Frankenstein

Victor's character blinds him from seeing the truth about the second creature until he begins to make its body. He commences building it so that both creatures will leave in exile. Victor demands a "solemn oath to quit Europe forever, and every other place in the neighbourhood of man" (107). However, he does not think of the consequences of his actions. His idealistic ways force his mind to narrow. He believes he is doing the correct action by making the monster leave forever. Yet, he does not make the connection that he creates another being with a sharp mind and a strong body. Many possibilities could unfold like the monsters reproducing or they desire a child. He does not think of these until late at night when she is almost complete. This lack of a sense of realism blocked him at least twice from the necessary actions. He should have never agreed to create another monster; likewise, he should not have made the first. He wanted to create it to stop disease and possibly death; however, he created a humongous monster, who was more powerful and intelligent than a man. His idealistic attitude prevented him from seeing all the more likely outcomes to the situations.
