Personally, I have trouble comparing Latimer to Victor because, in this instance, I feel sorry for Latimer. He reminds me of one of the Vampires in the Twilight series. Yes, he is Gothic and tragic figure, but there is something mystical about him that I find intruiging. Victor, on the other hand, was just selfish and a coward. I found him hard to relate to, and I could not find any sympathy or interest in him.
