Question

According to the author, Frankenstein parts from the traditional figure of the overreacher in

• A. his exaggerated will
• B. his atypical purpose
• C. the excesses of his method
• D. the inevitability of his failure

Answer 1

The correct option is B his atypical purpose

Answer is B.

The concluding paragraph distinguishes Frankenstein from the other overreachers in his desire not to extend his own life but to impart life to another (by creating his monster). Thus, his purpose is atypical of the traditional overreacher. To say that someone parts from the traditional figure of the overreacher is to say that he differs from it.
