    Comparing Victor And The Monster In Mary Shelley's Frankenstein

    The text finally uses the interaction between Victor and the Monster to display the similarities of their misfortunes, but then completely contrasts the two characters, leading readers to create a larger conclusion about the text. At the end of the Monster’s life story he demands a companion emphasizing Victor’s role in his misfortunes: “Instead of threatening, I am contest to reason with you. I am malicious because I am miserable. Am I not shunned and hated by all mankind? You, my creator, would tear me to pieces, and triumph… and would not call it murder” (104). The texts ironically portrays the Monster as the responsible figure attempting to change his future contrasting him to the human who refuses to participate in a self-determined change of fate. Due to the fact that the Monster is dependent on a human creator, no decision he makes can ultimately change the fate of his misfortune. Victor on the other hand not only has the choice of the Monster’s happiness in his hands, but also his own fate. By displaying the Monsters inability to change his destiny, the text emphasizes the…

Victor thought that the monster would kill him so he gets away from his wife. He then realizes the creature meant that he would kill his wife but he is too late and she has already been killed.

    After months of traveling in the dark out of sight, he was down by the stream getting water on his way to Geneva. That's when he noticed that there was a girl who slipped into the water and was struggling to swim, and he said ”I rushed from my hiding-place; and, with extreme labour from the force of the current, saved her, and dragged her to shore” (Shelley). Once he rescued her, he tried his hardest to bring her back to consciousness. The man saw him awkwardly running at him with the lifeless girl in his arms. He feared that the creature was going to do something harmful to the girl, so he shot the creature in his shoulder with his gun. The creature not only suffered physical abuse but also mental abuse. Eventually the creature wanted to have a companion. He asked Victor if this would be possible, after some discussion Victor agreed to the idea to produce another creature just like the one he already made. Midway through the construction of this new creature, a thought came into Victor's mind.

With the thought of this Victor decided to destroy what progress he had made towards the new creature.
