Who is the real monster Victor Frankenstein or his creation?

/essay/
Mary Shelley wrote the history of Frankenstein in 1816. It gies !irth to
many "#estions a!o#t society an$ %eo%le. We are still looking for the answers.
In this essay I will consi$er who is the real monster & Victor Frankenstein or his
creation.
'er since the $octor(s creation gets alie) the character starts to call him
a monster) $eil) $emon) etc. *his %re$is%oses the rea$er to acce%t that the
creation is the monster from the "#estion a!oe. Moreoer) its a%%earance is a
monstro#s) es%ecially +his watery eyes+. ,lso he is +more %owerf#l+ than Victor)
his +height is s#%erior+ to $octor-s height) his .oins are +more s#%%le+. /#t the
!iggest reason to !eliee the creat#re is monster are his monster action. Wanting
reenge for his creator) the creat#re kills his !rother an$ his relaties. Innocent
%eo%le are acc#se$ for this an$ soon they are e0ec#te$. '0actly) the m#r$er is
the monstro#s in his image. 1oweer) in cha%ter +, 2hance Meeting+ the
monster tells Victor3 +I was !eneolent4 my so#l glowe$ with loe an$
h#manity4 !#t am I not alone) misera!ly alone? 5o#) my creator) a!hor me4 what
ho%e can I gather from yo#r fellow creat#res) who owe me nothing? *hey s%#rn
an$ hate me+. We can see that the reason for its enormity actions is that he feels
lonely an$ a!an$one$ !y its creator) who consi$ere$ his father. 6!io#sly) he
seeks his attention an$ affection3 +Make me ha%%y) an$ I shall again !e
irt#o#s+. In my o%inion) the Frankenstein(s creation is not a monster) !eca#se
$es%ite of his terri!le a%%earance an$ actions) he is not the one to !lame for what
he has !ecome.
Victor Frankenstein is nat#ral history scientist. With har$ work an$ an0iety) he
tries to reie $ea$ tiss#e. 7#st like the non&h#manist Fa#st) Frankenstein
me$$le with 8o$ works. *his is egoistical. Victor steals !o$y %arts he nee$s !y
isit to the graeyar$) to the charnel ho#se) to the hos%ital $issecting room an$
the sla#ghterho#se. It is $ishonora!le to !other the 9ea$. 1oweer) he manages
to reie his creation. First) it raises e0citement in him) een so terri!le the
+monster+ looks !ea#tif#l to him. /#t as Victor himself says3 +*he $ifferent
acci$ents of life are not so changea!le as the feelings of h#man nat#re+. Shortly
thereafter) he r#n away from his creation) while a grin wrinkle$ the monster-s
cheeks. 9es%ite the goo$ intentions of the creat#re) hi$ing in his grin) Victor can
not acce%t that he can feel anything an$ co#l$ want attention an$ loe.
Frankenstein is !rae eno#gh to me$$le with nat#re) !#t too cowar$ to look in
the eyes the #gly creat#re ma$e !y his own han$s. 1e $oesn(t een gie a name
to the creat#re an$ calls him all the time with #gly names like +$eil+) +ile
insect+) +$emon+ an$ +a!horre$ moster+. 'en after his creation reeals his
feelings) he says3 +I will not hear yo#. *here can !e no comm#nity !etween yo#
an$ me4 we are enemies+. ,ltho#gh eerything in the $octor is monstro#s ) I
!eliee that it is not a !east. 9octor Frankenstein creates something that can not
fight) !#t in general his !ehaior an$ actions are $ictate$ !y the %syche of
society an$ that is res%onsi!le for Victor(s s#ffering. In s#mmary we can say
that the characters in +Frankenstein+ !y Mary Shelley com!ine$ in themseles
monster an$ h#man) .#st like %eo%le in real life. In some circ#mstances it
a%%ears that they are monsters who $o not $esere to lie. In other
circ#mstances) we see them ery close to #s) h#man) $esering a secon$ chance.
*his incre$i!le work raises some of the most e0istential reflections in each of #s.
For this it will remain one of the !est literary creations of :I: cent#ry.
