Dynamic character: is one who changes in some important way as a result of the story's action
Throughout the story, Victor Frankenstein is constantly trying to avoid the monster that he created. As soon as the monster comes to life, Victor immediately rejects the creature. He clearly wants nothing to do with him, and he wants to forget about the monster even existing. This attitude of hatred and anger against the monster also remain constant throughout the plot, but his desire to stay away from the monster changes. When Victor does not feel that his friends and family are threatened by the monster, he avoids contact with the monster at all costs. However, once he realizes what the monster is capable of, he starts to worry about his safety and the safety of his family. After too much death and destruction occurs for Victor to handle, he finally decides to make a change. It is on his wedding night when Elizabeth is killed that he takes on a new attitude about the monster. He has now decided to go after the monster to seek out justice and revenge for all the bad things that the monster has done.
