Frankenstein Interpreted By Brendan M.

This obsession to pursue life at all costs was clearly portrayed in Frankenstein through the doctor’s creation of the monster. He risked his life as he knew it to create this monster, which eventually leads to show adverse side effects. Victor (Dr. Frankenstein) had gone into the solitude of his laboratory for extended periods of time, which also affected his relationship with Elizabeth. Victor says, “I will not lead you on, unguarded and ardent as I then was, to your destruction and infallible misery.” This quote shows that he will stop at nothing to create this new form of life, and protect it from destruction.

A person or a group of people that have an obsession about pursuing and maintaining life at all costs are anti-abortionists. This specific group of people protects unborn babies from being killed in the womb before birth, and this has turned into an obsession for many of them. They will protest at abortion counseling or clinics because of usually their religious beliefs. Some of them have gone to extreme’s to protect the life of the unborn, which creates the drive for them to maintain, pursue, and protect life at all costs.
