The creature's decline into the hate of all mankind is a ever-present theme throughout this novel and the movie. The decline is a less gradual one in the novel but a decline none the less. In the movie, we see hate for mankind right from the beginning.
Can we really blame the creator though? Never even named by his creature, his being of unimportance, and his identity is worthless in the eyes of his creature Frankenstein. In fact he has no identity, he is looked upon as a monster that was never given the opportunity to transform himself as a being. We see a defenite theme throughout both the movie and the novel of the creator never getting the opportunity of trying to fit in. Frankenstein is fully aware of his mistakes. He

The creature is stronger than the creator. Frankenstein is fully aware that the creature undertakes him. He states in anticipate, "
some accidents might meanwhile occur to destroy him and put an end to my slavery forever"(115). He is in full realization that his goal of creating a human form has been misjudge and has backfired. At the same time, the creature is wretched with his own mess. "From that moment
I declared everlasting war against the species, and more all, against him who had formed me and sent forth to this insupportable misery"(113). He lives a life of isolation that leaves him friendless, alone, and scared. His predicament has left him to believe that he rather be dead then continue to live that life he is living. The creature's inner disorder leads him to start a snowballing effect of destruction.
His conscious goal of ruining the life of Frankenstein is clear. "I will glut the maw of death until it be satiated with the blood of your remaining friends"(80). Frankenstein has violated his boundaries in playing creator. His monster, although filled with hate and revenge, is more human then himself. We sympathize with the situation as a reader.

To be born human is to suffer endlessly in the hands of other individuals, this suffering knows no bounds. From the inception of the Upright man, and onward into the twilight future of uncertainty, there lays death and destruction in its path. The human capacity for empathy can transform into manifested hatred with words and actions of a minority few. This behavior is not just exclusive to people, aggressive ant species such as fire ants will relentlessly assault other ant colonies to compete for scarce resources and to take slaves, an action that mirrors human behaviors. Even humans’ closest relatives, the chimpanzee, will often raid and injure other primates to annex new territories. Although these measures can be regarded as warlike, there is no granted exact definition of war, and there is a myriad of casus belli for the escalation of a conflict. Broadly speaking, in a general term, war is

The creature is never shown compassion or understanding by most of the characters in the book because of his appearance, and that unreasonable hatred towards the creature is what takes any light ideals out of him and turns him into a creature filled with hatred towards man and compelled to
One main thing to consider is the Creature’s perspective and his development as a character. His experience with humans are unhappy and many judge the Creature solely on his appearance. As Victor Frankenstein abandons his creation, readers see the eventual evolution of the Creature and his spiral to a
In other words, he is knocked down off his pedestal. In the beginning, he carried the attitude that he alone could fight crime and that he was invincible. One example of this is when he tells Buddy he wants to "work alone". (Gillan.) We can see how much he grows because at the end of the film he relies on Elastigirl's help to rescue their baby, Jack-Jack. He doesn't try to rescue the baby by himself because he knows he can't. The two of them work as a team when he throws her up in the air, and she stretches her body to rescue their baby from Buddy. (The.)

Frankenstein’s monster. Specifically, Paradise Lost had invoked strong feelings of separation from humanity in the monster, and had sparked the realization that he had lacked perceived protection or love from his creator. Similarly, after having read Lives, the monster more thoroughly and deeply understands his true separation from the rest of the world, as a monster and not a human. Plutarch’s Lives had taught the monster of human society and human nature, thereby allowing him to develop ideals of his own of human society. When he realizes that his expectations are unfulfilled by humanity, the monster is motivated to commit evil against it, as he experiences a sense of betrayal, especially by his Creator, whom he curses for bringing him into a world which does not appreciate or respect his presence: “Hateful day when I received life! Accursed creator! Why did you form a monster so hideous that even you turned from me in disgust?” (119) Furthermore, Sorrows of Werter had provided the monster with thought provocation relating to his identity and destiny, alongside heightened despair at his dissimilarity to humanity. Moreover, character interactions within the work involving death cause him to undergo suicidal thoughts, which in turn incites his dangerous and vengeful
