Victor Frankenstein is a flawed character by alienation. Instead of embracing his family, and allowing them to embrace him in his troubles, he alienates everyone - his father, his friend, Elizabeth, and his creation. He continues to try to run away, and by doing so, he forges the path to his failure. Had he accepted parental responsibility for his creation, the creation would not have sought vengeance. William, Justin, Elizabeth -- all of these characters might have been spared their fate. However, Victor abandons his family at every turn, and suffers for it. Shelley idealizes family in the same way she does nature.
The deprived life could be interpreted as the ignorant life. The more knowledge that a person gains, the more complexity he/she also gains. The more wealth, the more responsibility; Victor is blessed with intelligence and education and wealth - and look what happens to him. After losing his mother he becomes obsessed with the idea of life. While in college a professor, sparks the idea of recreating life. Frankenstein becomes very consumed in the idea of bringing back life. “As he went on I felt as if my soul were grappling with a palpable enemy; one by one the various keys were touched which formed the mechanism of my being; chord after chord was sounded, and soon my mind was filled with one thought, one conception, one purpose.” He felt it was his purpose to go farther than any other scientist had ever gone before him. "A new species would bless me as its creator and source; many happy and excellent natures would owe their being to me. I might in process of time (although I now found it impossible) renew life where death had apparently devoted the body to corruption."
Victor felt success in cheating death would make him god like to his creations. After stitching and piecing together something he felt was great he was ready to test his theory of life and death. He was instantly repulsed by his creation; and turned into the monster. Frankenstein never admitted to his family what he had done, never admitted responsibility for his actions. He might as well have killed Elizabeth, William, Justine, and Clerval with his own hand. The so called “Monster” only wanted companionship; he did not want to murder those people. The circumstances forced him to commit murder. Frankenstein was the instigator of those circumstances. “My first thought was to discover what I knew of the murderer and cause instant pursuit to be made. But I paused when I reflected on the story I had to tell.”, showed that Victor had the knowledge that he was the reason William was dead. Frankenstein didn’t need to know about the murderer, because he was the murderer. “A being whom myself had formed, and eluded with life, had met me at midnight among the precipices of an inaccessible mountain.”

Victor certainly created something that caused destruction, not only in his own life but in others lives as well. Justine took the fall for Victor, dying for his secret. Elizabeth died because Victor chooses not to create another monster. The monster did not necessarily want another monster-like companion, he just wanted acceptance. Victor brought about his own destruction. Victor may have admitted to creating the monster, but he denied that he had driven the monster to commit murder. He needed to admit, not only to himself, but to his family that he was the one responsible for William’s murder. By not admitting this, he allowed his friend Clerval and his wife Elizabeth to be murdered as well. Justine was put to death in his place because he would not take the blame for his actions. His determination that his secret not be discovered became his downfall. Victor was responsible for every action of his own and for the actions of the monster. “While his creator, Victor Frankenstein, shrouded himself in secrecy to avoid his fellow students, family and friends, the Monster drifted toward civilization to find comfort and fellow feeling. However much he wanted to have and to be a friend, community was unimaginable.” So in the end, Frankenstein lost everything. Frankenstein led himself down the path of destruction. He lost his friend, wife, and brother. He was loved by no one. All those whom he had cared about were dead. His experiment had turned him into a shell of hatred and despair.
His focus on his creation, led him to a black hole, from which there was no escape.
Frankenstein’s ambition did lead to disaster, but he was also the monster with no regard for
Human life.
