That’s a really fascinating perspective, it’s definitely set my mind spinning. I reckon our theories might actually mesh together in a way.
Consider why Victor felt the need to abandon his creation. Was it not in part due to his dread of society’s judgement, which, in turn, highlights the destructive influence society can wield?
And regarding the aspiration to ‘play God,’ could it possibly be an offshoot of societal pressures and expectations?
The novel is incredibly rich, and all too often, it’s overly simplified.
Great post OP, really an engaging discussion. (At least I think so)
