Is Latimer like Victor?

I think that Victor and Latimir are similar because they are both obsessive of their own powers and strengths and also burdened by them later in life. Latimir is at first amazed at his ability to read people's minds around him and see into the future, yet he later admits that he is annoyed by the constant presence of other souls in his life. Futhermore, he is limited in his powers because the one thing that could save him from his terrible fate would be to read Bertha's mind but he cannot. Similarly, Victor in Frankenstein was completely obsessed with his ability to create life once he discovered it, but did not realize the negative consequences until later. He too was extremely burdened by his own creation and power that, like Latimir, eventually led to his demise. Thus, while these two protagonists are similar in their mental capacities and weaknesses, their power and suffering come from differing sources.
