The Development Of The Monster In Mary Shelley's Frankenstein

The creature’s personality is developed throughout the novel “Frankenstein.” As the creature is created , he becomes an evil monster in which he becomes involved in many deaths. He then begins to experience some events that soon start to show him the real life. Some events help him develop an understanding of the world and how things work. The monster is like any human being in the way that he wants someone to love and wants someone to understand him. He wants to live a life where he can express himself and not feel lonely just like any human being. “ You must create a female for me with whom i can live in the interchange of those sympathies necessary for my being,” (Shelley 63). He feels that he needs someone in life and Victor is the only person that can actually help him since he is the creator .
As he interacts with the De Lacy’s he then experiences something that changed his views of himself. “ Agatha fainted, and Safie, unable to attend her friend, rushed out of the cottage,” (Shelley 58). They were horrified once they saw the monster and wanted to avoid him. He wants to show that he has feelings but he can’t express himself since he causes fear by his looks. Another experience is when he encounters a girl drowning. “I had saved a human being from destruction, and as a recompense i now writhed under the miserable pain of a wound which shattered the flesh and bone,” (Shelley 61). The creature sees a girl drowning in a river and he rushed to save the poor little girl but he soon gets shot by a man that though he was causing harm.

The monster’s personality changes throughout “Frankenstein.” He does many things to express that he can also be like mankind but causes fear with his looks. This causes him to express himself with evil and do harmful
