On the other hand, the monster has not been accepted among society. He questions why he lives, why he appears repugnant, and why his creator does not show the care and love to him like the cottagers show each other. The monster was self-motivated; he taught himself to articulate sounds and has observed the sentiments sensed by human beings. Although the monster understood murdering the young boy was iniquitous, he was not taught the full-blown consequences of his actions. The monster killed the nephew to receive Frankenstein’s attention as well as make Frankenstein suffer for not being there to nurture him. The monster is like a child at the stage of grasping the concept of right and wrong but not fully understanding the situation. When the monster asked Frankenstein to “create the same species, and have the same defects,” (p. 104) he wanted someone he could relate with. In Frankenstein’s family, each member has the support from another while the monster does not. Because the monster is not given, a chance throughout society because of his appearance allows him to earn sympathy.

The monster does not deserve sympathy from humans because he proves to the reader that he understands right from wrong. When “Felix darted forward, and with supernatural force tore the monster from Felix’s father…Felix dashed the monster to the ground and struck him violently with a stick. The monster could have torn him limb from limb but he refrained.” (p. 97) He (the monster) understood the damage he could have done and he understood that fighting back would not get him anywhere. Later on in the novel, when the monster met up with Frankenstein he says “you are my creator, but I am your master; - obey me.” When the monster killed Frankenstein’s nephew, he did it out of spite, for revenge. After speculating the various emotions the cottagers experienced, he knew what caused in pain and knew what pain he intended to inflict upon Frankenstein.

In this section the monster appears to be the protagonist. While viewing an emotional moment that is expressed through the brother and sister of the cottage, the monster possesses sympathy for them. “The young man and his companion often went apart, and appeared to weep. I saw no cause for their unhappiness; but I was deeply affected by it.”(pg. 77) This indicates that the monster cares for others’ well beings as well as his. However, Frankenstein dismissed the monster for selfish reasons, to protect his security. Nevertheless, at this point in time, Frankenstein did not realize the power the monster had to hurt him and others that he cared about.

I believe Frankenstein is the actual protagonist in this novel. Frankenstein’s ambition, quoted on page 32, was “to bestow animation upon lifeless matter…renew life where death had apparently devoted the body to corruption.” Victor did not plot to design a murderer; his creation decided that it was his duty to avenge against his creator because of his appearance- for example: during a particular situation, when the monster entered a man’s hut, the man “shrieked loudly and quitting the hut, ran across the fields with a speed of which his debilitated form hardly appeared capable.” Due to society’s unfamiliarity with the monster’s exterior, the monster could not find a companion whom he could relate with therefore he became miserable and lonely which lead to blaming Frankenstein for his solitude. Nevertheless, strangling innocent people in order to hurt Victor due to society’s intolerance of him was not Victor’s responsibilities but was the responsibility of the community and their narrow-mindedness.
