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…
He wanted Frankenstein to suffer as much as he did by killing all his friends and family. With this in mind, Frankenstein went on his honeymoon with Elizabeth when a frightening scream occurred, Victor ran into their bedroom to see his wife’s pale head hanging from the bed with all life drained from her (Grimly 166). This represents how the creation didn’t want Victor to be happy with his wife since he could never have someone who loved him because of his dreadful appearance. Of equal importance, the creature found a small child that started saying he was related to Frankenstein, leading to the beast killing William, ‘“Frankenstein!...this death will carry despair to him”’(Grimly 113).

Mankind says that people who kill usually do not care that they are killing and causing chaos. This is precisely what the devious creature did repeatedly. He is doing this just because he wants Victor to be scared and forced to make a companion. Just as important, the arrogant Victor Frankenstein in the illustration had just created the fiend that he thought would be amazing but instead was an ugly wretch that he hated. It stood about him opening the curtain staring at him with his spooky eyes showing his disoriented teeth with a wicked grin (Grimly 44). 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
