Answer 1

B. He becomes obsessed with finding the monster instead of forgiving it

Step-by-step explanation:

In essence, and based on the Christianity point of view, human has to forgive the ones who made them evil. Frankenstein is a pure and traditional Christian novel, even with all the scientific approach behind it. Victor is sorry to violate the eternal law that only God can create life. That was his sin, and he can't forgive himself for what was done. In the novel, the act to create life from the death material was Victor's first step to lost his humanity, because he promoted a divine action. Now he was a god (almost a god). But when his creation begins to pursue humanity and to live, he can't accept this because it was his fault to play like God. So, he leaves behind his "divinity" and embarks on a quest to find the monster, no matter what it cost to him. In this process, he loses his humanity, because he doesn't let the Creature live, he's trying to kill him. Once again, violating a rule that only God can take away life.

Answer 2

At the end of Frankenstein, Victor has lost his humanity. This is due to the fact that he thinks he has failed at creating the monster. The monster represents a duality in Victor's life: it is both his biggest success in the field of science and also his biggest failure regarding its lack of humanity.

Victor was obsessed with creating the monster, but he never saw it as a pair, as someone who could also have feelings, this is why he never supported it nor educated it, which results in Frankenstein escaping, killing several people and becoming dangerous.

Thus, Victor's search for Frankenstein begins, but this has to do only with the fact that he considers it as a creation of his and his property, and not a human being: he wants to destroy it because of what it has done.

So, we can conclude that the correct answer is B: He becomes obsessed with finding the monster instead of forgiving it.
