Frankenstein Opionion of the Monster
While many people hate the monster in Mary Shelley's "Frankenstein," for the many deaths he caused, I do not. Rather, I feel sorry for the monster. His life has not been easy, and the acts he commits directly relate to the difficulty of his life. Humankind has never treated the creature well. The creature is condemned just because of his very existence. While some may feel sorry for Victor because of the loss he has endured, I believe Victor deserved every thing that came to him. Victor had no pity for his creation that he abandoned. He treated his creature with nothing but anger, and his creation gave him several chances to find the creature a companion. Victor brought the mess upon himself and his family by abandoning his beast. Victor becomes a slave to his creature, because how how he treated the new born monster. The monster says"You are my creator, but I am your master:--, obey! (Shelley, 122)." The monster has had to force a role reversal in order to get himself some sort of companionship.
