Who is the actual monster in Frankenstein?
I can tell you it's not Frankenstein... as most of the world believes. No, Dr. Frankenstein was the creator of the monster, but as it turns out he isn't a monster at all. Just a lost soul looking for his place in the world, as we all are.
How is Frankenstein not the monster?
This answer is from Wikipedia. It's a very good answer & reason why Frankenstein's monster was never really named : Frankenstein's monster (or Frankenstein's creature) is a fictional character that first appeared in Mary Shelley's novel, Frankenstein, or The Modern Prometheus. In the novel, the creature has no name—a symbol of his parentlessness and lack of human sense of self and identity. He does call himself, when speaking to his creator, Victor Frankenstein, the "Adam of your labours". He is also variously referred to as a "creature," "fiend," "the dæmon," "wretch," "zombie," "devil," "being," and "ogre" in the novel.[1] The monster's namelessness became part of the stage tradition as Mary Shelley's story was adapted into serious and comic plays in London, Paris, and France during the decades after the novel's first appearance. Mary Shelley herself attended a performance of Presumption, the first successful stage adaptation of her novel. "The play bill amused me extremely, for in the list of dramatic personae came, _______ by Mr T. Cooke,” she wrote her friend Leigh Hunt. “This nameless mode of naming the unnameable is rather good.”[2] Into this vacuum, it is understandable that the name of the creator—Frankenstein—would soon be used to name the creation. That mistake was made within the first decade after the novel was published, but it became cast in concrete after the story was popularized in the famous 1930s Universal film series starring Boris Karloff. The film was based largely on a play by Peggy Webling, performed in London in 1927.[3] Curiously, Webling's Frankenstein actually does give his creature his name. The Universal film reverted to the empty cypher, however: the film's credits list the character Karloff plays as a series of question marks. Nevertheless, the creature soon enough became best known in the popular imagination as "Frankenstein".
How does victor Frankenstein feel about his creation?
In the book, Victor made his monster to be beautiful... and then it came alive. After running from it and falling asleep, he wakes to find the monster reaching for him, and he believes the monster is trying to attack him. from then on, he loathes it with all his being. he feels hate, fear, and a sense of loss, because he made this creation and left it. It destroyed everything he loves, his servant, his brother, and finally, his wife! It justifies this action by saying that all he ever knew was hate. "how dare you sport thus with life?" Victor now hates the monster, all he can think is kill... kill... He is consumed with his hatred, and this leads to his death.
