From what I have gathered from the story so far the creature tells a story one filled with strife, lonleyness, and confusion. Fron this the creature comes to understand that all people are inately good, but life, that insanity gave the creature something else blistering rage that is as deep as it is endless. This rage stems from two places, the first one is the rejection from Victor, and the secound is from what it experienced durring its travels. Victor Frankenstien the author of all of the creatures pain. When the creature was created it reached out for its creator, and was rejected. Alone it was scared, leading to the secound reason for its rage, the constant rejection from everyone that it met only feuled its onslaught of anger. So it blamed Victor because he created him, and rejected him, he never showed it any love, or even attempted to teach it the difference between love, and hate. Not to mention the constant hatered it was recciving from other people. So to try, and find peace the creature decided to make the person who caused it the most pain suffer. And that person is Victor. He starts by killing his brother William, and then framing one of his freinds who intern reccived the death penalty, and was killed before she could be proven innocent. The creature gives me the sense that all it wants to be happy is vengence on Victor, but to Victor the creature is the outward manifestation of his subconcious so at some point this will have to end.

To me at least, The Creature is not only the manifestation of Victor, but the embodiement of all of man. He represents the repressed form of man, what we all try to hide and repress because of society’s natural operational standards. I think the point Shelley made with the Creature was that he’s not only Victors manifestation, but all of our manifestations, Shelley included.
