to mankind and play God, because many other experts in his field believe that it can never be possible. Because of this, i believe glory and fame are the things that Victor want to get from other people.
