Frankenstein Reaction (bum bum bumm!)

Frankenstein is not the least bit what i expected. Amongst all of the stories I've heard about Frankenstein, this is not one of them. This story is not just about a monster that wreaked havoc city to city, but an explanation on why he is even considered a monster, and the life he lead up to that point. I had assumed that Victor would be ecstatic to become the first human known to have created another life, but I was misled. "I had gazed on him while unfinished; he was ugly then, but when those muscles and joints were rendered capable of motion, it became a thing such as even Dante could not have conceived." (Shelley 44) Victor abandoned and left him with no other choice but to fend for his life on his own; but the creation was like a newborn child just learning to walk, he didn't even know how to speak before Victor up and left him. 

The horror that this monster had brought into Victor's life caused a great deal of stress and guilt. These characteristics, when combined with grief, cause such an illness that it is hard to recover from. Victor knows it is his fault that a few people have lost their lives, but in a way Victor was selfish. The monster made it clear what he was going to do if Victor did not make him a bride, and for Victor to just throw his work away was a mistake and disrespectful. The monster is Victor's responsibility and he needs to start acting on it. I did not expect the creature to have developed feelings and emotions towards others, but this only makes me sympathize with him even more. I'm enjoying the story line a lot more then i expected and i cannot wait to see how it ends.
