Answer: alternative D.

Explanation: The main character, Victor Frankenstein, is built on a very ambitious personality. He is a scientist that is desperate for achieving scientific discoveries, being obssessed with glory and sucess. This leads him to discovering how to create life, which makes him isolate himself from his friends and family and ignore his health. His creation is amazing, but it can't be controled by him, showing the price one has to pay for the ambition and personal glory.
