Quick quiz I made for a project in my grad digital humanities class. Some info is from cliff notes and the images were all grabbed from google, especially Scientific American (https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/as-frankenstein-turns-200-can-we-control-our-modern-monsters/).

Which Character From Shelley's Frankenstein Are You?

You grew up a golden child and everything came easy to you. But like Victor, you try to outsmart everyone and ultimately create waves you cannot always control. 
Victor is a modern scientist unleashed upon an unsuspecting society. Not fully aware of the consequences of his creating new life, he spends his entire life trying to destroy the same creation. Victor is also the unbridled ego who must satisfy his urge to know all and use that learning to create a new race. His excesses ultimately destroy him. Victor represents the id, the part of the psyche that is governed by the instinctive impulses of sex or aggression.

Victor Frankenstein

You are an innocent and quirky soul just looking for acceptance, but like the Creature, when you don't receive that, you get a little angry.
The monster represents the conscience created by Victor, the ego of Victor's personality — the psyche which experiences the external world, or reality, through the senses, that organizes the thought processes rationally, and that governs action. It mediates between the impulses of the id, the demands of the environment, and the standards of the superego.

The Creature

You are a nurturing soul who cares about keeping friends and family together, while sticking up for the downtrodden. You, like Elizabeth, are a happy person with a positive outlook on life.
Elizabeth also represents a character much like Mary Shelley herself, by aiding the poor, respecting all classes of common people, and coming to the assistance of Justine Moritz, when Justine is accused of murder.

Elizabeth Lavenza

You are a person who endures and forgives. Much like Justine, you embody the best in suffering for a just cause.
