Paragraph: It has been said that we learn how to parent by watching our own in action; however, Victor Frankenstein seems to not have learned from watching his. Contrast the parental qualities of Victor with those of his family. Here you will want to highlight specific qualities shown by Victor’s parents (3-ish) and examples of them showing them, then show the qualities of Victor as a parent and showing specifics of him going against those qualities mentioned about his parents.
