Frankenstein (iqra tariq)

As I’m reading the book “Frankenstein”, as time and time again Victor indecisive decisions, seems to not only cause misery to himself, but to his family and friends. Victor doesn’t seem to take anyone else opinion into consideration when making his decisions, he seems to live his life based on what he feels is right and his assumptions, which has and continues to cause tragedy to his family and friends. “The creature” just wants to someone to love him, wants a family of his own. “I admired virtue and good feelings and loved the gentle manners and amiable qualities of my cottagers, but I was shut out from intercourse with them, except through means which I obtained by stealth, when I was unseen and unknown, and which rather increased than satisfied the desire I had of becoming one among my fellows.” He himself seemed to put effort to fit in, yet he was continually rejected and outcasted, even by the person who has created him. He like a lost child, who doesn’t know what emotions are, yet he feels this hatred and loneliness inside him, like a lost child who just wants their parent to be proud of him. Victor Frankenstein has shown throughout the book a person who continually  runs from his problems, yet wants the sympathy of the readers, that he is the one who is going through most of the pain. Furthermore, he seems to label and judge people if it’s either his creation or women. He calls “the creature” a monster, yet throughout the book, it seems the monster is not the creature , but Victor himself. The creature seems to put the effort to try, yet throughout the book Victor has caused many deaths and broken promises, which makes you question who is actually the real monster in the book.
