So we just finished the book Frankenstein by Mary Kelley and it was better than I expected. In the last blog, I talked about Frankenstein's creation and how he was relate-able to Adam as a Biblical reference. Well for this one, I'll be focusing more on Victor Frankenstein.
There are many adjectives that could be used to describe Victor, but one of the adjectives that I feel that fits him the best is...Curious. All of his thirst for knowledge stemmed from his curiosity and his feeling of wanting more. His curiosity lead him to great heights in science and eventually to the recreation of human life. One of the games that reminded me of this curious man was a game called, Curiosity - What's Inside the Cube?
This game was rather strange to me at first, but after a few minutes, it was extremely good. Basically, you play as this character who is stuck inside this giant white cube. The cube is made up of smaller cubes as well as different layers. you basically just hit the smaller cubes to make money and buy utensils to break into the next layer. It sounds fairly simple and boring, but it's actually quite the opposite. Each layer has it's own vivid design and the layers have different clues that hint at what's inside the cube. However, it's much easier to play rather than to explain. Anyways, the player in What's Inside the Cube(I'll abbreviate name to WItC since the original name is too long to type every time) is similar to Victor in that they both possess a strong sense of curiosity. The cube in WItC is similar to the creation of the monster in that Victor had to go through many trials and experimentation, just like going through the layers. Each layer is decorated completely different from the others which could represent Victor's knowledge. As he passed through more trials and experiments, his curiosity and knowledge began to expand just like the change in vivid colors deeper inside the cube. The final product of Victor's experiments represent the inside of the cube in that they're both acquired through journeys of hard work and different experiences.
