Not everyone is created with love. Love is the most important thing in our life. I believe that everyone in the world needs love and warmth. Like the monster, wants to love from the creator. There are many reasons that make monster killing everyone Frankenstein's love; to feel left out by maker, to want revenge, and want to know the pain of Victor.
First of all, the main reason that makes the monster killed the people around Victor is feeling abandoned by the creator. For the first time, Victor saw the work that he has created for a period of two years. The job that he built not as expected. He created the parts become the evil. Victor could not explain his feelings at the time and he can't accept what happened. According to the monster, he

In fact, the monster is a good person, but the human made him an evil demon. He felt that human nature is both good and evil in the same time. After the monster saw a travel journal of Frankenstein before he made a job. The demon could not take it anymore, he was very angry. When he has more knowledge, he found that it made him miserable. According to the monster, he said that hateful day when I received life! Accursed creator! Why did you form a monster so hideous that even you turn from me in disgust? God, in pity, made man beautiful and alluring, after his own image; but my form is a filthy type of yours, more horrid even from the very resemblance. Satan had his companions, fellow-devils, to admire and encourage him, but I am solitary and abhorred. This text reflected, the monster felt rage why Victor created it disgusting while god created the human and beautiful and charming. When you create a monster, you should make him look like human. Although the monster was ugly, you should not leave him alone. In the other hand, Victor took three years to create the monster until he forgot the wickedness. But now he left it. Otherwise the monster would not rancor until the other people have died. Furthermore, If Victor took care of the monster; I believe that it would be a good

    Victor had no idea that after he created the monster I would turn out the way that it did. For this reason alone his judgment of his knowledge was not that great in this factor. Victor had no plan to what would happen after he created the monster only that it would be alive. He didn't plan for all of the bad things that would come of it including the murder of his future wife. His actions of creating the monster took a huge downfall and was something that he had completely no knowledge or control of. Victor's moral compass should have come in and took over so that he would ask himself question and carefully plan to what he would do after he created the monster if it did not go as planned. Instead, Victor didn't have this moral knowledge and completely went against all moral judgment. This is exactly what happened when the monster was created and was abandoned.…

    By the halfway point of the novel, Victor has become the antagonist and the monster the victim- which then, reverses. As Victor makes the monster, he abandons it- calling it on page 59, “the demoniacal corpse to which I had so miserably given life.” Victor’s abandonment of the creature reflects his mother’s death early in his childhood, and the cruelty displayed by life there reflects in his own actions of abandonment- his shift from victim to perpetrator complete. After the abandonment of the creature, Victor shows other cruelties to him as well, such as refusing to reason with him, or make him a mate of any sort. By his cruel actions, Victor pushes the creature to commit his own atrocities, such as the murder of WIlliam, which the creature describes as, “... I grasped his throat to silence him, and in a moment he lay dead at my feet. I gazed on my victim, and my heart swelled with exultation and hellish triumph.. ” The creature becomes a perpetrator of cruelty, and through his intentional actions causes harm to the Frankenstein family- cruelty in turn inspiring…

    After being rejected from society and his owner, the monster needed a different type of acceptance in his lonely life. The monster wanted someone that would understand him and be just like him. He desperately pleaded for someone like him, “ 'I am alone and miserable: man will not associate with me; but one as deformed and horrible as myself would not deny herself to me. My companion must be of the same species and have the same defects. This being you must create. '” (Shelley 129). After asking Victor to create someone like himself, Victor denied his request. The monster tells Victor why he is in pain which led to his act of murder. Reader can see that the monster has no innate to harm anyone. His constant rejection from society and lack of companionship led him to respond violently to other. Human companionship is one of the most basic needs of humans that can be seen in the Creation story. It is tricky for any human to find the perfect companion especially if one is one of a kind. K.M. Banham Bridges can agree that the lack of companionship or feeling of loneliness can lead to crime. His study shows many factors which contribute to juvenile Delinquency. He states:…

    In Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein, the line between good and evil is blurred as a result of acts of cruelty. Victor Frankenstein played God, and yet, abandoned his creature. His inhumanity shaped his creation and bred their mutual suffering. Their fate is sealed from the very first act of cruelty: as it is the true creator of monsters. Yet, there is no clear-cut victim or perpetrator between the two main characters. Victor and the creature inflicted suffering onto each other in an endless cycle; never discovering compassion until it is too late. Acts of cruelty form parallels between the creator and the creature including their transformation into monsters, descent into madness and mutual self-destruction.…

    As the start of the novel, Victor is powerful, in control, and is at the top of his game. But as the novel progresses, Victors power is stripped, his life slowly crumbles, and his power is what kills him in the end. “As I sat, a train of reflection occurred to me which led me to consider the effects of what I was now doing. Three years before, I was engaged in the same maner and had created a fiend whose unparalleled barbarity had desolated my heart and filled it forever with the bitterest remorse.” (Shelly 155). This shows that the power that Victor once wanted, is the same thing that he wants to dispose of. The power he obtained, is the same power that destroys him. Because of the creation of his monster, his brother, sister, best friend, and wife are all dead, just because Victor was greedy for power. The toil of his power, is what drives victor to insanity, and eventually his demise. Although power is great, it’s what drives mankind to its…

    The creature’s mentality is unstable. He was not only abandoned by his creator, but also by everyone else he has met or will meet. Again, the “monster” is perceived to be the villain, but he suffers, himself, more than he harms other people. His actions were wrongful, but everything could have been evaded. Frankenstein’s monster is just another victim to society’s standards. In the end, the creature regrets all of his actions. I believe his actions were not because he was evil, but because he was lonely and had no other way to express himself. When he asked nicely for a female companion, his own creator did not want to listen to him; therefore, he has to threaten Frankenstein. Evil is not present when one is born, or in this case created, but instead it manifests out of a circumstance or people. The creature only experienced horrible things without any explanation to why he was created or why he was given life. For instance, villagers raced to wound him or to chase him away because they believed he was there to cause damage. For this reason, the creature in the story is not the antagonist, but the true…

    This is his dream. He created the monster, therefore the monster is responsible for his own actions and thoughts. Frankenstein had no role in controlling this. He was the creator. This is similar to the bibles story. God creates man on earth and they sin against him. This causes man to become evil. Frankenstein is very similar. He creates life and its outcome is evil. Maybe this is a replica of god. If people think Frankenstein is evil, surely this means god is evil. The only evil in this book is Victor for his creation and trying to play God. He faces the consequences and is at fault for the monsters havoc he creates.…

    However, the closer Victor became to completing the creature, he is more enclosed, darker, misguided. He unconsciously proves that that it’s no longer a quest to Frankenstein anymore; it’s an obsession. One would initially assume the monster is the evil, yet it is Dr. Frankenstein who creates the monster and then hides from the responsibility. His cowardice not only leads to the death of his younger brother, but also to that of the young girl accused of his murder. The monster has moments of great intellect and rationality and simply requests another creation so that he may not be so lonely in the world, only because his own creator has abandoned him in the first place. When the creature confronts Victor in the glaciers he says, “I expected this reception… All men hate the wretched; how, then, must I be hated, who am miserable beyond all living…

    “The name Frankenstein tends to evoke not the unfortunate over-reaching young scientist Victor Frankenstein but his hideous creation” (Brooks). The reason for this may lie in the fact that Victor is also considered to be a monster since he created a person who has feelings. It is a creature, but it is not insensitive and it never finds its place in life. Furthermore, it seeks help from Victor and cannot get it because Victor does not know what to do after this horrible incident which cost him the life of his brother and other dear people in his life. The first time that Frankenstein meets the monster, it is revealed that the monster has a sharp mind although he has a deformed body. Victor wants him out of his sight, but he thinks of Victor as his creator and he is miserable: “To this Monster, in a touching gesture, responds by placing his huge hands over Frankenstein’s eyes” (Brooks). The monster seems to have human characteristics and he wants Frankenstein to feel compassion towards him. The murders which the monster commits are the result of his powerlessness and resent he feels in life. The creature is miserable because it drives people away: “His first appearance with humanity, he tells us, already demonstrated the hopelessness of the spectacular relation: the shepherd he discovered in a hut fled shrieking from his sight, the villagers pelted him with stones” (Brooks). The monster also discovers the language as the means of communication and learns it by observing a family. This signifies that he is highly intelligent and does not deserve the life full of…

    Robert Frost once said, “Love is the irresistible desire to be irresistibly desired.” This quote encapsulates a common human longing: to feel loved, to be understood by someone else. Everyone has experienced this feeling at some point, and this stays true for Mary Shelley’s novel Frankenstein; or the Modern Prometheus. The desire for love is found in many of her characters. Characters either search for, have, or lose love, and they act and feel differently based on which experience they have. Shelley uses a motif of love and compassion to argue that love is the most important and motivating factor of human consciousness.…
