Who Is More Intelligent? Victor or the Monster
Would someone ever think that a killer is more intelligent than a scientist? Intelligence is the capacity for abstraction, logic, understanding, self-awareness, learning, emotional knowledge, reasoning, planning, creativity, critical thinking, and problem-solving. In Frankenstein, Victor was a scientist that created a monster, and when he saw the monster he was scared of the looks and left the monster alone.

Victor was one of the smartest people in Frankenstein because he was smart from his younger years of life until he was an adult. An outside source states, “He's a voracious reader and a quick learner as a youngster, and he reads out-of-date works by ancient physicians and alchemists.
