Frankenstein's Creature Became a Monster of His Own Will
I have to get something off of my chest about the Creature: he **was** a monster.
It irks me when I hear people say "The Creature wasn't the monster; it was Frankenstein." I feel like those that say that don't remember the story well.
After the Creature was rejected by the family in the cottage that he helped and secretly cared for, he gave into his despair and decided to "force" people to love him, the first of which was Victor's son. He decided that a child would be pliable enough. He didn't know that the child was his Creator's son at first but once he did, he didn't hesitate to kill him and strangled him to death.
And then, as most people know, he asked Victor to make a companion for him, in the same fashion as he had been made. Seeing as he was struggling with fitting in with society and finding his own identity, it was selfish of him to not consider that she might have similar misgivings. Even though he promised Victor that he would leave to live in the wild after his Companion had been created, what if she didn't want to live with him? He didn't consider the possible feelings of Her, just as Victor never considered his own.
The Creature wasn't a monster because of his appearance; he made himself into one because of his actions.
