Victor Frankensteins strength in education academically was high considering that he had a good upbringing, his father being a government figure and him being well educated from a young age in geneva.  Victor did so well that he was able to attend a famous university which back then required intelligence and money. He attended that school for the study of science and was so talented that he was able to find a way to bring things that were dead back to life.  The monsters strength in education is that he was able to become a educated and intelligent individual considering the fact that its taught its self  under extreme conditions. The monster had to learn basic human functions something as simple as the sense of touch or cold and hot temperature, speaking, hunger and thirst. He learns academically more things after he finds the Delacey house and learn while felix was teaching safie language, history, reading writing and the monster itself starts reading 3 books. I would say that Victors pitfall was a phycological one then of a educational one. victor refused to take any responsibility for his actions in creating and abandoning something he created. After creating it and not caring for it, Victor thought he could ignore it and move on with its life and not give the monster a second thought which I found very disturbing. I could say that the monster was wrong for actions but I felt that deep down the monster is a good individual under unfair and physiologically traumatic events of constant abandonment and mistreatment which lead to its violent behaviors.
