Victor Is The Real Monster In Frankenstein

The problems with Victor behaved after he made the creature is that he abandoned the creature instead of owning up to his decides. When Victor started his experiment, he was so obsessed with the idea of creating life, but when he finally succeeded it he realise that he made a big mistake. He says in the book that “The different accidents of life are not so changeable as the feeling of human nature (Chapter 5 page 47).” He has spent nearly two whole years obsessing over trying to create life just for the beauty of the dream to die after he finished it. Nearly two years of depriving himself of sleep and health just to turn around and fill completed horror and disgust of his creature.

Victor's Creation, which he had created later on in the story, had ran off and has gained knowledge that a being like him isn't safe around the humans. Many that he has met have either ran in terror or they have tried

In Mary Shelley's and Gris Grimly's graphic novel Frankenstein, Victor Frankenstein, the main character whom is intrigued in philosophy, creates a creature to prove his theories and desire in giving life to the dead. This occurs as Victor wanders further down the path of philosophy and secretly began to build his own perfect being to who he thought was just magnificent. Nevertheless, the creature was brought to life, but in that moment Victor emotions toward the creature quickly changed. When the creature awoke, Victor suddenly felt fear and saw the creature as a catastrophe. Although of this, the creature is still a human.

The creature was truly miserable and hated the fact that he was even alive. All he wanted was someone to accept him and like him for who he was. Victor was once again acting in a monstrous manner when he refused to make a friend for the creature. The fact that the creature was always shut out from society and abandoned by anyone he ever came in contact with shows that perhaps if he had a companion, he would not have been acting out in so many rages, which results in no longer having to seek revenge. There would be no revenge to seek because he would be happy and satisfied with his life.

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.

This need of power led Victor to create what he believed would be a beautiful human being. But he failed to see that combining the most beautiful human features does not necessarily create a beautiful human being. He was inspired by scientists who ...acquired new and almost limitless powers... (Shelley, Frankenstein, P. 47). Victor sought this unlimited power to the extent of taking the role of God. He not only penetrated nature, but also he assumed power of reproduction in a maniacal desire to harness these modes of reproduction in order to become acknowledged, respected, and obeyed as a father. While bringing his creation into the world he was himself alienated from society, and isolated himself from the community. Isolation and parental neglect cause viciousness within man. Because of his upbringing, Victor had no sense of empathy, and therefore could not realize the potential harm he was creating towards himself and his creation. The sole purpose of his project was an attempt to gain power, but instead of power Victor realized that a morally irresponsible scientific development could release a monster that can destroy human civilization.

First, Victor’s irresponsibility of taking care of the creature causes the misery and torment he experiences, ultimately affecting the creature’s demeanor. Furthermore, the creature is initially good before he faces the injustice that mankind has in store for him due to his appearance. On the other hand, Victor’s desire for isolation

Later in the novel this involuntary actions cause the creature to commit murder. I believe that Victor 1st thought was that his creation would have been something beautiful. Something he would have been proud to claim as his creation. He does not see that this creation is hideous until the last minute. Victor was so involved with his fantasy that he could not see what he was really creating.

We learn that regardless of all the corruption the creature has faced, he still holds reverence for Victor. He goes on to say, “(Victor) is worthy of love and admiration among men”(190). This quotation gives us insight into the Creature’s emotional state and perspective towards Victor. Although throughout the book the creature was set on Victor’s destruction, he ultimately expresses his respect for Victor. The creature believes Victor was most the prized man of all and deserved the most praise, which only cements the idea that despite all that has transpired between the two, the creature still harbors love for his

Victor says it was his parent job to direct happiness and love towards him in order to fulfil their duties as they had given life to him but despite saying this victor chooses to treat the life form that he created ‘the monster / creature’ badly this eventually lead to the death of his own family and misery to himself. Even though victor said his parents

In the novel Frankenstein, the real Monster is Victor himself. It’s simple to understand and very clear to see. He may not look like one or realize that it is him, but many things throughout the book point you to the conclusion that the creature isn’t the monster. It stuck out to me the entire time reading this, but there were a couple spots that really made me realize who the real monster was. For example in Ch. 5, where he startled himself by his own creation and again in Ch.

While Victor feels utter hatred for his creation, the creature shows that he is not a purely evil being. The creature's animated description of events reveals his sensitivity and kindness. He assists a group of poor peasants and saves a girl from drowning, but because of his outward appearance, he is rewarded with beatings and disgust. Torn between revengefulness and compassion, the monster ends up lonely and tormented by remorse. Even the death of his creator offers only bittersweet relief: joy because Victor has caused him so much suffering, sadness because Victor is the only person with whom he has had any sort of relationship.

Instead, Victor simply said that so he could avoid taking responsibility and placing his own life in danger. This is not only immature, but selfish and Victor essentially would sacrifice a life to avoid taking responsibility. Victor not only refuses to save others but willingly puts others lives at risk. The creature had asked him to fulfil his demand, and although Victor did have reason (however flawed) to refused he was well aware of the danger that he placed himself and all others around him in. Even when Victor is warned that the creature “will be with [him] on [his] wedding night” yet still decides to go through with marrying Elizabeth, directly putting her life at risk (Shelley 147).

Victor was not there for his creature in order to fulfill his parental duty toward the creature. Victor neither supplied for the creatures basic needs, nor upheld his parental responsibilities to make sure he would develop properly. Instead the monster was neglected by Victor, because Victor “[failed] to provide for the [creatures] basic physical needs for adequate food, clothing, shelter, and medical treatment" (Cicchetti 2016). The monster was also“emotional [maltreated]” by Victor because he failed to provide for his “basic emotional needs for psychological safety and security, acceptance and

The definition of a monster is very arguable. A monster is typically seen as something inhuman and hideously scary. A human could also be a monster in that they could be extremely wicked or cruel. In the novel Frankenstein by Mary Shelley, Victor Frankenstein, creator of the creature, is the real monster because he is a hypocrite, he created the monster and abandoned him, and he is extremely selfish.
