Number of Pages 5

This research paper: 5 pages in length. Mary Shelley' Frankenstein utilizes several components in developing the characterization of protagonist Victor Frankenstein, which becomes quite clear when one examines character description, character behavior, other character's thoughts about him, as well as what he thinks about himself. In this precedence-setting novel, Shelley’s novel is more than it appears on the surface; clearly, when one looks at the dark undertones and truly begins to feel what Victor was doing and feeling throughout the story, one might wonder whether Shelly's purpose was to portray Victor as more a representative of death rather than life. Within the first chapter, the reader finds Victor possessively obsessed with his adopted sister Elizabeth, who, he claims, was 'my more than sister, since till death she was to be mine only.' This early indication sets up the reader for the further understanding of his obsessive nature, ultimately leading to the conclusion his character development. Bibliography lists 4 sources.
