Frankenstein’s World Flipped Upside Down

Victor Frankenstein appears to be a young boy who genuinely loves science. Out of fame, the creature was constructed. Instead of bringing good fortune and reputation to Frankenstein, the monster turns his creator into an irrational man. The creature, being left deserted and alone, attacked the closest thing to Victor: his family. As a result, Frankenstein went wild. In order to protect his loved ones, Frankenstein was consumed with revenge. He was overcome with the priority to destroy his creation, banishing the evil form his life. Frankenstein refrained from keeping in close contact with his family, in fear that the monster would murder the little family Victor had left. Frankenstein spent years chasing after his creation, not bowing down to the challenge until the creature was demolished once and for all. Victor states, “When I reflected on his crimes and malice, my hatred and revenge burst all bounds of moderation (Shelley 79).” The monster’s horrendous actions transformed Frankenstein from a young, innocent boy, into a senseless man full of fear and anger.
