This document analyzes who is the real monster in Mary Shelley's Frankenstein: Victor Frankenstein, the creature, or society. It discusses Victor's overambitious scientific experiment in creating life, the creature's ugly appearance and acts of revenge after being rejected by society. While Victor created the creature and abandoned him, the creature itself did not ask to be born and sought human compassion. Ultimately, the document concludes that it is difficult to blame only one party, as fault lies with Victor for creating and abandoning his creation, the creature for its violent acts, and society for rejecting the creature based on its appearance.
