Pursuing life at all costs By Harrison Kirby

The theme of pursuing life at all costs in the novel Frankenstein switches perspectives throughout the story. In the beginning, Victor is desperate to create life when we first meet him, when he does create it he regrets it because it begins to ruin his own life. The monster spends his existence searching for his own identity, trying to live a life as a human, but he is not acceptable by society's standards because of his appearance. An example of someone who pursues life at all costs are people who fund raise for life saving activities such as cancer research, AIDS, stem cell research. Pro-life advocates are also a great example, they not pursue their own lives but join in the pursuit for others to live.
