Although the Monster was a Monster, if he got some care under Victor then he wouldn’t have killed anyone. Victor could’ve taught him about everything from emotions to education without any stress or hardships in a secure environment. It was wrong for the Monster to kill people but it was more wrong for Victor to leave the Monster alone in the first place. If he knew that he was potentially dangerous, why did Victor flee from the Monster? Didn’t him running away from his own fears bring chaos to his life? Victor could’ve taken responsibility for his failure of making the perfect creature, then at least look over the Monster under his care out of site from others. It makes me so frustrated because I think Victor’s very stupid and can’t handle any kind of pressure that’s not related to science. Even when I was reading the book, I thought ‘why isn’t Victor doing anything to make things right but just keeps running away and messing it up even more for everyone?’… It’s pathetic how he ran away from his fear that he created himself. He doesn’t deserve to be a parent, what if he did happily marry Elizabeth and had his own child that was deformed. What would he have done? Would that child be cast away just like the Monster or no? It is his duty to take care of his child no matter what and it is the same for the Monster, Victor gave life to him and should’ve raised him to be a good Monster. Victor’s bad parenting caused this entire massacre and I’m just glad that this is only a fictional story.
