Monster and Creature.

Victor Frankenstein had a thirst for knowledge and an ambition to create life.  He acts on these feelings and creates a monstrous creature. Victor is sickened at the site of his “monster,” and rejects him, immediately:"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"(43).  This rejection plays a major role in the monster's hatred for humans, especially for “Frankenstein,” who is confused by the conflict that is inside Victor Frankenstein. After Victor’s rejection, the “monster” meets a family that brings out his delicate side, but when they too reject him, he is devastated and destroys everything in sight: "I was like a wild beast that had broken the toils, destroying the objects that obstructed me "(121).  Victor's feelings of guilt increase; intensifying his need for revenge, as Justine is accused of a murder committed by “Frankenstein.” Victor makes it his mission to destroy his creation.  “Frankenstein” feels abandoned by his maker yet he still wants to be loved by Victor.  He threatens that he will be present on Victor’s wedding night.  Victor selfishly fears for his own life before he finds his wife, Elizabeth, murdered. "She was there, lifeless and inanimate, thrown across the bed, her head hanging down and her pale and distorted features half covered by her hair"(179pg).
