Dynamic Character

"A race of devils would be propagated upon the earth, who might make the very existence of the species of man a condition precarious and full of terror." p. 121

I think this is pretty obvious that Victor is a dynamic character in the story. There are many shifts and important changes that can be marked in his history. However, I feel as though one sticks out the most in significance. At the moment described in the quote above, Victor abandons his quest to create a second creature. This marks a turning point in the novel when Victor decides to transcend above a life of servitude for his own creation. Though it ends in his demise, this change in his character was key. He no longer cared about his own happiness but rather the well-being of the world. He thought it was now his duty to protect everyone around him. While the creature, it seems, had no evil plans with the second creation, Victor thought this may be the case and was willing to make sacrifices in order to attempt to protect others. Victor's dynamic shift elevates him from the slave-like control the creature previously had on him.
