Overall, Victor Frankenstein had his life set in two worlds. One stage consisted of innocent acquirement of knowledge, and the next stage was the consequences of accumulating knowledge. Therefore, Frankenstein is a great example of what accompanies the subject of knowledge.
Human beings are born with knowledge. And in life, we expand our natural knowledge by exploring and learning about the world. Knowledge is a gift, and we try to use it to our full extent, which is reflected in science and research. The problems of knowledge are that we don't know about the topic of interest, and are never prepared for what to expect. Knowledge is a never ending quest, because we feel we should know as much as we can about everything around us, and sometimes our ego can lead to disastrous ends, such as the atomic bomb and other destructive weapons. Knowledge is paired with moral standards, because people are essentially responsible for what they learn about, and how they put their new knowledge to use. In Victor Frankenstein's case, he kept his knowledge a secret, and the monster he creates is freed into the outside world and Frankenstein holds responsibility for what it has done.
