What's the role of Victor Frankenstein? Creator? scientist?

Victor Frankenstein represented Both. He is a scientist in the moment when he wants to know more about the process of the master of the university and how to evade death developing revolutionary process. However, He is creator at the same time when he wants to manipulate life resulting in a failure with the monster Frankenstein and Elizabeth as well. We can add the fact that Victor Frankenstein was a scientist because he wanted to make new knowledge as scientist do today because the goal of science is to discover new information, and Victor Frankenstein was simply being a scientist, creating new information to revive people from death, but, in the other hand he was creating trying to make a human being from parts of dead bodies, this could be compared to today, making one creature from another when we make a surgery based on genetic manipulation exchanging parts from a body to other to keep people alive. Victor Frankenstein searching knowledge and developing science was as a Creator replacement because according to him, life can come from the appendages of other human beings. With his creation Victor Frankenstein disproves the idea of an universal creator and defy God's established idea. Then, it is possible to say that Victor Frankenstein was a scientist and when he has some mastery in his knowledge he becomes in a Creator pretendant intending to bring new life in the end without him aware of this, but it is possible to say that he was a creator because he succeded in bringing a new life, however, without this fact Victor Frankenstein was supposed to be considered a scientist only.
End of the report.

King Lear's Analysis

Analysis of Scene III, ACT Five of King Lear:

Note: It is difficult only give an analysis about a scene but I am going to do my best.

When the scene began, Edmund instructed his captain to take Lear and Cordeliaaway to prison and to kill them, and make it look like suicide in a letter. But later in the end, mortally wounded, Edmund does regret his actions and attempts to undo some of the hurt he has caused, Here I shall say Edmund has a transformation. However, up until that point, Edmund is put as a villain, a very bad one.

Lear's transforms in his joy at his reunion with his daughter forgetting his status as a prisoner: "He that parts us shall bring a brand from heaven, And fire us hence like foxes. Wipe thine eyes; The good years shall devour them, flesh and fell, Ere they shall make us weep. We'll see 'em starved first." (Act V, scene iii lines 22-25) The joy inj him at the reunion with his daughter outweighs any other concerns hemight have. Finally, King Lear, Edmund Gloucester, and Cordelia dies. The scene ends it on a note of relentless drama, in this scene death seems to be a essence for the play.

Character analysis:

Cordelia - Lear’s daughter , that's the only the scene gives me.
Goneril - Lear’s daughter has a relationship with Albany. Goneril is jealous and treacherous.
Regan - Another daughter of Lear with similar behavior like Goneril.
Gloucester - It is not a character, but is named to be Edmund's Dad.
Edgar- A not very important character, elder brother of Edmund.
Edmund - The villain of the story, brother to Edgar.
Kent- A nobleman friendly to Lear.
Albany - A noble person with honor that closes the act recommend Kent and Edgar to govern the land wisely.
