Victor's Responsibility In Frankenstein

In Frankenstein, the role of the monster and human are subtly revered with Victor considered more monstrous than the creature he created. This is because first, Victor is portrayed monstrous than the creature because he abandons his creature instead of educating and friendly introducing him to the world, which is itself a monstrous act of irresponsibility. Secondly, Victor ought to know that the creature will likely harm others, but due to his selfishness he places his family and friends at great risk. Some might say that Victor is not monstrous and disagree with the fact that he only wants creature to be killed, because he agreed to the creature that he will make the female form of the creature to fulfill the creature’s need and for his family’s
After Victor abandons the creature, creature was left vulnerable causing mental and physical pain. While he was helpless, he traveled to the town for help, however, when he got to the town, he was an unwelcomed visitor, “I entered; but I had hardly placed my foot within the door, before the children shrieked, and one of the women fainted. The whole village was roused; some fled, some attacked me, until, grievously bruised by stones and many other kinds of missile weapons” (Frankenstein, p.83). The creature was unwelcome because not only by his appearance, but no one was there beside the creature to justify that although the creature’s appearance isn’t pleasant, creature does no harm. If Victor had the took the responsibility, he could have justified and defended creature but due to his irresponsibility, the creature had to be subjected to humiliation every time he encounters
Creature decides to take revenge upon his creator, Victor, for being irresponsible in being his creator and abandoning him helplessly. The creature soon kills Frankenstein’s little brother, William Frankenstein, and put William’s necklace in Justine’s pocket secretly to make her to be the victim who killed William. The trial takes place for Justine and while the witness spoke, Victor doesn’t stand up to defend her position because he knew that the creature killed William and because the creature was created by him, he will be accused of killing his brother, “I could not sustain the horror of my situation; and when I perceived that the popular voice, and the countenances of the judges, had already condemned my unhappy victim, I rushed out of the court in agony” (Frankenstein p.64). His action of not defending for Justine even he knew that Justine is innocent and running out of the court room just because he will feel terrible if he stayed in the court room portrays Frankenstein’s selfishness and cowardliness. He didn’t stand up for Justine because if he did, he will be accused of the murder and be executed and he didn’t want to stay at the court room because he feels bad that he cannot defend her. He performed this action for his own benefit, not being executed and people not finding out about the creature. Although Frankenstein
