Detailed explanation-1: -Victor’s childhood is a good one. His doting parents lavish him with attention. He even receives a present, in the form of Elizabeth Lavenza, from his parents. Caroline Beaufort Frankenstein’s last wish before dying is for Victor and Elizabeth to be happily married.
Detailed explanation-2: -And, unlike Victor, Henry has no interest in science. He’s into the “moral relations of things, ” a tricky phrase that means something like, “how to be a good person.” See, he wants to be famous, too, but not for discovering the secret of life.
Detailed explanation-3: -How does Victor describe his childhood? Happy, enjoyed many delights, doted upon and travelled a lot until his sister was adopted. How does Elizabeth come to join the Frankenstein family? Victor’s mother visits a family in Italy and sees the orphan child Elizabeth.
Detailed explanation-4: -I was their plaything and their idol and something better–their child, the innocent and helpless monster bestowed on them by Heaven. Victor speaks this quote as he recalls his happy and privileged childhood.
