Some may believe that being extremely intelligent would be a great thing, but both Victor and the creature prove that it isn't easy having that kind of knowledge. Victor's knowledge about creating life turned into nothing good. The creature became violent and killed Victor's brother, but Victor didn't take responsibility for his creation. Victors knowledge isolated him from his friends and family. He was so lost in his work that he lost his social life as well as becoming ill. His illness eventually led him to his death. The extreme amount of intelligence that Victor had led him to his death, because he couldn't balance his knowledge and social life.

Like Victor, the creature contain the amount of intelligence. He learned about humans and how different he was from them. His lack of acceptance by the humans, led to his loneliness and depression. Although the creature understood his being, the humans did not and feared him. The frustration within the creature led to his violence and and anger against Victor.

Despite the idea that having great knowledge would be good, having too much leads to isolation and depression. Both the creature and Victor became emotionally isolated and depressed.
