Which parts of the excerpt hint at Frankenstein's desire to act as God?
Frankenstein

by Mary Shelley (excerpt)

It may appear very strange, that a disciple of Albertus Magnus should arise in the eighteenth century; but our family was not scientifical, and I had not attended any of the lectures given at the schools of Geneva. [My dreams were therefore undisturbed by reality]; and [I entered with the greatest diligence into the search of the philosopher's stone] and the elixir of life. But the latter obtained my undivided attention: wealth was an inferior object; but what glory would attend the discovery, [if I could banish disease from the human frame, and render man invulnerable to any but a violent death]!

Nor were these my only visions. [The raising of ghosts or devils was a promise liberally accorded by my favorite authors], the fulfillment of which I most eagerly sought; and if my incantations were always unsuccessful, I attributed the failure rather to my own inexperience and mistake than to a want of skill or fidelity in my instructors.

[The natural phenomena that take place every day before our eyes did not escape my examinations]. Distillation, and the wonderful effects of steam, processes of which my favorite authors were utterly ignorant, excited my astonishment; but my utmost wonder was engaged by some experiments on an air pump, which I saw employed by a gentleman whom we were in the habit of visiting.
