What was Victor Frankensteins childhood like?
He had a very loving childhood, because of his parents – Alphonse and Caroline Frankenstein. He was bestowed ‘inexhaustible stores of affection from a very mine of love’ from his parents. His passion for ‘creating life’ may have started on the day that he witnesses his first lightening storm, where he was, being clever from a young age, able to fully appreciate the power of the forces of nature. Also, the death of his mother from Scarlet fever may have been another inspiration for him to create life so that he could make people immortal. He admits, though, that his greatest aim was to create a sub-species that would call him father, creator or even God. His quest to create life makes it seem as if he wanted the role of God.
