Frankenstein

            Science getting out of control becomes a theme in the book Frankenstein. When Victor is a young boy he wants to learn all about the creation of life and his father does not stop him from doing so. Because of this and through his professor at Ingolstadt he becomes an expert in this field. Science is out of control because Victor tries to play God by trying to create life and ends up becoming a father to this monster. Victor does not realize his own limits and does inhumane things like digging up graves. He uses the body parts of many different cadavers to create one being which becomes a monster because of the way it is treated when first created. No one knows exactly what Victor is doing in his laboratory so they don't try to stop him. Victor thinks that just because he has the knowledge to create such a monster that he can. Victor does not think of his consequences and the morals of performing such an experiment until after he is finished. Once he finishes he comes to realize what horrible creature he has created and that he should have never started on this. Victor is a human just like everyone else but he did not have anyone tell him no when he was younger so he was used to being able to whatever he wants. Victor is so stubborn and interested in his work that he puts his marriage on hold to create this. After months of horrifying work he finally creates this monster but tries to kill it right away because he realizes what he has done. The science gets completely out of control when the monster actually comes to life and starts learning things. The consequence of Victor's experiment is a monster that goes on a killing spree to get revenge. The first thing that the monster learns is rejection because Victor tries killing him as soon as he creates him. Once the monster goes into the streets of town he is rejected also because the townspeople all try to kill him. This causes him to act very badly because it is what he learned when he first came into contact with society so that is the only way he knows.
