Having not read Frankenstein, I'm definitely seeing parallels here between Victor and Dracula's Dr. Van Helsing. (Perhaps Victor is the anti-Helsing? Scorning faith instead of treating it as something that can be integrated with, or at least not incompatible from, science. And then, not respecting the "natural order" of things and aspiring to things that are beyond man's grasp, like godhood.)
