The book Frankenstein by Mary Shelley consists of many themes and concepts. One of the major themes in the book is Man's Limitations. What science should or shouldn't. In the book the main character, Victor Frankenstein breaks this repeatedly. When he tries to create a human with science that is not acceptable and that should never happen. Science should do some things but there are some things that science shouldn't do.
When Victor first starts his life, he is fascinated by lightning and later on gets the wanting to make a human life. When he first puts the monster together that was a wrong thing because science shouldn't create life it should help keep it healthy but not just plain out make a life. Science should not be playing the almighty god and be able to destroy a life and then make a life. Being able to destroy a life is a power no one should have but everyone does seem to have it.
Knowing your own limitations on what you should and shouldn't do is something that Victor Frankenstein doesn't have. He thinks that he can use his brain and his knowledge to do what ever he wants. He should know his own limitations and what should science should do and what shouldn't do. He crossed over the line when he made a human. Not only did he crossover when he made a human but also he didn't even take care of the monster he made and just ran out on him. .
Victor didn't seem to know his own limitations let alone the limitations of science. Nevertheless, in the end Victor learns his lesson. By losing everyone, he loves. This wouldn't have happened if he hadn't gone over man's limitations. Therefore, this story would have had a better ending if Victor knew his limitations.
