The monster was brought to life all alone, now that Victor Frankenstein abandoned him. Sooner or later, the monster realizes his existence and starts to receive fear and rejection from his creator and from society. He realizes he has been totally ignored. Because of this, he becomes ambitious for retribution and seeks revenge on Victor Frankenstein by shattering his life just as Victor shattered the monster’s life. However, the monster develops mental, and human characteristics such as compassion when he met the DeLacey family.

Frankenstein is a book written by Mary Shelley about a man named Victor Frankenstein and his life and how it came to be. He had created a monster and brought it to life by studying and learning natural philosophy. Mary Shelley brought the emotions forward from the main characters by the amount of detail she put into the book. Most of the detail was brought in by the suffering that happens throughout the book caused by Frankenstein’s monster. The monster in this story is a tragic figure that is the main cause of suffering that occurs to everyone.
Life is only in the possession of an individual, another human can end or change your life, but a life cannot be gained by someone else. It’s the only thing you can call yours that no one else can have. There’s no single life form that can take out of all of mankind with their bare hands. But, what if there was? That “creature” would be the most destructive and feared force on planet Earth.
The monster continues by reassuring the creator of his independent intelligence and power over the creature by telling Frankenstein, “This you alone can do”. Here, the creature assumes a role of submissiveness and reliance on Frankenstein. Frankenstein’s monster gains the sympathy of the reader who, despite condemning the murder of innocent people, commiserate with the lonely creature who is in search of an acquaintance, which he will likely never find. The monster also displays power and aggressiveness over Frankenstein; “You are my creator; but I am your master; obey!” The monster wants to desolate Victor’s heart, not by killing him directly,
The basis of the article includes the two opposing attitudes in the characters, Walton and Victor, in Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein. The differing beliefs are Free Will and Fate; Walton believing in free will and Victor in fate. John Reed’s article, “Will and Fate in Frankenstein”, argues the true theme of the novel, not just being of human will, but rather about self-enslavement. Reed believes that “while its ostensible subject is the pursuit of knowledge, its real concern is human ignorance and folly”, meaning that Frankenstein is full of oblivious human impulses. Through Walton, Victor, and the Monster Reed explains his thesis not through mere plot summary, but uses of allusions made, evidence, and character analysis producing his argument thoroughly.
Similar to any other conflict or struggle we undergo or face in life, suffering is an experience, and experiences always offer us something in return – whether good or bad. H. Richard Neibur states that suffering leads people to define themselves, take on character, and develop ethos. However, in this case, taking on ‘character’ is subjective, meaning that its effect can be defined by positive and negative circumstances. The outcome of suffering depends on a person’s capability of handling emotions and overcoming tough conditions. If the person’s strong enough and durable enough to take on a harsh unexpected events, then there is a chance that this person may see the light and overcome the missions with great attributes to share.
