  2. Choosing a Topic After reading the book, I went back and reviewed what bothered me. 1. Victor playing God 2. Monster’s arrogance I feel #2 is a direct result of #1 I read the Introduction by the author and reviewed her background and motives; I don’t agree with her. Therefore, I am choosing “Playing God” as my topic.
