side’ of decisions.)

When dealing with the character of Victor Frankenstein
one cannot help but think that he is a very selfish person.
When taking a look at both his personal and scientific
relationships it is very clear to me that he is not an
appealing person. When you take a look at the
relationship between him and Elizabeth for an example he
loves her but at the same time he keeps his distance from
her. In a romantic relationship this is something that I
would not want from a partner. When looking at his
scientific project he is only concerned with his outcome
not the consequences of it. This makes him a very
difficult person to like, this is why I think that Victor is
someone that invokes no sense of appeal from me.
