When compared to a hideous manmade being that kills and terrorizes all of humanity regularly, a human being is not at all a monster. To begin, in the science fiction novel Frankenstein, the author Gris Grimly starts by showing that Victor created the wretch without knowing the dangers that would happen in the future and then ran away after seeing the monster-looking creation he didn’t intend to make, which made the devil-like contrivance mad. Hence, he killed multiple of Victor’s loved ones. Consequently, the wretch killed more and more people as the selfish human hunted him for revenge. Even though some people may have rational evidence to support that Frankenstein is the real monster, much of the evidence has holes in the reasoning that …show more content…

This actively demonstrates that the creation by humanity’s definition of a monster fantastically fits into that category by looking scary, tall, and something that a lot of people are scared of. To sum up, the devilish thing is more a monster than Victor since the way society says if something is a monster or not fits into what the fiend
