“Victor Frankenstein cannot be considered a hero.”Villainous Heroic
• Victor is seen time and time again as being • VF fits the archetype of a tragic hero and
an unreliable narrator- a non-heroic trait so not entirely a plain hero he remains
• Victor is sometimes entirely self-absorbed, with some heroic attributes as associated
egoistic and selfish hence very unheroic with this archetype
• Walton emphasises the heroic attributes of
VF albeit hyperbolic
• Victor’s interactions with destiny show his
congruence with the Romantic Hero
Archetype
• Victor cannot be diminished from heroic
status instead his misdemeanours align
him with the anti-hero trope
• The many promethean allusions in the
novel portray Victor as heroic in the most
iconic classical sense possible
• Portrayal of a knight in his banishment of
an evil creature
• Noble intentions in original endeavour
• Monster In the end acknowledges Vf’s
heroic components
