Does Latimer resemble Victor?

Frankenstein v. The Lifted Veil

Latimer and Victor are not too similar. They are both self-centered and trapped within their own heads. The former is passive and weak in character, a very self-pitying excuse for an adult; Victor, at least, owns up to his mistakes, even though he shifts the blame more towards Fate than himself. Victor is far more active and assertive. He is less insipid, though this might be because Latimer's education was such a bad fit, and Victor was spoiled with a very expensive, suitable education. Latimer's mind, for want of the kind of structure and application it needs, deteriorates a little in adulthood - he is fanciful, and his family does not take him too seriously in the beginning. Victor is always seen as his father's immediate successor, and he certainly never questions it. He knows it is his legal right to take his place as head of the household on his father's death. I think Latimer would waffle on the subject, if presented with it.
