Later, Victor begins to hallucinate, and he dreams of kissing Elizabeth, but her body turns into his mother’s corpse (Shelly 35). In his childhood, Victor is surrounded by many companions; however, as he leaves for college, he loses all of them, and he dissociates himself from the rest of the world. This causes him to turn insane and lose his mind. The thoughts that go in his head question his mental health and his well-being.
