"I was benevolent and good; misery made me a fiend." (69)
Even though at the time that this story was written, their was not technology, this could be a cautionary tail against the expansion of it. This is illustrated by Victors regret in making the creature. He was so determined to prove himself to those who did not believe that it could happen that he did not take the time to think about the consequences of his actions. Creating life is a wonderful idea. Creating life from death, might not work out as expected. Today, scientists are excited about improvement to technologies, but how do they no what will help and what will hurt the people using them. The world is so focused on TV, Computers, cell phones, and video games, that many people become inactive, and detach from life outside the technological world. Families are becoming distant children are spending more time playing computer games that spending time with their parents and siblings outside. Just like Frankenstein's creature, technology was meant to be good and can be good, but is used for evil.
