"I, the miserable and the abandoned, am an abortion, to be spurned at, and kicked, and trampled on.
Mary Shelley's creature has been exploited by pop-culture. Along the road to exploitation, false assumptions. According to her literary description, the creature neither had green skin, screws in the sides of his neck, nor waddled with his arms forward. While his remarkable stature and brilliant strength physically mirror those of a monster, the creation is simply an involuntary murderer who is punished by an overwhelming sense of guilt and solitude. True to this description is also his creator, Victor Frankenstein, who made the creature in his image.
After the death of his creator, Victor, the creation reflects back on his life in the dialogue transcribed at the top of this page. The creature excuses his murderous behavior for his unjust treatment He has self-pity as the monster questions the compellingly captures his inner life, giving Walton and the reader a glimpse into the suffering that has motivated his crimes. This line also evokes the motif of abortion: the monster is an unwanted life, a creation abandoned and shunned by his creator. Indeed, throughout Frankenstein, the creature is "spurned at, and kicked, and trampled on.".
Before Victor leaves for the university at he us an innocent youth fascinated by the prospects of science. In Geneva, Victor's interest turns obsessive as he ignors his social life and becomes a disillusioned, guilt-ridden man determined to destroy the fruits of his arrogant scientific endeavor. Perhaps as a result of his playing G-d in the creation of his creature, Victor is scarily doomed by a lack of humanness. He cuts himself off from the world and eventually commits himself entirely to an animalistic obsession with revenging himself upon the monster. This is a monsteresque personality.
Monsters are ruthless. .
There are obvious similarities between Victor and his creation; Both have been solated, and both start out with good intentions.
