Victor Waldman's Accomplishments

Chapter III began with Victor Frankenstein declaring his sole occupation in life to be the study of natural philosophy, particularly chemistry. M. Waldman makes Victor his most cherished student and helps him by accelerating his education. Laboratory work was what fascinated Victor the most. He would even stay there for days, occupied with work. His skills fascinated both M. Waldman and other students. His captivation of science was so strong, that he went two years without once visiting his family at Geneva. He develops an interest in human structure and wants to become a creator of life and sets out to do so. Victor becomes so invested in this new project, that he becomes very distant from the outside world. Isolation is the state of being
in a place or situation that is separate from others. Because Victor Frankenstein was so obsessed with creating life, he became isolated from the world around him, causing him to create a life that he soon regrets.
In the short passage above, Frankenstein was isolated for months away from his family and friends. He described the season to be “a most beautiful season” and used words such as “plentiful” and “luxuriant” to describe the beautiful summer scene. Not only do these descriptive words define a summer that is stunning, they also describes something that has grown. In this case, a harvest and vines had grown immensely. The purpose of the vivid description of nature during the summer, was to accompany the work that Victor Frankenstein was doing, which was creating life. Just like Frankenstein had to bring together different body parts to create a human being, harvests and vine had to be grown with the help of water and sunlight.
