Chapters 1-3

I find it sort of weird that Victor Frankenstein thinks of himself as the protector of Elizabeth and how he wants to love her when she is now a part of their family. I don't like how in the next chapter Frankenstein constantly talks about tragedy, especially talking about the storm. It is clear that throughout the story the tragedies will become more intense and keep occurring. In chapter 3, we see another tragedy, the death of his mother, just before he goes off the college. At college we see his dreams being crushed when the professor tells him he has wasted his time on studies, but Frankenstein still seems to want to continue in the field of science. So far most of his life has been miserable, with the exception of his childhood.
