Frankenstein Blog #2

Do you think Frankenstein went too far in his quest for knowledge? Or, more interestingly, is it possible to learn too much? What should Frankenstein have done differently? In a larger context, how should we protect and safeguard the advancement & knowledge?

I believe that Victor's ambition to search for answers of questions that have not been explained. I have the feeling that there will be some questions that will never be answered. So, I think receiving an understanding of as many things as you can or that you find interesting isn't a bad thing. And, it wouldn't be as bad when relating it to how young Frankenstein was when he discovered how to create life because with most people it takes a good amount of years to gain the knowledge and to comprehend it. However, I feel that he was not mature or responsible enough to handle the situation. One of the biggest things that Victor should have done was to stay with the creature and figure out how to contain him. But, instead of that, he acted cowardly and made it everyone else's problem rather than making it his own. And, even though many people have many different opinions and beliefs, with a discovery like this, you can't do it alone. What I mean is that in order to preserve it and learn from it, you need help from others, which Victor didn't have. So, we should keep pursuing knowledge, but we should keep in mind how to go about it and regulate it rather than letting it run loose and out of control.
