Victor's Fate In Frankenstein

The reader can immediately see this because the Monster says, “I am malicious because I am miserable. Am I not shunned and hated by all mankind?” (Shelley 124). He begins to murder members of Victor’s close friends and family. His first victim is William Frankenstein. The Monster has no intentions to kill William, but he says, “Cursed, cursed creator! Why did I live? Why, in that instant, did I not extinguish the spark of existence which you had so wantonly bestowed” (Shelley 116). The Monster shows his frustration with Victor creating him in this way and for making him into an outcast. After Victor breaks his promise of creating a female monster, the Monster murders Henry Clerval. The Monster’s anger continues to build up over time and he believes the only way to face it is by taking the lives of those who have a close relationship with Victor. The Monster kills Elizabeth Lavenza on her wedding night. He takes the lives of the people who are in a close relationship with Victor due to the anger he feels toward him. The violence the Monster uses is his way to try and seek revenge on Victor because he feels that he set him up to fail, to be an outcast, and to be unacceptable to

At first glance, the monster in Frankenstein is a symbol of evil, whose only desire is to ruin lives. He has been called "A creature that wreaks havoc by destroying innocent lives often without remorse. He can be viewed as the antagonist, the element Victor must overcome to restore balance and tranquility to the world." But after the novel is looked at on different levels, one becomes aware that the creature wasn't responsible for his actions, and was just a victim of circumstance. The real villain of Frankenstein isn't the creature, but rather his creator, Victor.

The monster has no relationship with Victor besides a need for revenge. When Victor created the monster, he looked at him in disgust. He abandoned his creation after looking at the creation with horror. This feels the monster with loneliness and rage, so he goes and lives on Felix’s farm. However, he realizes how alone he is, so he returns to Frankenstein and demands a female partner. He promises to cease all relations with his creator if he can give him a mate. Victor reluctantly agrees and builds a bride for the fiend he created. However, he destroys the female and dumps the body in the lake, much to the anger of the monster, shown when he states “Shall each man,” cried he, “find a wife for his bosom, and each beast have his mate, and I be alone?”

In Mary Shelley’s novel, Frankenstein, the unnamed creature brings terror to civilians and commits horrific acts against his creator, Victor Frankenstein. However, his redeemable acts of kindness makes his character morally ambiguous. He struggles between doing well and causing trouble because of isolation, the excerpts of society, and his pursuit for love.

In the novel by Mary Shelley, Frankenstein, the creature and its creator, Victor Frankenstein, share a lot of similarities throughout the story. The relationship shared between the two resembles that of a father and his son. Since Victor created it , the creature inherits certain traits of Victor’s without realizing it. Victor and the creature both have an overpowering thirst for knowledge, a love for the beauty of nature and a tendency to use it as a scapegoat, a depressing feeling of isolation from people, a desire for revenge, and the ability to play God. The relationship between Victor and the creature does not develop like a normal father-son relationship, nor does it develop as a good versus evil relationship. Both characters show hero and villain qualities throughout the novel as their relationship develops.

“Victor finds himself farther and farther removed from the boundaries of society as he falls deeper and deeper into his passionate consumption.” (Bangerter 3). Victor lost his ability to communicate with his family and his fascination with the monster brought them closer throughout the book. Victor never learned until the end that the monster was only killing to keep his attention and hopefully bring them together. Once again, Freud would tell us that through his id he created the monster as his mother and his Oedipus complex was the reason for his attraction to the monster. “Frankenstein wanted to recreate his mother but he instead made a creature comprised of socially repressed elements of his wish for his mother.” (Hicks 1).

Beastly, vengeful, and violent - these are the adjectives that often describe evil characters. In Mary Shelly’s novel Frankenstein, Victor’s Creature displays all of these characteristics and yet the reader still sympathizes with Creature and his situation. Through Creature’s violent actions, he manifests his immorality, but some readers justify and forgive his actions because of their emotional involvement in his character. Readers sympathize with Creature´s human attributes, his emotions, kind actions, and need for companionship and juxtaposed with society's harsh judgement of his appearance.

Just as when a child is born and its parents assume ultimate responsibility, the same goes for a man’s creation. In Frankenstein, Victor Frankenstein creates life in the form of a monster. He has no intention to create evil but ultimately does. At first the monster does not come to life but later that night Victor awakes to find it in his room, awake and confused. His fear of the monster drives him away in hope that he will never see it again. Victor had a responsibility to his creation. He brought it to life and decided to abandon it. By leaving his creation he ultimately causes the demise and death of everything he loves. The monstar was his responsibility from the start and he chose to ignore it. The creator will always have responsibility

Setting strong righteous goals in life is what causes a person to be motivated and ambitious for success. However, it is when a healthy goal transforms into an immoral and wicked desire in the process that leads to a down spiral in the person's life and possibly those around them. Mary Shelley perfectly captures how a uncontrolled aspiration leads to mayhem of destruction in her legendary and thrilling novel, “Frankenstein.” The story describes a young scientist named Victor Frankenstein, who through his yearn for knowledge, creates a distorted and grotesque creature in an enduring and unregulated science experiment. This evil passion of Victors makes him blind to the true form of his project, allowing him to create a monster who would eventually

Likewise, Victor Frankenstein allows his emotional senses to give way to a hatred of the Creature without even giving the Creature a chance. After seeing the hideous creation made by his own hands, Victor refrains from taking responsibility of the actions of the Creature, even when his conscious tells him it is his duty to. On the night of the creation, Victor recalls that the creature, who he emotionally describes as a monster, “held up the curtain of the bed … one hand stretched out, seemingly to detain [Victor], but [he] escaped … catching and fearing each sound as if it were to announce the approach of

Victor immediately leaves to Geneva, where he sees his creature in the woods, in which William was murdered, and Victor thinks creature committed the crime. Which is true, the creature did commit the murder of William out of anger. When William threaten the creature that he will get his father, Frankenstein, the creature knew William was related to Victor, so he let out his anger because he remember how Victor abandon him and he wanted revenge, "Frankenstein! you belong then to my enemy--to him towards whom I have sworn eternal revenge; you shall be my first victim" (290). This shows how the creature is feeling and how Victors actions are hurting the creature because he has no way from telling good from bad, right from

Throughout the story the Frankenstein’s monster is referred to as a true monster because of the different acts that he has committed, yet throughout the story the reader is made aware of the compassion and morality that Victor’s” creature possesses, like a real human. Victor is the true monster in this horror novel, because he possesses many of the characteristics that would define what a monster is. Victor Frankenstein created his monster due to his eagerness for alchemy and his unnatural obsession with being like God. Victor does not take into account the consequences of his actions. Victor rejects his creation the moment he lays eyes on it, and this caused the monster to perform the acts that he did. The cruel rejection is what begins the a journey that will soon enough be end of Victor. After Victor decides to go back on creating his monster a mate, he then destroys the half made creature which anger Frankenstein’s monster and this cause him wreak revenge on his creator. The monster tells Victor that he will be at his wedding night and the killing spree beings, Victor loses his father, and his friend Henry Clerval because of what Victor had done.

Recognising the true feeling of his creator towards him the monster beings to inflict pain on to Victor by hurting his loved ones. Revengeful, Victor wants to“trample [his creation, the creature,] to dust” (Shelley 97) for the murders the wretched monster has done and fully intends to commit, similar to how a God in many religions may deliver divine retribution onto its creation. Victor’s supposition of authority over whether his creation will live or die is another attempt to play God. Victor plans to kill his own creation to protect the lives of his family and friends, however, as Victor pursuits after his creation, other humans are endangered and Frankenstein’s attempt to prevent the monster from harming any more of Victor’s loved ones is

He is overwhelmed with these emotions and the only way to release the anger is to bring death to the loved ones of Frankenstein. The monster is deprived of any sort of love from the very beginning of his life; thus, he will make it his goal to replicate this feeling for Victor. The beast does succeed in bringing terror into the life of Victor with the murders of William, Justine, Henry, and Elizabeth. This active desire to harm your creator is something unique about the relationship between the creator and created in Frankenstein.
