In Frankenstein by Mary Shelley, we can observe how the monster's obsession with having a lover, or companion, arises as the monster notices the love shared between Victor and Elizabeth. He creates this new obsession within his head that he must be created a companion , and he will do anything to get it. He asks Victor to make his companion, but he is rejected. So he decides to pursue his dream at all cost, and he finds it acceptable to begin killing those who are close to Victor's life. However, Victor knew he was taking a large risk in creating life. "at a sacrifice of my family and friends" (Shelly 89) Yet, he was not aware of the extreme measures that he would go through. In the monster's opinion, this is fulfilling his pursuit to his dream at all costs.
In today's society, man people will do anything to achieve their goals. They will stop at nothing in order to fulfill their dreams. An example of a person who has done this would be Barry Bonds, or any other steroid user for that matter. No matter the physical or public harm or ridicule they would go through, in their mind, nothing can stop them.
