In Mary Shelleys novel Frankenstein, the titular character,
Victor Frankenstein allows the horror and disgust (31) that filled his heart upon the creation of his monster to control his actions. Rather than taking responsibility for the demonic beast he crafted, Victor spurns it and thus touches off the sequence of events that wreaks havoc on his life and the lives of his intimate friends and family members. Man always has an ethical responsibility for that which he creates due to the unintended effects his neglect of responsibility might have on his own life, the effects it might have on the lives of others, and the intrinsic value and potential of the life that he has bestowed.
