In my opinion it gives a very dark and gloomy and yet very knowledgeable ambitious side to Dr. Frankenstein when it says  “To examine the causes of life, we must recourse death”, this gives a really knowledgeable ora when he says “To examine the causes of life…” because he wants to find out how people are alive and how people die, so the narrator makes Dr. Frankenstein sound smart. But when the narrator says “…..we must recourse death” this shows how ambitious he is and how he wants to stop people from dying.

This quote ” To examine the causes of life, we must recourse death”, makes the audience feel like he is very ambitious, it tells us that he wants to achieve the impossible, he wants to feel like a god. These traits makes the audience feel like he ambitious and it gives his a slight insane ora, like the gothic protagonist in ” The Tale-Tell Heart”, he is only trying to good things but is doing  it in a very ‘dark’ way, in The Tale-Tell Heart he kills the old man, in Frankenstein he his examining dead bodies.
