Consider this theme:Too much power can be dangerous.Which excerpt from Frankenstein best supports this theme? A."I was benevolent and good; misery made me a fiend. Make me happy, and I shall again be virtuous." B."I have good dispositions; my life had been hitherto harmless, and, in some degree, beneficial; but a fatal prejudice clouds [people's] eyes, and where they ought to see a feeling and kind friend, they behold only a detestable monster." C."Cursed be the day, abhorred devil, in which you first saw light! Cursed (although I curse myself) be the hands that formed you! You have made me wretched beyond expression." D.I knew well, therefore, what would be my father's feelings; but I could not tear my thoughts from my employment.

In "Frankenstein", by Mary Shelley, the theme that too much power can be dangerous is supported by option C. "Cursed be the day, abhorred devil, in which you first saw light! Cursed (although I curse myself) be the hands that formed you! You have made me wretched beyond expression."

In the novel, Victor's constant and secret studies, that isolate him, make him forget the responsibilities of an ordinary human being. He is the creator of the monster, and because of this power, he is miserable. Too much power can be dangerous.
