Comment on Victor’s Character Flaw by csulli

Thanks for your response Josh! I have left my post semi-unformed for the sake of the novel’s end. I don’t remember it and so I feel as if I cannot fully form my opinion around the tragic hero that Frankenstein is shaping up to be. I find that at the moment, his lack of responsiblitiy is currently what makes him a detestable person. His emotions reveal that he is sympathetic for the effects of his actions (death of Justine & agreeing to make a wife for the demon). So yes, he is very pitiful with his inaction and self-wallowing.

Thus, we share the same questions, will Frankenstein become a hero of his own tragedy? I’m doubtful.
