Improved Essays
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. …show more content…
The monster had to teach himself everything and learn why people hated him. The monster started destroying his creators life and made his life a "living hell." This is kind of ironic because of how similar the monster was portrayed in Frankenstein. As a Satan figure he took part to the Satan role and ran with it taking everyone in the situation in it with him. He destroyed Victors life including his family. Not to mention his soon to be wife's family because of the murder that took place between the monster and Victor's wife. The monster felt so alone that he went to the bottom of the universe to find someone to relate to (Hogsette)All of this comes to the conclusion that religion comes into everything no matter the situation. There is always a way out and one just has to search and find

    As Rosemary Jackson says, it is Victor’s rejection of his creation that turns the creature evil: “Initially, this body is not evil - it is outside moral issues, beyond good and evil - but it has evil thrust upon it and gradually comes to assume a more conventional role as an evil monster” (49). The monster asks Victor for acceptance, but several times Victor refuses to take responsibility as a creator, which is all the monster wants of him: “Yet you, my creator, detest and spurn me, thy creature, to whom thou art bound by ties only dissoluble by the annihilation of one of…

    Victor’s actions and reasons have been widely discussed from an ethical and unethical point of view ever since this book was published. Some would say that Victor did this out of discovery, like we have done with plenty of influential studies in our society. Others would only see the consequences for his actions or how he got to this point and think they were unethical for human society. In my opinion I believe Victor’s actions were completely without a doubt unethical. The desecration of human graves in order to build his monster, the abandoned his creation from the first moment he gave it life, and lastly taking no responsibility for his creation, killing countless innocent people does not seem like an ethical man.…
