Dr.tackles
some incredible challenges, but in his pride, he begins to feel godlike and plays God with his
science. This is no thinly veiled attempt at being God, either.

most obviously,literally tries to bring the dead back to life. This is the entire premise of the
story, and Victor succeeds in creating life from death.
Later, he calls his
creation "Adam," referring to the first man created by God. By saying this, he

creation should feel grateful for what he has done. While he spurns and hates his monster, he
believesshould love and thank him for his life.
