Monster Monologue
“My dear creator, please make me a companion! I live my life hiding in the shadows, all alone. Whenever a person sees me, they shriek with fear from seeing such a horrendous face and then run away as if they are in danger. Make me a companion as hideous as I am, and I promise that I will never bother you nor hurt anyone ever again. I will let you and everyone else be. Just please, give me a companion to spend the rest of my life with. So I can be happy and feel loved like a normal person. Please, master. Give me this one favor, for you do owe it to me for making me like this in the first place.”

I begged him, my creator. I stared at him, pleading with my eyes as I waited for a response. His face was expressionless. Not a line by his mouth,

I kept looking at him, but he never looked at me. He looked down and took a deep breath. He was nervous.

“But regardless of my sympathy for you, I cannot, will not, put another monster on this planet. Too many people, people that I cared about, have died by your filthy hands and I have to deal with that guilt for the rest of my life.”

“How dare you deny me this request. If it weren’t for you, I wouldn’t be on this Earth living my life all alone in the shadows, you owe me-”
“I owe you nothing!” He screamed. Even I was taken aback by this. He seemed almost as infuriated as I was. “ I owe you. Nothing,” he whispered. “You are the one that has murdered. I gave you life and you are the one taking lives away. I do not care that you have to hide, you should be hidden anyway. You shouldn’t be near anyone for you are not deserving of companionship. People may only run away because of your appearance but it’s just as well for you are an evil creature, inside and out. I will live the rest of my life knowing that I tainted the name Victor Frankenstein by creating such an immoral creature. I will not live with the guilt of creating another monster, nor will I live with the guilt of you blaming me for living

The times that I have been so-called “caught,” those were unintentional murders.

I’m not proud of what I’ve done, most certainly not. After the people were dead, I would look at what I had just done. Bodies brutally beaten, bones broken, attractive faces that were no longer recognizable. I felt complete shame. I would run away and hide again behind tree. For a moment, I no longer hated my creator. I hated myself. I would run my fists right against the trees and let out a howl. After my fit of anger, I’d slide down beside the tree, and begin to cry. A never-ending flow of tears running down my face. Who would’ve thought, that a beast like me would feel shame and melancholy?

After a few days, my gloom would pass and I would feel nothing but hatred towards him, Dr. Frankenstein. Then I would kill someone(s) to let out some anger, and then the whole cycle would start all over

    I remember this.” I thought out loud, gazing upon the scene in remorse. “I-I’d never seen my mother cry before that-” I muttered, feeling my voice begin to choke up. “Your mother only had when son left, imagine what it must feel like to have them be shipped off to war.” Death said firmly, his hands behind his back, but his harsh words seemed to ring with empathy and understanding.…

    There is nothing worse than feeling detested and abhorred by society, especially if this hatred is caused solely by one's physical appearance. In Frankenstein, Mary Shelley uses the Creature to show how people are inherently good, but compelled to become evil only when ostracized by their fellow man. Although the Creature is initially full of love and is surrounded by examples of human happiness, he finds himself excluded from this happiness, through no fault of his own. The creature turns to evil only after he is spurned by humanity. Two tragic events lead to his transformation: being rejected by his 'family' - the De Laceys, and being rejected by his creator - Victor Frankenstein.…

    When people read the book Frankenstein by Mary Shelly they sympathize with all of the characters, but they tend to sympathize more with the monster. I myself sympathized with the monster more despite his many evil deeds. It is possible that the reason for this sympathy towards the monster from us is because the monster reminds us of how we feel when we are lonely, abandoned, or angered by someone else and just the thought of those feelings being the only emotions we feel constantly for the rest of our existence is unbearable. Reading about this merciless and yet compassionate monster makes us think about the monster in us and how we would react in his situation. When I read this book it made me feel depressed and I felt everything the monster felt. “The fallen angel becomes the malignant devil. Yet even the enemy of God and man had friends and associates in his desolation; I am alone.” — Victor…

    It is human nature to desire a sense of acceptance. Through rejection or acceptance humans develop emotions as a result which then formulate their thoughts about themselves. When humans experience a situation of rejection, negative feelings are natural as a response. Those who have a family, close friend or professional help to interact with and to mentor them with these situations can cope with the rejection. Though not easy, social interaction with those who care does soften the blow on this feeling of unacceptance from others. On the other hand, if there is not support or advice to give when this happens these negative feelings may and can result to anger and vengeance. Frankenstein’s daemon is presented with this very feeling when attempting to form a relationship with the De Lacy family. He has no family of his own, he knows already “[He is] an unfortunate and deserted creature” (Shelley 3). The monster elaborates on these feelings “[He has] no friend or relation” (Shelley 3) and shows that he realizes he is alone and deserted. The Monster is alienated by the abandonment of his creator. Followed by this, the rejection from the cottagers due to his appearance is the straw that breaks the camel 's back. “I am an outcast in the world forever” (Shelley 93) were his thoughts if the cottagers rejected him, and they did. At this point he feels all connections to mankind severed. Rage set over the daemon and…

    What is most significant is the abandonment the monster feels throughout the story. He expresses it by telling Walton "...I, the miserable and the abandoned, am an abortion, to be spurned at, and kicked, and trampled on" (184). He claims he is the victim of his wrongdoing and affirms: "You, who call Frankenstein your friend, seem to have a knowledge of my crimes and his misfortunes. But in detail which he gave you of them, he could not sum up the hours and months of misery which I endured, wasting in impotent passions" (183). He then goes on to express his feelings of guilt and hideousness because after all, the beast is supersensitive. "But it is true that I am a wretch, 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; I have pursued him even to that irremediable ruin. There he lies, white and cold in death. You hate me; but your abhorrence cannot equal that with which I regard myself. I look on the hands which…

    People reject his scary, overgrown looks without actually realizing that there's an innocent heart lying inside, just wanting to be accepted like everyone else. The supposed monster automatically feels lonely and isolated, as when he says, "I, the miserable and the abandoned, am an abortion, to be spurned at, and kicked, and trampled on." From this quote, you can see the depression the monster feels, emotionally influenced by the people around him. This depression and sadness turns to anger, as he thinks about who truly caused this depression. Was it the people who saw him and turned away scared, or what it the one person who gave him the grotesque appearance in the first…

    In analyzing Mary Shelley's Frankenstein, the monster is a sympathetic character. That is the reader sympathizes with the monsters experiences in life. Abandoned by his creator, and misunderstood by society, the monster exists alone. His search for a companion is unfulfilled. Moreover, the monster attempts to forge a relationship with the De Lacey's quickly being rejected by the elderly man. Finally, through an act of selflessness the monster is injured trying to save a girl. Clearly, great misfortune befalls him throughout the text. He’s an empty soul thrown into a world that loathes his…

    In the story, Frankenstein, the monster wants someone to care about him and accept him in every way since he feels rejected towards the human. For instance, the monster tells Victor, “You must create a female for me whom I can live with in the interchange of those sympathies necessary for my being” (104). The monster appearance may be difficult to look at but he developes the same patterns as the human such as sense of smell, touch, sight, taste, and hearing. The monster looks just like the humans except he is a bit larger in size. He keeps telling himself that he looks different and ugly than the humans.…

    The desire for companionship grows so intensely within the non-human subspecies that the monster asks Victor Frankenstein for an outlandish favor: a female counterpart. Through a lover, the monster can display his inner love with a being that does not judge him. At the time when the monster acts for a love, he has yet to found any acceptance in the human society. Thus, a monster counterpart would provide the only outlet of affection for the monster. The monster’s wish for a partner exemplifies that the monster stereotype that literature and film have created are not as narrow as once thought. The desire for love can exist even in a non-human species, and love does not limit itself based on appearances or classifications. Victor Frankenstein, however, denies the monster a lover, believing that a race of monsters would spur from a second creation. The creature never indicates that he would terrorize the world if given a counterpart, and in fact would leave human society to spend him with his significant other (205). The monster’s hopes are benign, and Victor Frankenstein distorts and mystifies the monster’s intentions. Clearly, the monster in Frankenstein does not define itself through a series of checklists about “how to be a monster,” but rather breaks the boundaries of traditional monstrosities. This monster does not parade through the town trying to terrorize the people that it encounters; this…
