Victor Frankenstein Monster Analysis

Victor creates a monster, but when he finishes creating him, he gets scared and abandons the monster. Leaving the monster with no one to care for him so he always was lonely and had an empty feeling inside him. However though he had some qualities that he was just like a human being. For example some of his human qualities is he was very understanding with the cottagers “i had been accustomed during the night to steal a part of their store for my own consumption but when i found out i inflicted pain i stopped”(shelley 47) Another human quality is he was curious just like normal humans ‘My thoughts now became more active and i longed to discover the motives and feelings of these lovely creatures” (shelley 48) one of the things he has where he
is not human like is he gets mad and starts killing victor’s loved ones in that case his first victim is victor’s brother “frankenstein you belong then to my enemy to him towards whom I have sworn eternal revenge you shall be my first victim” (shelley 62) What the creature wants most in life is to be accepted and have a companion. “ you must create a female for me with whom i can live in the interchange of those sympathies necessary for my being” (shelley 63) The goal for him to be accepted or have a companion is unattainable for him because he is hideous and victor doesn’t want to create another creature for fear of the violence they might cause. “your evil passions will be renewed and you will then have a companion to aid you in the task of destruction” (shelley 64) The creature has the potential for both good and evil he was very understanding with the cottagers but when he didn't get what he wanted he went violent. He can be a friend when he is listened to but a fiend when things don’t go his way.
