Monster

owner. In Mary Shelly’s Frankenstein, a monster is created and is then left to his own devices as he hasn’t been trained on how to act properly. The monster is forced to wander the globe in search of someone who will accept how ugly he is rather than run away from him. Due to the lack of attention Victor gives to the monster, Victor should not be pitied; but instead, the monster should receive the most sympathy from the reader.

He was pieced together by man, making it difficult for an average person to relate to the trials that he endures thorughout his life.

This begs the question, was Frankenstein’s failure “scientific overreach, or bad parenting?” (Merrill-Willis, 2018).

Frankenstein, the scientist, creates this “being” at Ingolstadt, bringing it to life. In Shelly’s novel Frankenstein, the appearance of the monster created does not truly show who he appears inside.
