Who is the real monster?
In all stories there are many roles to play but the most important roles is the role of the bad guy and what he/she bring to the story. The bad guy role is played by the monster or at least that what your make to believe in the story he is created by victor a man who’s purpose was to create life or was it society who judged the monster for being what he was created to be. The question remains who is the real monster, the monster for being created or victor for creating the monster or human society who judged the monster.
In the story victor wants to create life and decides to create the monster so he can proof that life can also be created by man. He had all the materials to create the monster when he was finished with his creation he thought that was the best creation, he never realized that the monster would harm the people he loved and kill his soon to be wife. He made the creation without thinking about what it would do or how it would act in society. He made a choice that cost many peoples live. He should have thought before what consequences the creation would bring, but he doesn’t think he just wanted to be recognized he just thought about himself and what he wanted. He also hide it from people maybe if he would have come out and said he had created a monster and warned people those people would have not died There for victor would be the monster because he was the one who made the creation that killed so many people and cost the life of his cousin and future wife (3-5 Shelley).
Also in the story they want to make the monster seem like a bad creation. For the mistakes he makes for being who the creator made him to be. Indeed he did kills sever people but that doesn’t mean he’s a bad person he didn’t ask to be created he didn’t ask to become a monster. Yes he might not be like the other human being but doesn’t mean he doesn’t feel and knows that people don’t except him for

    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…

    Throughout the novel, The Monster is characterized as a sensitive being; he wants to be loved and resents the fact that he was rejected by Frankenstein. As he gains knowledge and begins to grow more intelligent, The Monster comes to the realization that Victor abandoned him, that he is unwanted. This frustrates him as he continually gets rejected by society. Although Victor seems to think very highly of himself, The Monster has a very low self-esteem, “I, the miserable and the abandoned, am an abortion, to be spurned at, and kicked, and trampled on” (pg #), which stems from his rejection by both Victor and society as a whole. This character trait of The Monster makes the sort of selfishness of Victor, as it shows that, in his search for fame and glory, he was uncaring of the consequences. In creating The Monster, Victor’s intentions were not what they should have been; instead of trying to create life in order to make the world better, he was doing is for the sole purpose of becoming a God-like person. His God-complex is apparent in other parts of the novel as well, when he meets The Monster in the mountains and they have a conversation about Victor’s want to destroy The…

    Mary Shelley either made this very ironic or very true. Either Victor is an ironic name because his whole life was messed up, he lost all love ones, his precious time, and his dreams. On the other hand, Victor could be looked at as victorious, he figured out how to make life out of something that was dead and that is something no one has done, he made it kind / moral, and was able figure out the secret of not wasting time on knowledge- which many men can waste their whole lives figuring out. The Monster kills himself because he is too sad to see his creator die “The fallen angel becomes the malignant devil. Yet even the enemy of God and man had friends and associates in his desolation; I am alone, ” and he continues to say “Was there no injustice in this? Am I to be thought the only criminal, when all humankind sinned against me?” (Shelley 224).…

    Instead of standing up and taking the blame for creating the monster which ultimately led to the death of his brother, he lets the trial go on and lets Justine die for a crime she did not commit. Victor is more accountable for this death than Justine is because of everything he did to the monster to lead up to this moment. He created the creature and then left it all alone in the wild. The monster could obviously reason and wanted to harm his creator for his abandonment. As he was walking he heard that this man was related to Victor, killed him, and then planted evidence so that it looked like Justine had committed the crime. Victor refuses to take charge of his own actions and instead casts a gloomy fate on all of those close to him. His wife, Elizabeth, is killed later in the story right after they get married. Victor thought that the monster would kill him so he gets away from his wife. He then realizes the creature meant that he would kill his wife but he is too late and she has already been killed.

    Victor 's creation then set out to find his creator in hopes that he would invent a female companion for him. “I ought to be thy Adam, but I am rather the fallen angel” (Shelley 128). “You must create a female for me… and I demand it of you as a right you must not refuse to concede.” (Shelley 134) the “monster” was agitated that he was created alone and without a partner to confide in as the characters did in the book.

    This is exactly what happens to Victor when he becomes so focused on making the creature rather than being in the real world. He also explains that “this crisis” of technology taking over our lives “leads to a general realization about our technology: that it is us” (Vargish). He argues that humans are at fault for the huge technological advances going on today and that it has gone too far, due to the drive to discover. He also argues that it represents our true aspirations in life. For instance, Vargish shows how Victor abuses technology for his own personal gain as he argues that “he plans to employ his new technology to create a race of dependents who will worship and praise him” (Vargish). This shows that Victor uses technology for what he is truly after-worship and praise. Vargish argues that Victor is more concerned about his pride than making the creature. This behavior is much better represented by the creature rather than Victor, which demonstrates how crossing the line with technology and especially for the sake of pride can lead to big consequences. Due to Victor’s pride, the creature that he regrets creating in the first place, becomes an attention seeking monster reflecting who Victor really is, or as Vargish stated “Frankenstein's monster is Frankenstein; the creation expresses the creator”…

    The Monster compares Victor to God, as they both act as creators, although immediately points out every reason Victor cannot be a God. He then continues on to create his own hierarchy where even the devil reigns supreme to Victor and himself. This contrasts Victor’s previous imagery of hierarchy since the Monster places Victor at the bottom, confronting Victor on the consequences of his actions. Victor’s character suffers due to his quest for knowledge to solve answers, yet the Monster suffers for his knowledge of the very same answers Victor suffers to find. The misfortunes for both Victor and the Monster due to their knowledge links readers to question the determination each character had in their fate, as a construed creature and a human, and what this can say about their own…

    The creature created by Victor Frankenstein was very vicious and evil as described in the story. The book creates an image of the creature as a monster that murders people close to Victor. The monster is actually a victim of an injustice taking place. The creature understands that in his life there is no justice, he tries to make himself perfect in order to change his injustice, and the willingness of searching for fairness gives the story a sense of inspiration and life lessons.…

    I feel like it was a real injustice for the monster by the way he was treated, he actually didn't deserve it. Only because he was scary people didn't have to judge him say mean thing about him or fear him when at first he wasn't a threat. That's why he sought revenge, justice for himself. Because even his creator (Victor) feared him, and yes he did kill two of his loved ones, but the monster stood up for his actions and admits it but he was guilty for it and was begging for Victor understanding. And lonely, and shunned, he says that he struck out at William in a desperate attempt to injure Victor, his cruel creator. Later on the monster begs Victor to create a companion for him, a monster equally grotesque to serve as his particular…

    Each monster has two stories, the story of its creation and real motives for why it was created, and the story of the monster itself. Monsters have been used throughout history to scare people into thinking a certain way or acting a certain way or even simply as a scarecrow dimming down curiosity with fear of death or bodily harm, the monster that Cohen calls the monster of prohibition. Cohen shows that monsters can be a political tool to keep people contained under the heavy hand of government and order, or to discourage exploration that would harm a trade business as the medieval merchants are accused of creating the Leviathan to scare off increased exploration of alternative trade routes.…

    What is a monster? Is it a horrible creature or human that goes out for the kill and doesn’t own up to their crime? Or is it a disfigured living thing that does not look human? Who is the real monster here? Is it Victor or his creation or both? Some would say “Victor’s creation” because it does not look human and looks scary and ugly. Others would say “Victor” because of what he did in his past. I think Victor is the real monster throughout the entire book. Yes, Victor’s creation seems to sound like the monster but really if you look at it more closely, the real monster would be Victor Frankenstein.…
