“Frankenstein” Evidence
Sorry its late. I did not see the post for this blog until tonight.
Victor attempts to play god and creature artificial life. A feat that has been said to be impossible is actually done by Victor. His creature is abandoned and left to survive on its own and thrust upon the world with no knowledge. The creature manages to survive and learn about humans on its own. Then the creature wants to hurt Victor for hurting him. By abandoning the creature, the creature wants to take revenge and make Victor feel as isolated and alone as he did.
The creature just is looking for Victor to approve of him and not think that he is an abomination. The creature goes through various ways to reach out to Victor after he was abandoned. The end result however was the creature killing Victor’s family because no matter what the creature did Victor would never approve.
Victor was not the only person to think that the creature was an abomination and should be destroyed. Most of the human society that the creature should be destroyed. The only reason they believed so was because of the way the creature looked. The blind old man could not see the creature and therefore believed he was a good-hearted friend. The creature acted just like a human but because he did not look exactly like one he was not accepted which made him want to hurt Victor even more.
Everything that the monster learned made him hate Victor even more because of the way he was treated especially after he felt companionship with the old man. Its almost like the monster hates Victor for creating him in the first place knowing that he wasn’t going to be accepted by society. This is why Victor could not tell anyone about the creature (before the creature killed Justine). His practices about creating the monster were looked down upon before he even started. Victor’s father didn’t even approve of higher learning in general. The rest of the science community was under the false knowledge that creating life was impossible so it wasn’t even attempted.
