Victor as the Monster

Victor Frankenstein classifies his creation as a monster due to its appearance, however, he is originally gentle, and kind. His creator left him alone to figure how to survive. Due to his appearance people mistreat him and perceive him to be a monster just because he his big and ugly. He cares about the DeLacey family and brings them firewood in the night. He observes them and even learns their language. He shows compassion and love. Victor on the other hand does not. He hates the monster just because he is ugly, he runs away from it and wishes for it to die. The monster did nothing wrong, his brutal actions are a result of being abused and neglected by humans.
As time goes on the Victor’s physical appearance becomes more monster like. He is often described as a wretch who looks like death. He may not be as physically ugly as the monster but his character is. He refused to create a companion for the monster even though the monster promised to hide in South America with no human contact. Victor condemns the monster to a life of solitude; so the monster gets even. He kills Elizabeth so Victor too will know what its like to be companionless. His actions, although harsh, can be justified. If someone, i.e. his creator, had taught him right from wrong, the few instances of monstrous behavior that he exhibited would not have happened.
