A journey of abandonment and loneliness began the night that Victor Frankenstein played God and tried to create his version of man. Fearful and feeling no paternal obligation to his creation, Frankenstein discards him due his grotesque appearance, leaving him all alone, trapped in a grotesque body only to be shunned by all of society. In nature there is a flow, and Frankenstein disrupted the flow the night he brought life to his experiment; he ran away from it in utter horror, not thinking of the long-term plan for the creature’s future in society. Rejected from all of humanity because of his appearance, Victor Frankenstein’s benevolent creature is forced to live a life of solitude, denied a mate created in his own image by his creator and

When Frankenstein created then abandoned the life that he was ultimately responsible for by simply running away, leaving his creature to its own vices in an unfamiliar world, “I was a poor, helpless, miserable wretch; I knew, and could distinguish, nothing; but feeling pain invade me on all sides, I sat down and wept” (Frankenstein 105-106). Frankenstein committed a grave human injustice towards his creation by not being there to foster any kind of nurturing, or affection, he was only concerned with his own emotional state at the time and fled the apartment where his monster was born. Frankenstein’s mother died early on in his childhood, this may be a cause as to why he felt no obligation to take care of his monster because there was no attachment there.

Victor Frankenstein’s hatred flowed throughout his entire being sentencing his creature to a life of complete alienation, “Shall I create another like yourself, whose joint wickedness might desolate the world? Begone! I have answered you; you may torture me, but I will never consent” (Frankenstein 147). Frankenstein only cared about himself he was very selfish, he never contemplated the monster’s feelings, he simply did not care and never would. It was not important to him how the monster lived his life and if he had company or not, he was only concerned with himself and his own family.
He vowed vengeance upon Frankenstein’s close family and friends for his being denied the chance to be accepted by another equally grotesque as he. It was now his mission to make Frankenstein pay for his sins against him, for it was he alone that caused his seclusion by not
