Frankenstein by Mary Shelley is a novel about a man named Victor Frankenstein who decided to craft a creature out of his own image out of the best fit parts from dead bodies. After months of assembling only body parts, his monster is brought to life. Throughout the entire story, the monster is not given a name and is immediately abandoned by his owner, because it is hideous and terrifying. After being abandoned by his owner, the monster runs into hiding depressed and lonely, but then angrily plots his revenge on Victor for not showing him affection. The monster plots his revenge by vowing to kill all of Victor’s loved ones. Throughout the story, many unfortunate events take place, but one can argue that the monster and Victor are equally to

"Accursed creator! Why did you form a monster so hideous that even you turned 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.” (). The monster is starting to realize what he is, a creation and is starting to learn that he is not human, which fuels his anger towards Victor for creating him, and more importantly abandoning him. All the anger and rejection the monster is experiencing just built even more hatred for Victor. "I am an unfortunate and deserted creature; I look around and I have no relation or friend upon earth. These amiable people to whom I go have never seen me and know little of me. I am full of fears, for if I fail there, I am an outcast in the world forever.” (pg. 127).

It is easy to believe that view, because one is not naturally born evil. Although a counter argument can be made that the monster was not born, rather he was created. When the monster encountered William, early on in the novel, he had no bad intentions towards him. Instead the monster wanted to raise William and build the bond he was longing to find with someone. “This little creature was unprejudiced, and had lived too short a time to have imbibed a horror of deformity. If, therefore, I could seize him and educate him as my companion and friend, I should not be so desolate in this peopled earth.”(). When the monster tries to talk to William, William acts in fear and starts to scream and announces his relation Victor. The monster then out of anger towards Victor, kills William. “Frankenstein! you belong then to my enemy – to him towards whom I have sworn eternal revenge; you shall be my first victim.” (). The monster cannot take the entire blame for killing William, because if Victor never created the monster, William will still be alive. Or if Victor was around for the monster and raised it like his own child, the monster would have understood how precious life is, and would of never
