Question

Which parts of the excerpt hint at Frankenstein's desire to act as God?

Answer 1

I would say " if I could banish disease from the human frame, and render man invulnerable to any but a violent death!" because he is talking about taking away a  disease and make man immortal-ish like.

Answer 2

Answer:

For me, the part of this excerpt that hint at Frankenstein's desire to act as God is: "But what glory would attend the discovery, if I could banish disease from the human frame, and render man invulnerable to any but a violent death!"

Explanation:

In these lines, the speaker shows how interested he is in making possible what is humanly impossible. He kind of wants to act as God when he says he wants to end disease and death from the human race, like if it was in his power to do it or even decide it.
