Responsibility by Micah Wages
What is Responsibility.
Responsibility is the why we keep order, if we had no responsibility in the world people could just run around doing whatever they wanted to do with no consistence. Also there would know praise or acknowledgment for what we had now. This is why responsibility is so important in are our world if we didn't have it there would be no structure.
What does Frankenstein have to do with responsibility?

Responsible for are selfs.
"Who shall conceive the horrors of my secret toil as i dabbled among the unhallowed damps of the grave or tortured the living animal to animate the lifeless clay: (Shelley 39). in this quote victor is talking about how he is making the creature and its putting him under a lot of stress. this is showing that we have to be responsible for are own action what he was doing was hard but he believed it would pay off. Is this worth it that is something that victor is responsible to decide and we know we made the wrong choices.
