3) I don't think that knowledge is the true cause of his sufferings, because, if the monster created thanks to his knowledge was "educated" properly, he could be a great invention for humanity, helping us to achieve difficult tasks, for example.
The novel presents knowledge as dangerous many times: with Victor, when he creates the monster, with the creature, who was sad after learning about his appearance and the world that he lived, and with Walton, that was stopped by the ice and nearly died because he wanted to explore the North Pole.
4) I think foreshadowing makes the story even more interesting, because, when we learn about Victor appearance, in the beginning of the novel, we want to know how he went to this situation. Of course, it reveals a bit of the story as we get through it, but nothing that affects its enjoyment.
Foreshadowing differs from each narrator. Let's see some examples:
Walton: Robert says that his men saw a giant creature on a sled. It foreshadows that the story is going to have something to do between Walton and this creature.
Frankenstein: when Victor runs from his creation, we can presume that the creature is going to be free in the world, spreading horror at people. There, we understand what is the story going to tell us.
The creature: when the monster gets rejected by De Lacey's family because of his appearance, we presume that he is going to develop a hate for humans, and that he will try to have his revenge at his creator, the responsible for his appearance and for his rejection.
