Frankenstein

I have started to read the book, Frankenstein, and have succedded to reach half way through chapter 2. So far all I know is how Victor's parents met and a bit of their lives. This is when Victor, the main character, introduces himself and tells how he came upon his step sister, whom be loves and wants to protect. Now knowing a bit about the family, I am yearning to learn about how Victor and his family have anything to do with Frankenstein. My possible ideas are Frankenstein falls in love with Victor's stepsister and he wants to protect her from him because he is a "monster". Or Victor is the creator of Frankenstein because Victor always says how he divines over how things work. Both ideas could be possible for this book but I guess I will have to wait and read the book to see if my hypothesis is correct.
