Victor never gave his creation a female companion which his monster needed greatly because no human women would ever love the monster. The monster was neglected and the best way to help the monster get love and attention would be by giving him a female companion. Victor also knew the monster would kill his wife if he didn't give him a female companion because the monster himself told him. When Victor leaves his life alone in the cabin the night of their marriage that was completely his fault, Victor himself knew that his creation would try to kill his wife that night and he left her vulnerable and alone. Victor Frankenstein could have avoided this entire situation in the first place if he had been his creation's companion and showed love for him, instead of neglect and
Earlier in the book the Monster says: "I am alone and miserable. Only someone as ugly as I am could love me,". So this tells me that the monster knows nobody can love him unless they are just like he is, that he has given up on all hope for someone to love him, which is why he is determined to find Victor because he is the only one who can help the Monster. I believe that Victor made the right decision by destroying the female monster he had created for the Monster, because eventually they both would have lead a path of destruction then everyting falling back on Victor because he created them. But in another sense it's almost as Victor owes it to the Monster because the day the Monster was created Victor left him to be alone and nobody to care or teach him.
When Victor Frankenstein decided to pursue his dream of achieving the creation of life he was expecting more than he got. The Wretch, as he calls it is incapable of looking even close to a human being, but he's just as human as any of us. Because he has a heart that beats and a brain that thinks, he feels as many emotions as anyone else, stronger even, and he needs to use the same resources as us. He was capable of learning all on his own which made him deadly. He is a human being inside and out.
In both novels, people within the story are extremely shocked and disgusted by the appearances of the creatures. For example, in Frankenstein, you can see Victor's perspective of the monster as he is ‘unable to endure the aspect of the being.’ This tells the reader that he is disgusted by what he has created. Victor then feels that he is unable to suffer any longer being around the creature that he had ‘worked hard for nearly two years, for the sole purpose of infusing life into an inanimate body.’ There is a certain something about the monster that Victor is unable to deal with.
Guilty Until Proven Innocent: An Analysis of Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein “Justine died, I rested” (111), were the words of the male protagonist, Victor, in Mary Shelley’s original 1818 text of Frankenstein. In Frankenstein, Shelley depicts a flawed legal system as it favors men and leads to women’s destruction in three trials: Justine’s, Victor’s, and the De Lacey families’ trial. The justice system in the novel is sexist as there are moments where male characters shirk responsibility at the expense of women. This paper will unpack each ordeal to further argue the sexist law system, such as Justine’s death penalty, including the De Lacey’s trial and Victor’s dismissal. Justine Moritz suffered from Victor Frankenstein’s responsibility, the
Along with the aforementioned characteristics, he also demonstrates peripeteia, anagnorisis, and catharsis. Peripeteia is a sudden shift in plot line which is shown through Victor creating monster and how he almost becomes fatally ill. Frankenstein runs into his old friend Henry which gives him relief and hopes of sanity which could also be seen as forms of catharsis. The shift of Frankenstein’s gloomy outlook to this joyful relief shows the frustrations and trouble Frankenstein had with creating his monster. Later in the novel Frankenstein finds out that his brother has been murdered.

”(Millhauser). This violent rejection is a repetition of Victor’s lack of acceptance for the monster and attention to his family. Victor knows that the monster will never be able to live within society and that his ability to create life is the only hope the monster has of achieving companionship.

Do you ever want to get back at someone with revenge? Well, if that's the case, Frankenstein, by Mary Shelley and modernized by Gris Grimly, showcases the theme of revenge. Revenge first starts in Volume 1, Chapter 4 after Victor made the creature and then abandons the creature after jetting off to his room and then to the courtyard. “Unable to endure the aspect of the being I had created, I rushed out of the room, and threw myself on the bed in my clothes, endeavoring to seek a few moments of forgetfulness.” (42).

As I looked through my window I saw the hideous monster with a terrifying grin on his face. He was here to check on my progress of his friend to be. I was horrified and questioned my promise I made to him. I thought to myself, How could I possibly make another one of these gruesome creatures, the first of which already killed two people and had learned my language? The one question I had was what else was this abomination capable of?
