Or rather, stay, that I may trample you to dust! And, oh! That I could, with the extinction of your miserable existence, restore those victims whom you have so diabolically murdered!” (M. Shelly, Frankenstein, Chapter 10) Frankenstein’s reasons for creating the monster was that he was so utterly obsessed with life itself he wanted to create a being that would never die out of his mother’s memory so no one else felt his pain, So mainly the reasons for him rejecting the monster is because it was nothing he expected and especially creating it out of his mother’s memory he felt the need to reject
In this mission he encountered Victor Frankenstein, an extremely weak and moribund man. Victor soon explains to Walton his treacherous journey to find and exterminate his “monstrous” creation. Most people who read “Frankenstein” have the same perception of the characters involved in the novel. This perception usually has to do with Victor Frankenstein being a victim of his so-called “monster”, in other words his creation. This “monster” with grotesque features and actions ends up killing every one close to his maker out of hatred and vengeance.
Although Victor Frankenstein brings a monster to life in the novel of Frankenstein; he himself grows to become a monster throughout the process. He becomes a disheartened, guilt-ridden man that is determined to achieve his goal but gives up his family. He desires to obtain a godlike power of creating new life which can be interpreted as monster-like. Since Victor is the responsible party for creating the monster which is to blame for the violence, he is the monster in that sense. As a scientist, he should have done more research on the topic and considered the consequences beforehand.
The monster also always runs away from him leaving some traces for Frankenstein. The reason why the monster leaves some marks would be that he didn’t want to break the relationship with Frankenstein because he was the only person who knew and proved the existence of the creature himself in the world. And also the creature thought Frankenstein as a God or father even though he really cursed the Frankenstein who made him to live in the harsh world without any help. We can see this with the tears and ejaculation of creature at the moment of death of Frankenstein. I think this is the most sorrowful part in the whole story.
This tells us that he isn’t scared of darkness. He is very desperate to discover; “such astonishing a secret”. Perhaps Frankenstein wants too much knowledge, which leads to his downfall. Chapter 5 is the most significant chapter in the novel, as it is of much significance to the novel as a whole. From here everything changes and Frankenstein’s life goes bad because everybody he loves gets killed.
However the monster was brought into the world, isolated, unwanted and discarded; he deserved sympathy not cruelty. Modern day Frankenstein’s can be seen as people who play God, by making or taking away defenceless creatures lives. For example Cloning is creating another creature exactly like another; this is a type of modern day Frankenstein as the creatures know that the creature is going to have many health problems throughout its life. Terrorists can also be seen as modern day
This is because Dr. Victor Frankenstein feels the same way about the creature. Frankenstein wants nothing to do with him. He thinks the creature is an ugly monster. This makes Frankenstein so upset to the point that he decides to abandon his own creation. The creature ends up being alone and he comes up with an idea.
God creates “a perfect creature, happy and prosperous”, victor creates a monster who is “wretched, helpless, and alone”. God offers his creation “the especial care”, and “was allowed to converse with, and acquire knowledge from beings of a superior nature”. Victor “(forms) a monster so hideous that even (he) turned (him) in disgust.” Apparently, the monster is trying to make a contrast between him and “Adam”,Victor Frankenstein and “God”. From the monster’s pespective, he is simply trying to make his creator feel guilty by comparing him to another creator,”God”. However, from the author’s pespective, she is using a great deal of biblical symbolism to convey the theme of the story.
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.
