He believes he can improve upon God’s creation, and in the process he finds the answer to immortality; “Life and death appeared to me ideal bounds, which I should first break through, and pour a torrent of light into our dark world” (51). He believes his discovery will allow him to create a superhuman that will be the remedy to humanity’s maladies. But, in his quest to strive towards Godlike status, he creates a creature that will never know love or acceptance because of his dismissal of his creature directly following its creation. “After days and nights of incredible

It’s almost second nature to associate those characteristics with a monster just as it is when the Creation is first introduced in the book, Frankenstein. However, the true monster in Frankenstein isn’t the one with yellow skin and black lips. The monster is Victor, the one who constructed the Creation. Firstly, Victor completely abandoned his creation.…

    Having created this life, Victor is essentially the parent (or the God, depending how much credit you want to give him) of the Creature, and the first impression of humanity he gives it is hatred. Any reader could feel for the Creature in this moment, but since the narration is from Victor's point of view, with a frame narrator who is even more biased toward him, the lack of compassion by Victor isn't pointed out. The fate of the Creature may have been entirely differently had Victor not acted out of reptilian fear and disgust toward the life he made. By these actions, Victor's nature is revealed: he is selfish and incapable of compassion or empathy toward anyone imperfect, and this creates in the novel the theme of the power of creation, and how science without compassion will always lead to…

    Although undeveloped, the monster has a powerful skill of eloquence which influences people to pity him. While lamenting, the monster manages to raise regret in Victor causing him to feel “what the duties of a creator were” (70). The monster reveals the skills of his speech when Victor, who seeks revenge, holds back his rage and listens to his creation. Holding a calm countenance, the creature prevents his inner monster to arise. Used to gain love instead of glory, his power becomes beneficial instead of destructive.…

    What are some characteristics that define a monster? Is it an imaginary creature that is frightening, or possibly a malformed mutant animal? Some monsters may be neither of those two things. On the other hand, it could be the sick twisted mind that brings a creature into this world. In Frankenstein, by Mary Shelley, the true monster in this story is Victor.…

    Frankenstein Man’s natural state, according to the philosophical pioneer Rousseau, is inherently good. Unadulterated by corrupt influences, man’s innate response is to do all things right, including keeping one’s duties. Mary Shelley’s “Frankenstein” solidifies this theory of a native righteousness in humanity, and provides the character of Dr. Frankenstein as a soul soiled by society, specifically his family. Victor Frankenstein, born into a wealthy, loving family, appears to be nurtured within an ideal environment; Victor is given the illusion of the quintessential example for responsible parenting. Yet Victor’s obsession with bestowing life on a demonic form and his neglect of the final creation stems from his supposed encouraging childhood.…

    He would often yearn to dive into it to cleanse himself of the responsibility of Justine and William’s death. He would wish to become one within nature because it was beautiful and calm, opposite of what Victor thought of himself, a man riddled with guilt and fear. The creature, in a similar state of loneliness and depression, wandered throughout the forest regaining “pleasure, that had long appeared dead, revive within me…forgetting my solitude and deformity, dared to be happy” (Shelley 129). Nature affects the creature exceedingly, turning his emotions in a complete 180°, in spite of being lonely. The creature is in comfort of the beauty of nature.…

    In his narrative, and even in the following encounters Victor and Walton have with him, he is shown as a complex being with great capacities, such as intellect, eloquence, and sensitivity. He is prone to great love, empathy and compassion (as shown with towards the cottagers), as well as fear, rage and violence towards those who have wronged him (like Victor), displaying a humanity like any other person. Therefore, what drives the Creature towards his malevolent intentions and awful acts he commits is the experience of neglect, the knowledge of Victor’s hatred from the letters and encounters, and society’s dejection of his capabilities and humanity. By failing to care for, empathize with, and regard the Creature as a human being rather than a science experiment gone wrong, Victor generates tragedies for which he blames the existence of the being (because of him), instead of his disregard for its well-being in the very beginning of its life. Psychologically, the neglect of a parent towards their child early on results in problematic behavior later in life.…
