There are three different moral values presented by Mary Shelley in her novel Frankenstein that result in pain and failure. Although knowledge, love and ambition are all good moral values to have, if there is too much desire for them, it can result in agony and suffering for the characters. To want something so bad that it turns into an obsession is not the right way to go about achieving your goals. Everyone has to be aware of what is happening around them before they get so caught up in their goals that they cannot see the anguish and pain that they are causing to themselves and others.
