Examples Of Victor's Second Creation In Frankenstein

Victor Frankenstein creates twice in the novel Frankenstein. The first was truly a creation and not a monster. Over the course of the novel, a lack of being loved slowly crept into the mind of the created being, and it is at this point that Victor’s second creation is born into what the novel presents as the monster. Victor does indeed create, which is what he intended to do while in his laboratory. However, it is evident that Victor does not understand what it means to be a true creator because he did not love his creature. This lack of love turns any created being into a monster.

Third, in the incident of William, the monster no longer holds a threshold for rejection. It is at this point that the benevolent creation turns into the bestial monster that is represented in the novel. Therefore, it can be said that Victor creates twice in the novel.
