Consider the protagonist in "Frankenstein". Explain how Victor Frankenstein character changes over the course of the novel, Frankenstein. Please include examples of these changes in the response. I have to write no fewer than three paragraphs, so please help. Thanks! I do know that "the doomed protagonist and narrator of the main portion of the story. Studying in Ingolstadt, Victor discovers the secret of life and creates an intelligent but grotesque monster, from whom he recoils in horror. Victor keeps his creation of the monster a secret, feeling increasingly guilty and ashamed as he realizes how helpless he is to prevent the monster from ruining his life and the lives of others." - Sparknotes

How can I turn that into an essay and I need examples like I asked. Please help!

Victor Frankenstein changed in a few of ways throughout the novel, Frankenstein. Victor changed mentally and personality wise the most.

In the beginning, Victor Frankenstein starts out acting sensibly. But, the death of his mother changed him mentally. Victor became obsessed with dead things, or things with dead-like features, and created something more than he expected. He created an intelligent yet distorted monster and he kept his creation a secret. He wasn’t expecting what would happen later on.

Throughout the story, Victor increasingly feels guilty and ashamed as he realizes how helpless he is to keep his monster from destroying his life and others’ lives. As that shows, he later starts caring about all individuals. From a depressed, death obsessed personality, to a more passionate person. Victor Frankenstein’s personality certainly changed. And most of all, his life changed.

Is that ok?
