In the novel, we meet Victor Frankenstein and his science experiment gone rogue, the Creature. At first glance into the novel, many people would debate that the Creature is, in fact, the villain because he had maliciously murdered Victor Frankenstein's family and closest friends. Of course anyone with a properly functioning brain would say that the Creature is the bad guy but what

The audience can not hear me. They sit in their seats and ponder the question of my exact location. Knowing that I am here, they wonder if the poor soul admitted into my arena shall suffer my wrath! Oh yes the know that I am here, for it is them who chose this life for me, made me into the monster I am, starved me to the point where I only have a hunger, an appetite, a taste for blood.
