Victor wants to achieve Godlike status, and in doing so he creates a creature that will never know love. When Victor falls into a deep depression, he blames his creation for not allotting him any peace. When Victor confronts his creation in the Alps, the first thought is to destroy his creation. I do break my promise; never will I create another like yourself, equal in deformity and wickedness" Shelley Victor is the monster, for he has deprived a human being of any love and companionship due to his own selfishness.
Victor is, by his own nature, a very selfish person. He does not care for the feelings of others, and only hopes to gain for himself. When Victor created his being, he did it out of a need for fame, and to make a name for himself. Victor, so caught up in work, never did attempt to create a pleasant looking human. Victor abandons his creation because he is horrified that someone will find out what he has done.
While Victor was at first mesmerized by his accomplishment, he soon rejects it after reasoning returns to him. William is used as a foil to show that Victor is a selfish beast. Victor knows that his creation has murdered William, yet he does not confess to his knowledge. He is the reckless scientist who unleashed a creature on society that was helpless to combat the horrors and rejection that society placed on him due to his differences.
As a result, these acts caused him to become alienated from his friends and family, and turned him into the true monster in Frankenstein. Victor Frankenstein is The Modern Prometheus , for he made the knowledge of creating life assessable, and by doing so, he is cursed to endure the ratifications of his creation. He is a being that has been misguided and rejected by society. I gazed with a kind of wonder. The Creature is rejected by society, and it is due to this that he reacts as any human would.
The Creature is not a demon spawned from Hell. His personality is one that cares for others and longs for acceptance and a family. The Creature is not a monster; he is a human being who reacted in a human way due to the stigma that was placed on him by society.
The Last Straw. When the Creature is first born, he is introduced to the world in the most heartless of ways. His creator abandons him. He is portrayed as an infant learning all the things that parents should teach their child. He is rejected by villagers and anyone who sets eyes on him, and at first he cannot comprehend why.
He is in that state of infancy that makes children not understand the differences in people. There is no logical way that anyone could judge the Creature as being pure evil, and a monster based off of his mental mind set after his birth.
The Creature is not the monster in this novel despite all of the rejection that he has faces, because he still shows compassion toward others. The Creature feels a strong connection with the De Lacey family.
The Creature also saves a girl from the horrid fate of drowning. The greatest act of compassion that the Creature shows is the care that he gives his creator, despite the fact that they are in a race to destroy each other at the at end of the novel.
The Creature leaves food for Victor, and is reluctant to let him suffer. While the Creature is a person of compassion and has a longing for someone to have companionship with, his sweet nature cannot hold up against the rejection of society. It is through the constant rejection that the Creature turns to seek revenge against his irresponsible master.
Agatha fainted…Safie…rushed out of the cottage. The Creature loves this family, yet they are horrified of this demon that they see, even though he is far from demonic. The final act that causes the Creature to turn on his master is the destruction of its potential companion. When Victor destroys his Creatures companion, the Creature has reached his breaking point.
Never knowing a kind gesture, act, or friendship would make anyone reacted in a way that the Creature did. Victor finally decides to take action against his Creature, yet this race for revenge that the creator and creation engage in only strengthens the point that the Creature is not a monster.
The Lunar Island. The one act that proves that the Creature is not a monster is the fact that even when he learns of Victor death, he feels no joy, only a sense of finality. The Creature weeps over the only person that he felt he had a connection with. This is evident in his confession to Walton:.
But…[Victor] could not sum up the hours and months of misery which I endured wasting in impotent passions, for while I destroyed his hopes, I did not satisfy my own desires. They were forever ardent and craving; still I desired love and fellowship, and I was still spurned. Why does Frankenstein first agree to make his Monster a companion? Why do the townspeople accuse Frankenstein of murdering Clerval? Why does Frankenstein leave Elizabeth alone on their wedding night?
Does the Monster die? Does Frankenstein learn from his mistake in creating the Monster? Characters The Monster.
