Victor says that the monster is ‘my own vampire, my own spirit let loose from the grave and forced to destroy all that was dear to me’. This could be alluding to the killing of William, and Victor’s rejection of the domestic sphere. On one hand, the monster could be seen as a personal threat directly to Victor, as some sort of punishment for his usurping of the role of God and then his abandonment of his creation. On the other, the killing of William could be seen as the revealing of Victor’s deepest darkest desire to be rid of the domestic sphere altogether, so that he can pursue his ambitions in the public sphere without any distractions or hindrances. By the monster killing William, the monster is representing Frankenstein’s evil side in the most malicious way.
Just like Victor creating the monster and the conflict they had with one another, it’s a problem we will try time and time again to find out but it’s something that was never intended to be found out. Once the monster was created the man had no idea what to do with it or how to handle the situation. God knew what he was doing and that’s why it’s his power and for no one else to lay their hands on, Victor found out the hard way. Running away is never going to solve a problem if anything it will cause more. Victor’s action to run away caused William’s death and made Justine look like the killer when the evidence was planted from the blood.
The Evil Created By Frankenstein In the novel Frankenstein by Mary Shelley, Victor Frankenstein animates a being made of grotesque human body parts. The hideous appearance of his creation gave the creature no chance of fitting into society or ever being accepted. Throughout the story, the monster who has a “natural tendency to kind feelings” (Bloom 100) becomes violent and aggressive after being rejected and isolated. The creature is wronged many times by his irresponsible creator who abandons him within the first seconds of his life and then refuses to provide him with a friend. These mistakes of Victors, among others, are what cause the creature’s evil actions in the end.
This “monster” with grotesque features and actions ends up killing every one close to his maker out of hatred and vengeance. With extensive analysis of the novel I have encountered with sufficient evidence that led me into thinking otherwise. Such evidence will be presented throughout this essay. Victor Frankenstein, we may say that actually is the incarnation of all human evilness and misdeeds while the so-called "monster” is merely a victim of Victor's mad, selfish, and egocentric state of mind. First of all, I am going to state how Victor resembles more of a monster than the creation itself.
This is a cruel and evil thing that victor has done. The monster responds by saying, “Shall each man…find a wife for his bosom, and each beast have his mate, and be alone? I had feeling of affection, and they were requited by detestation and scorn” (110). After several more back and forth between the creature and Victor the monster threatens to destroy Victor by destroying those around him. Again this may seem like the creature is the
During the murder the Creature tells William, “Frankenstein! You belong then to my enemy to him towards whom I have sworn eternal revenge; you shall be my first victim” (Shelly 122). The only reason the Creature murdered William is because he is angry that he is on Earth even though no one wants him. I would rather defend the Creature if they were on trial for murder because the Creature really does not know any better and was never taught what was right and wrong. 4.
During Shelley’s time period, females were considered to be inferior to men, but Shelley shows how men actually feared a woman’s power. For example, when Frankenstein was creating the female mate for his monster, he started thinking about the consequences of having a female version of his monster in the world. He thought that she can create a whole new race of them and that she would not listen to the male monster and do things her own way. These were horrifying to Victor and all of these were thoughts of fear. Frankenstein feared the power of the female and her capabilities.
Throughout the novel Frankenstein, author Mary Shelley defines morality based on a nature and nurture of ones and it plays relevant role on a person life. Shelley explains sometimes a mankind’s morality can be bad and she mentions it through her the characters Victor Frankenstein, the creature and Robert Walden. Frankenstein’s great desire of creating life endanger his family and goes against nature, his careless disregard for a naïve creature turns it into vicious exterminator and Walden’s unachievable fantasy of finding north pole put his crew in deadly
Victor Frankenstein Victor lacks both trustworthiness and responsibility for his actions. Victor when he creates the monster he thought it was a blessing, and if the monster turned out to be a good thing he would have been bragging about it to anyone and everyone. But since the monster ended up killing multiple people Victor went in hiding and never admitted that all these innocent people were dyeing which show his lack of both responsibility and trustworthiness. When Justine gets arrested for the killing of William Victor does nothing. He knows it was the monster that killed William but Victor never says a word.
The creature wanted revenge so on the day of victors wedding he killed his soon to be wife. This made Victor understand how the creature felt, but he did not care he wanted the same revenge on the creature and swore to find and destroy the creature. In my opinion Victor should have created a mate for Frankenstein. It was unfair to the creature to let him be alone. There were some risks for Victor if he was going to create a mate but it would be well worth
