What Was Victor's Choice In Frankenstein
Victor's choice?

Victor Frankenstein was persuaded by his first monster after it murdered his young sibling to make a female monster in the monster and after a month of work the monster walks in at the very end of his work and victor as he saw the creature destroyed his new creation. Now this is the question did Victor chose correctly? I think he did not and this is why.

The on main thought going through his head is what if they have children, but he could easily tie her tube and make her sterile. And even if they did have children they would just be humans without scars and they would still have to grow up like regular humans
And even if they were super humans they would be in the middle of the forest

    Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein presents that Victor’s creation is a monster and that is not true. The true monster in this story is Dr. Victor Frankenstein. Victor had one goal in creating his creature and that was to gain fame and to gain praise from his creation. The one difference that separates Victor and the Creature apart is that Victor thought that the creature was still evil in the end, but the creature realized that what he had done was…

    As ironic as it seems, and for the many differences shown between Victor and the Monster in Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein, there are also various similarities between these two characters. The way they want to learn, they way they used to love but now hate the world, and the great sense of remorse they feel at the end. Both, Victor and the Monster, had a great desire for learning. For Victor it was more about studying and becoming fully educated in the sciences. As for the monster however: he was more interested in learning about human life, “but how was this possible when [the monster] did not even understand the sounds for which they stood as signs?” (p. 98) He learned to speak from listening and learning from humans talk. For Victor “natural philosophy, and particularly chemistry… became nearly his sole occupation.” They are both extremely fast learners and were able to learn the things they studied very quickly.…

    The text finally uses the interaction between Victor and the Monster to display the similarities of their misfortunes, but then completely contrasts the two characters, leading readers to create a larger conclusion about the text. At the end of the Monster’s life story he demands a companion emphasizing Victor’s role in his misfortunes: “Instead of threatening, I am contest to reason with you. I am malicious because I am miserable. Am I not shunned and hated by all mankind? You, my creator, would tear me to pieces, and triumph… and would not call it murder” (104). The texts ironically portrays the Monster as the responsible figure attempting to change his future contrasting him to the human who refuses to participate in a self-determined change of fate. Due to the fact that the Monster is dependent on a human creator, no decision he makes can ultimately change the fate of his misfortune. Victor on the other hand not only has the choice of the Monster’s happiness in his hands, but also his own fate. By displaying the Monsters inability to change his destiny, the text emphasizes the…

    Victor believes that he is the true murderer, he even says, "I beheld those I loved spend vain sorrow upon the graves of William and Justine, the first hapless victims to my unhallowed arts." I think this statement is not entirely true. Victor's intentions were not the pursuit of evil, although he should have though through what he was about to do. It is true that the murders never would have been committed if Victor never created the monster, but it is not that simple. Victor had no way of knowing the monster would kill; in fact, he doesn't know that the monster has killed. I don't think that there is a yes or no answer to this question. Victor cannot be blamed for a murder he did not commit, but he cannot be entirely innocent when he unknowingly…

    Victor’s rejection and abandonment of the creature and many other people’s subsequent rejection of the creature, based on appearance, reminds the reader of how society (both in Shelley’s era and in the modern day), can and do reject those who are different and Shelley cultivates more sympathy from the reader this way. Frankenstein has had love and support from family all his life, by showing us Frankenstein’s childhood and then showing us his acts toward the creature readers are positioned to think of how callous, selfish and awful Frankenstein is as he rejects the creature and does not deem him worthy. Frankenstein tells the readers of his charmed childhood and because of this the reader thinks he’s a decent man, you also admire how he loves…

Victor worked very hard trying to create the monster not noticing that he was creating the monster in his image.…

    When Victor created the monster he did not have the intention to get rid of him. He created the monster and regretted it but he did not know he would feel that way before he made it. “You see for knowledge and wisdom, as i once did and i ardently hope that the gratification of your wishes may not be a serpent to sting you, as mine has been” (9) Victor also seeks knowledge and wisdom so that he can do good. He had good intentions to seek those things and was planning on doing good which it acquired. Victor Frankenstein and the monster have good intentions when they do things and do not intend for them to go wrong yet things tend to go wrong for them. The monster had good intentions also. The monster may have had hate for Victor since he created and abandoned him but the hate was not sincere because he actually cared for his creator. He could die once his creator was dead. When the monster killed the boy he did not have the intention to murder him.. The monster did not know its strength even though he did not intend to hurt anyone, this is seen when the monster says “I drew his hand forcibly and said, “Child, what is the meaning of this? I do not intent to hurt you””(16). Whenever he does something with good intentions and it goes wrong, he gets very angry. He only wants to do good but he does not know how so his anger is because he can't do what he wants to do. He never had the intention to…

    I think Victor shouldn’t create the monster for Frankenstein. I think he made the correct choice because; Frankenstein may not keep his promises. Also she may not agree with the promises. She could also reject him, and he could go crazy. Perhaps she could be stronger and be more destructive than Frankenstein. There is also a chance that Frankenstein may not like her back and feel a connection. Victor can get in big trouble if he creates the monster for Frankenstein.…

    In Frankenstein, the role of the monster and human are subtly revered with Victor considered more monstrous than the creature he created. This is because first, Victor is portrayed monstrous than the creature because he abandons his creature instead of educating and friendly introducing him to the world, which is itself a monstrous act of irresponsibility. Secondly, Victor ought to know that the creature will likely harm others, but due to his selfishness he places his family and friends at great risk. Some might say that Victor is not monstrous and disagree with the fact that he only wants creature to be killed, because he agreed to the creature that he will make the female form of the creature to fulfill the creature’s need and for his family’s…

    Although the monster murdered Victors loved ones', it is ultimately Victors own fault that his creation murdered innocent people. The initial creation of the monster is the main reason as to why Victor is to blame for the tragedies. However, the monster was given life, the killings could have also been avoided if Victor took responsibility for his creation. Rather, he abandoned his creation, and left the monster alone, confused in an unfamiliar world. "Was I, then, a monster, a blot upon the earth, from which all men fled and whom all men disowned? (Shelly, 108)" It is believed that this feeling of abandonment angered the monster, Victors' creation, resulting in revenge on the creator man who created him. The monster killed the people close to Victor because he was not brought up to know the difference between right and wrong. Victor's younger brother was the first victim: "You belong to the enemy- to him towards whom I have sworn eternal revenge; you shall…
