Being referred as the daemon and the wretch by its own creator and other people, Victor Frankenstein’s creation in the novel Frankenstein, written by Mary Shelley, seems to take on the role of the monster throughout the entire novel.

I strongly agree with Taryn’s statement that Victor has no emotional connections with the people around him. Victor has an objective view of everyone he meets. They all serve their purpose and when he no longer needs them, he leaves. For example, Victor regards Elizabeth as his own possession: “All praises bestowed upon [Elizabeth] I received as made to a possession of my own”(37). Victor has no emotional connection with Elizabeth, and therefore, he can not see her unique qualities as equal to his own.
When people hear the word “monster”, most people imagine a massive, horrid, and grotesque figure that haunts people. While pondering what a monster is, mankind thinks of the outward appearance. Seldom do people think of man’s internal qualities as being barbaric or gruesome. Authors allow readers to create their own images of these terrifying beings. Frankenstein is a thought-provoking novel that empowers readers to have their own opinions about who the actual monster is and what it looks like.
