Victor and Captain Keeney, both had to make sacrifices in their own ways, for example Captain Keeney made the sacrifices of losing his wife’s trust by putting his motives before her and not turning the boat around until he gets a full ship when he clearly told her he would. While Victor’s sacrifices is that he lost everyone that was close to him by creating a monster that he should have killed right away because he knows that it is a monster himself, but he was so surprised that he brought something to life so he could not kill his own invention so he made the sacrifices of having everyone that was close to him killed rather than killing the monster himself. I would have to say that their sacrifices were not worth it because both Victor and

Victor lost the one he loved by letting his invention run loose and killing everyone he loved and killing everyone that is close to him because the monster promised to make his life a living hell if Victor did not make him a companion, “She was there, lifeless and inanimate, thrown across the bed, her head hanging down and her pale and distorted features half covered by her hair” (Shelley 186). This quote was describing Elizabeth because this was his loved one that was killed by the monster and by the time Victor got to the room, he already saw Elizabeth dead and the monster was the cause of Elizabeth’s death because he made a promise with Victor that if he does not make him a companion everyone that is close to him would get killed. Captain Keeney also lost his loved one by putting his motives before her and when she did not want to continue on because it was cold he said “I know you’re foolin’ me, Annie. You ain’t out of your mind-(Anxiously.) by you? I’ll git the ile now right enough- jest a little hom’ard. I can’t turn back now, you see that, don’t ye? I’ve got to git the ile. (In sudden terror).

Victor was so stuck up about wanting to bring something to life that he forgot about what is important so everyone that cares for him was worried for example “But I was restrained when I thought of the heroic and suffering Elizabeth, whom I tenderly loved, and whose existence was bound up in mine. I thought also of my father and surviving brother; should I by my base desertion leave them exposed and unprotected to the malice of the fiend whom I let loose among them” (Shelley 350)? When Victor was so caught up in his work this was what he thought of and his explanation was that he could not see those who cared for him clearly because he was too sucked into his work that he forgot those around him. Captain Keeney can relate to this because he just thinks of his job and what he needs to do and he said that he is not willing to return back home without a full ship than those people who cared for him like his ship mates realize that Captain Keeney does not care to think that there is people who wants to go home “Joe (with bravado). Then we’re agoin’ to mutiny and take the old hooker home ourselves. Ain’t we, boys” (O’ Neill 510-512). Most of the crew members starting with Joe they
