When Frankenstein is 17 years old, the major event that occurs in his life is:
OC. He boards a ship for America and almost drowns when it sinks.
Explanation:
- In Mary Shelley's novel "Frankenstein," at the age of 17, Victor Frankenstein leaves for the University of Ingolstadt in Germany, not America.
- While at the university, Victor becomes consumed by the desire to create life, leading to the creation of the creature.
- The event of Victor boarding a ship for America and almost drowning when it sinks does not happen in the story at this particular age in Frankenstein's life.
Therefore, option OC is not the correct major event that occurs in Frankenstein's life when he is 17 years old.
