Another example of obsession with material wealth would be when duke and dauphin pretended to be Mary Jane’s uncles and her late father’s brothers, just so they could steal the money that they heard Mary Jane’s had from her father.

His father merely became angry and burn Quentin's magazines and Ken-doll as to remove the images from his mind instead of trying to figure out why Quentin had them in the first place. And, on a more serious note, Quentin hid away his failed ZOMBIES (and kept mementos from them) instead of dealing with the consequences of rape and murder. Hiding away imperfections never has a good ending. Either someone will find out, or it will all be revealed in one big burst from containing it for too long. In most cases, it usually never good to
He was constantly trying to escape from his problems and the deaths that were his fault. Victor was trying to escape from the :monster” he created, however it just drew the creature closer to him. The creature was the instrument in the deaths of all of Victor’s loved ones- William, Justine, Henry and Elizabeth.
