Monster In Mary Shelley's Frankenstein

An ugly monster is made as a result of someone's intelligence, but that monster turns out to be the creator’s enemy. He kills and causes agony, but does anyone consider his feelings as the creation? Who is to be blamed for Victor’s family’s death? Is it the creature or the creator? The monster admits to his wrongful acts: “But it is true that I am wretched. I have murdered the lovely and the helpless; I have strangled the innocent as they slept, and grasped to death his throat who never injured me or any other living thing. I have devoted my creator, the select specimen of all that is worthy of love and admiration among men, to misery.” (Shelley 274). Victor created life, but he is not responsible for the creation’s actions. The monster has

He starts to feel lonely because there is no one for him to connect with; everyone that he encounters is intimidated by his appearance. He eventually reveals that he needs a companion and he demands Victor to create one for him. Once again, he refers to Adam and Eve: “But it was all a dream; no Eve soothed my sorrows nor shared my thoughts; I was alone. I remembered Adam's supplication to his Creator. But where was mine?"

The monster eventually gains power as he continues to be the cause of Victor’s fear. The monster gains power because he manages to kill Victor’s loved ones and he feels like he has control over Victor. After Victor breaks his promise and decides not to make a partner for his monster, the monster says: “ Slave, I before reasoned with you, but you have proved yourself unworthy of condescension. Remember that I have power; you believe yourself miserable, but I can make you so wretched that the light of day will be hateful to you. You are my creator, but I am your master; obey! (Shelley 206) Victor’s creature calls him a slave and reminds him that he has power. So far, the monster has killed Victor’s brother and his wife. The monster knows that Victor will continue to live in fear because of
