    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.…

    When Victor realizes his consequences for his immoral actions, it is too late. After Victor refuses to construct a female companion for the monster, the creature kills Victor’s loved ones, and Victor then portrays his monster as a “miserable demon whom I had sent abroad into the world for my destruction” (Shelley 215). Because he refuses to take on the responsibility for the monster’s miserable life, Victor fails to be a great creator, and therefore, he faces the monster’s wrath. Again, this is similar to “Paradise Lost” because Satan attempts to revenge on God for his wretched life.…
