Victor Frankenstein created his own troubles through his choices of rejection. First of all, he rejected the advice of his professors about studying the alchemical writers. These theories had already been tested and discovered to be unfounded. Yet Victor, through his own pride, chose to continue anyway. He did manage to give life to inanimate matter, but it led to horrible consequences. These consequences also were his choice. He decided to reject his creature through fear. He did not even bother to think about what the consequences of making this creature would be. What kind of life would he create? He did not even bother to stick around to find that the creature was benevolent at the first. If he had taken responsibility for his creation, he would not have alienated the creature and brought all his troubles on himself. Through pride, through rejection, and through arrogance, Victor Frankenstein not only brought about his own doom, but the doom of all those he truly loved.
