Frankenstein vs. GodIn the Bible, the book of Genesis 1:27 states that "God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him; male and female he created them." By creating men and women in His image, God is the only person who can do this successfully, giving us unconditional love and never abandoning us throughout our journey in life. On the other hand, Victor Frankenstein, a young scientist creates a life form due to his love for natural sciences. His desire to create this life form only for an experimental purpose unwittingly leads to disastrous results for both Victor Frankenstein and his creation, the monster. In Mary Shelley's novel, Frankenstein, the protagonist, Victor Frankenstein uses his knowledge by violating ethical principles by playing God and creating a form of life that he is ultimately ashamed of. After his mother's death, Frankenstein attends a university in Ingolstadt, where Professor M. Krempe influences him to change his major from alchemy to the study of natural philosophy. While studying natural philosophy, Frankenstein gains “knowledge of the science of anatomy: but this was not sufficient, [he] had also to observe the natural decay and corruption of the human body” (Shelley 30). Frankenstein's obsession with the study of anatomy leads him to isolate himself in his apartment from family, friends and society and slowly develop the creation of a creature, imagining the creation of a new race of wondrous beings. The creation of the monster for Frankenstein is an "initial romantic animation slowly eroded by the materialism of its construction, alienating it from the rest of humanity and turning it into nothing more than a metaphor for the rampant scientist... card...... of a good creator as God, who provides us with these necessities daily. From this it is clear that human beings only have the talents that God gives us, and one should never try to outsmart Him. It is inevitable to see that God is in control of the cycle. of life and no one should try to disturb that process.
