"Del Toro sees Victor as "an arrogant, abusive father" and the monster as a "tragic child." "Our Victor is a selfish child," says del Toro, "who was hurt himself and therefore thinks the world owes him everything. He is trying to measure up to 'Daddy' ...

[Frankenstein: Written and Directed by Guillermo del Toro]
