Character Analysis: Victor Frankenstein -- Ben Foulkes

From an early age, Victor was fascinated with old sciences, such as alchemy, and the secret of life.  He eventually grew up, however, and mastered modern sciences at a university in Sweden.  His fascination with the mystery of life remained, and with his knowledge of science, Victor created life.  His creation was a “monster,” and goes on to destroy everything and everyone he ever loved.  No one knew that he created the monster, so people's opinions of Victor remained intact.  Victor becomes guided by his need to avenge the deaths of his loved ones.  This transforms Victor from an innocent young man playing with the laws of science to a guilty man hell-bent on fixing what he deems his greatest mistake; creating a monster.
