In my view, the monster shouldn’t be criticized because all accountability of the tragic events lye with Victor, for his inattention to his creation was the cause of the monstrosity that followed. I support the writer’s perspective on responsibility and neglect. 'Frankenstein as a Child Abuser ' reinforces my hypotheses in every
