Similarities Between Frankenstein and the MonsterĪlthough one might say that Frankenstein and the monster are very different, if one look at these characters very carefully, several similarities can be noted. However, the monster’s human nature is also shown at the end of the novel where he mourns over the death of Frankenstein. As promised he takes revenge from his creator by strangling his bride. When Frankenstein destroys the female creature, the monster vows to take revenge from him. Neither the author nor its creator gives it a name he is often referred to as “monster”, “creature”, “wretch”, and “demon” in this creature.Īlthough the monster initially escapes its creator and tries to take revenge for creating him by killing Frankenstein’s brother, he later returns and begs for a female companion.

The name Frankenstein, however, is also used to refer to the monster itself although it is sometimes considered erroneous.Ģ.
It tells the story of a young scientist named Victor Frankenstein who creates a monstrous but clever creature in a scientific experiment.
Truly, the deeper we get to know the creature Frankenstein created, the more we feel ourselves projected onto them, almost as if we are all still learning and growing as individuals all the same, while some only get a different reaction due to their own physical appearance, rather than what is in their hearts.
This pre-conception of the misconstrued maverick has almost everything to do with the subconscious attitude we still have over people who do not look exactly “normal” in a very subjective opinion. One of the most touching parts of the creature’s story, for me, is when they first encounters a painful bone-chilling cold, and when the sun began to shine down upon them, however “surprised by the novelty of such sensations… still dared to be happy”(186).īefore reading this book, the only idea I had of it was what the myth or legend was told, that Victor Frankenstein was a mad scientist who went rouge and started creating this big, and sub-human. The creature taught themselves everything through watching people live their daily lives, from simple to complex such as acceptance, tolerance, hatred, language, empathy, economic inequality, power dynamics, social standards, and even gender roles. This novel is not that of a horror or thriller, but a tale of one’s journey to self and environmental consciousness. In reality, when we hear the actual perspective of said monster, we see all the misconceptions our culture has strewn onto us. You take this novel at pure face value, humans began placing somewhere among the horror/thriller section, merely because it contains a “monster” who has a path of destruction in his wake almost anywhere he goes. In reality, the creature merely wanted to be understood, accepted, and loved. This has to do with the fact that this was an entirely new way to delve into the intersections of the human experience, bringing science and philosophy together, and how that contributes to the development of said characters as well as how one perseveres anything they find “other” to their “normal” as a barbaric way of thinking and feeling. In Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein, readers are told an emotional tale of self-discovery, one that arguably seems more human than the average coming-of-age story found ever so innovative.
