I don't think I see the monster wanting to be remembered as innovative or anything for that matter. He merely wants to be loved. Victor wanted to create life. I'm not convinced he wanted a legacy. Walton might have wanted to be remembered as an innovative explorer. Shelly was a story teller. In many ways she eclipsed her husband, Percy Shelley, in popularity.
