"...that I alone should be reserved to discover so astonishing a secret." (31)
Victor's motivation for creating the creature is that he fell in love with the science of human life. He pines for creating life out of Death. To understand this he felt as though he had to go to extreme means to obtain the result of recreated life. He did not what the money that comes with a new discovery, but the fame and the esteem. This is most likely because he grew up with the wealth of his family, but wanted to prove to the world that what he believes in is possible, even when his professor told him otherwise. Once, he succeeded in his goal, this motivation ceased. He was not motivated to even get out his head for many months. He finally gets a fraction of motivation back when he believes that his creation murdered his brother and he is confused about how to handled it.
