The Role Of The Real Monster In Frankenstein

The creature shows that he has been labelled as a “monster” and rejected by everyone because of his image. The fact that he is called a “monster” is ironic because he who calls one a monster is a monster himself, which means that the real monster is mankind. There is also Frankenstein pushing the realms of science above its limits by creating a forbidden life. He sacrifices the life he posses for the sake of creating something that was never done before, and due to so much focus on his research, Frankenstein looses contact with his family. This suggests that he has obsessed over his work, almost like a madman, again referring to gothic influences. Frankenstein also makes it very clear that his intention is to play God.
