I was close with my family, we mourned mothers death and we adopted two girls at a young age in life. Victor and Elizabeth are sibling but Elizabeth is adopted. They have a different relationship its more than a brother sister love its deeper and more meaningful love. When he went off to college he was studying Alchemy and he got really into his studies. He became obsessed with them and begun to learn everything the professor could possibly teach him then after he know all he could know he took matters into his own hands. He started conducting experiments and wanting to know more. He worked long and hard on his experiment and that was his way of life. Victor enjoyed doing these experiment because he always wanted more knowledge. This allowed him to the "Passage of life" i believe because he was doing what he loved to do. Theres no better way to a passage of life than doing what you love. Victor loved working on his experiment and he became so involved with them that he was obsessed and this is how Frankenstein developed.
