Victor was a man full of knowledge, a man of intellect. He attended the university of Inglostadt where his thirst for scientific knowledge began to really spark, also with the help of a professor by the name of M. Waldman. I chose to add this character to the map because I believe that Victor's obsession toward creating a life, a man made person, was not just directly driven by a combination of mad scientist and the power of creating life within one's hands but rather to show Victor's obvious passion for new knowledge with sincere interest. Humans are capable of processing information within his or her brain creating thoughts, ideas, theories, etc.Victor's thirst for knowledge, somewhere, became an obsession to create life. This, the scientist was not able to handle. The emotional, spiritual and ethical demands of this type of creation pushed Victor far beyond his breaking point.
