Some saw that Victor should not create the monster.

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 Frankenstein’s creation, the nameless creature in Mary Shelley’s novel, Frankenstein, displays countless characteristics of physical monstrosity; he is described as “ugly”, “demonical” and a “hideous… wretch” (Shelley 36). However, the creature expresses that his only desires are acceptance and love, but he is seen as a monster regardless of his true intentions. When the creature is abandoned by Frankenstein, he is forced to find acceptance on his own and eventually comes across a cottage in the woods. As an attempt to gain approval, he waits to approach the home until the only character home is a blind man, to whom he explains his desire for friendship.

Literary works that encourage curiosity in the reader to decipher and rationalize character’s actions or qualities are pieces that bring to light just how conflicted and dynamic human nature is. In Frankenstein, Mary Shelly uses “the creator” to further explain this very thought by conveying him as a morally ambiguous, or a character that is neither entirely good nor bad. “The monster” in Frankenstein, due to his moral ambiguity, portrays the complication of Victor’s situation of helping or killing “the creature,” it gives insight to how human nature is mutable, and furthers how our decisions are commonly based on other people’s change in good or bad intentions, just as Victor is unwilling to aid his creature because he is unsure of what he

Victor changes over the sequence of the novel from an innocent kid fascinated by science into a disillusioned, guilty man determined to destroy the creation of his arrogant scientific struggle. Whether as a result of his desire to attain the godlike power of creating new life. After the monster rose to life, Frankenstein was horrified at his creation, and left it. Plain and simple. He get out of dodge, ran back home, and hoped that his perceived disaster would somehow remedy itself.

When someone asks you what your favorite food is and you are stuck because you can not decide because you have more than one favorite. This is just what it is like when you read stories as well. The reasoning for me saying that is because in every story there are many themes one can get out of it. This is like the story “Frankenstein” that is being read in Honors English too. It has many possible themes for it, yet the one theme of it or i believe fits it is revenge. When revenge is brought up in any conversation the outcome is typically people saying that revenge is not worth the outcome. It is also said that revenge is bittersweet, but usually has a ugly aftermath because it can be dangerous in its own ways. Within the story “Frankenstein” there are numerous examples of revenge and character getting revenge. The two main characters for me that was thought to get revenge was Victor and the creature.

Frankenstein when he first awoke was the pain, sad, and confused. Also, he received no help when getting through his first couple days of being alive. The first instance that shows this is when he said, “I was a poor, helpless, miserable wrench (P.105). ” This shows that early on he can assess his own feelings and can remember everything right away.

Imagine creating something but you instantly regret it. This was the situation of Victor Frankenstein, he was intrigued to the point of obsession about reanimating life. Victor created life in a not so pleasant way. He used a collection of remains from different people to make a new life form.

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.

Frankenstein has recovered his health but his dark promise looms over him like a storm cloud. He postpones his labors as much as possible because of how terrible they are. When before he was eager to get started on his work, he now avoids any thought of it. His father misinterprets the man’s actions as extreme melancholy and grief. He thinks that Victor is smitten with a woman but is bonded to Elizabeth.

If, someone is on the arctic tundra chasing a monster something is obviously wrong. Captain Robert Walton, who is searching for a passage to the North Pole Find Victor Frankenstein almost dead on a sled. Walton then inquires to Frankenstein’s adventures and thus the story of how the monster was created began. I believe that the story will show how victor is haunted and ultimately punished for playing god.

In my opinion, yes, Victor should create a female companion for his monster. Like Victor, his monster deserves to have love and companionship. For Victor his relationship with Elizabeth is the one bright spot in his life and his monster deserves to feel that same feeling. I realize that Victor is fearful that creating another monster will cause problems and maybe harm to villagers the same way the first monster does.

Victor describes his emotions and physical description of his creation as follows:
