Or is the lack of nurturing that causes him to be so vile? Although the creature can be held accountable for his actions, Frankenstein's lack of compassion ultimately leads to the monster's cruelty. The creature has a face that only a mother could love. His creator even refers to him as "horrid" (Shelley…

not by my precepts, at least by my example, how dangerous is the acquirement of knowledge, and how much happier that man is who believes his native town to be the world, than he who aspires to become greater than his nature will allow (Shelley 51).” Victor Frankenstein, in his obsession with the pursuit of knowledge, devoted his early years to creating life. Upon succeeding, he realized his mistake of intruding on matters superior to his own; Frankenstein then focused on destroying his monstrous…
