In the story of Frankenstein, the concept of death in embedded deep throughout the entire novel. Most of the story revolves around victor and his mistake of reanimating dead tissue, which only causes his tissue to die in the end. His obsession with this monster he created pushes him to the extremes of this world. His creation causes all of his love ones to die, so in turn victor is the murderous villain behind all of this. He is the reason he dies. The monster goes about choking and massacre ring all of victor's family members because of victor not giving him a mate, but this is almost a paradox within victor. He wants to make another creature so he would be finally left alone and put to ease, but if he creates the second monster there would now be two hideous villains in this world.
The concepts of death that are pertruded through this novel show us that us, as a human, create and dictate our own lives and cause our own deaths in the end. The fact that victor brought the dead back to life also shows us that the dead are meant to be that way, because we will never know what could happen or what they come back as. In the end victors suffering is his own creation. He is the reason death took such an effect on his soul, his life, and everyone around him.
