Human Nature In Frankenstein

Have you ever thought how society looked through another person’s perspective? In the book Frankenstein by Mary Shelley we read about Victor who was deeply interested in science that he even try to figure out how to give life to the dead and he actually accomplished it. But what turns out is a 8 feet tall with a hideous face male and it terrifies him. Victor abandons his creation and the creation goes off and wanders. He learns human language and basic human knowledge like don’t touch fire and also learns about human emotions. The creation tries to approach the family it was observing in a peaceful manner but gets attacked in return. The creation starts cursing his creator and sets out to get revenge by killing people close to Victor. After
During the beginning of the book Victor was trying to recreated life and when he accomplished that feat and the creation stands before him he feels, “...the beauty of the dream vanished, and breathless horror and disgust filled my heart” page 49. This shows how human society can be judgemental because the creation has just come to life and the second it gained life Victor is disgusted by it. The creation didn’t do anything to be disgusted by and the one who gave it its facial features and it’s height is Victor so Victor shouldn’t have any reason to be terrified but he still got terrified when it came to life. But because Victor is terrified by it he abandons it which causes the creation to wander and learn more of human society’s cruelties. Later on he founds a human family to observe. The creation went into the house of the family. He was talking to the father of the household a story about himself while not stating that the friend that he seeks are really them. When the rest of the household returned the first thing that happened was, “Agatha fainted, and Safie, unable to attend to her friend, rushed out of the cottage. Felix darted forward, and with supernatural force tore me from his father, to whose knees I clung; in a transport of fury, he dashed me to the ground and stuck me violently with a stick” page 136. This shows how human society can be judgemental because when Felix and the others
When the creation was created, Victor abandons it on sight and when he later returns, “I stepped fearfully in: the apartment was empty, and my bedroom was also freed from its hideous guest. I could hardly believe that so great a good fortune could have befallen me, but when I became assured that my enemy had indeed fled, I clapped my hands for joy and ran down to Clerval” page 52. This shows irresponsibility because Victor is the creator in another word he can be considered the father and the creation can be considered as a son. When the creation is created Victor instead of caring for it and teaching it how to live like a human, he abandons him and what turns out of it is the creation learning the cruelty in human society which causes his hatred against Victor and the rest of humankind. This could’ve been all avoided if Victor had just stepped up and taken care of the creation. The fact that Victor abandons the creation that he created gives us the idea that human society can be
