Question

Frankenstein Chapter 2, Excerpt

Answer 1

The correct answer is A. What glory would attend the discovery. Victor begins his sentence very symptomatically: he disregards wealth but embraces the thought of glory, putting it before the noble tasks of exterminating illness and death. This is his ultimate sin; this is why Shelley calls him "The Modern Prometheus" in the novel's title. His mission's objective is to find a cure for human misery caused by mortality; but its subject is Victor Frankenstein himself.
