Victor was born at the end of the 18th century in the Italian city of Naples, the son of Alphonse Frankenstein, an influential Geneva politician, belonging to a rich and ancient nobility, and Caroline Beaufort Frankenstein, who died of scarlet fever when he was young. Victor has two small brothers: William, the youngest, was killed by his creation, and Ernest, the middle one, who wanted to enter the Immigration Service as a "true Genevan." Victor fell in love with his adoptive sister, Elizabeth Lavenza (in the original text published in 1818 by his carnal cousin, daughter of his father's sister and an Italian nobleman), in the revision and reissue of 1831, a blonde born among gypsies to whom his mother adored).
This questions seems to be missing the options, but I do know this answer. Victor changes from an optimistic, eager young man to one who is anxious and remorseful.
