Mary Shelley's novel: Who's fault is it?
It's all Victor's fault! He abandoned the "unsightly", born-good creature.
What do you think?

It's not ALL Victor's fault, and it's not ALL the creature's fault. How about the society at the time. It was a very cruel society, and most of Europe was involved in some sort of violent unrest around that time. How about hanging that girl for a crime they had no real evidence she committed? How about the way that the people treated the creature?
Also, one has to consider that, at the time that the book was written, the study of phrenology was taken very seriously. Since the monster was created out of executed criminals, it might be assumed that the creature had a violent and criminal disposition at the outset due, as could be determined through measurements of his skull.

Frankenstein aimed to create the "suited guy" utilising physique factors from ineffective adult males. As you recognize, the test did no longer prove as estimated. The monster develop into repulsive, and subsequently kept away from and misunderstood by every physique else. that's been a whilst in view that i've got examine Frankenstein, yet i think of he did no longer rather like the monster. It did no longer prove the way he needed, and he develop into disgusted by what he created. He theory he had made a monster. i think of while the monster died, Frankenstein regretted the function he had performed interior the monster's existence. The monster known him as a father parent, and he develop right into a damaging one.

I'm sure most people will say that it's Victor Frankenstein's fault that his creation became a murdering monster, but that implies the creation himself exercised no free will of his own. Our character determines our actions, and by the monster's not having any to model himself after with Victor abandoning him, he reverted to instinct, attacking when threatened and seeing his vengeance on Victor as virtue. It's free will.

I don't think it was Victor's fault. At first the creature was born good and had a good heart. It was the rejection and ridicule that he got from those around him, people that were scared of him, and wanted to harm him. This made him distrustful and hate them back.

Thats what happens when science goes unchecked.
Victor was shallow and selfabsorbed because he was more concerned about the form his creature took than its function.
The creature had no control over its creation and very little control over its emotions since its brain was defective.
It was reacting on a child like level but caused so much damage because of its size and strength.

Sentience demands socialization, it's as simple as that. Any human (or pseudohuman) will become a monster without a niche in society, and our good doctor refused to even try to provide one.
