In Frankenstein the creature is portrayed as the monster, but I believe that Victor is the true monster in this case. The Creature wasn’t the most friendliest (redundant) and kindest looking,(parallelism) but he isn’t as monstrous as his creator. The readers overlook what Ii consider an important point about the creature, his physical appearance did not give the creature a chance to show his true self. The creature on the inside was kind and just wanted to learn but he was being shut out just because of the way he looked. Victor is distraught with his creation and abandons him which makes the creature become very unwanted, lonely, and felt like an outcast. He was never taught how to behave and love because his creator wasn’t one to show compassion.
When Victor goes to college and his interest and obsession in science and nature grows, his curiosity to find the secret of immortality causes him to want to create a creature and bring it to life.“I prepared myself for a multitude of reverses; my operations might be incessantly baffled, and at last my work be imperfect, yet when I considered the improvement which every day takes place in science and mechanics, I was encouraged to hope my present attempts would at least lay the foundations of future success.” (Shelley 43). Dropped quotation. It isn’t explained.
The prejudice against the monster is so great that it even convinces the monster himself that he is a monster and is not worthy of life.The only real monster is the prejudice instilled in these characters who do bad things. Victor Frankenstein created the monster with good intentions. In fact, he “had desired it with an ardour that far exceeded moderation… ” (Shelley 43). Yet this quote is correct, although not explained. When the monster awoke, Victor feared his own creation.

Victor prejudges his creation because he fears what it is capable of and runs away. The words that Victor uses to describe the monster, whom he does not even know, are terrible! Victor calls the monster “wretch” and calls his mouth “jaws” as if the monster is some type of animal. Some may argue that if they were in that situation they would react the same, but I believe that Victor should have prepared for what was coming considering the fact he was bringing something back to life. (technically it was never alive before) The monster even tries to speak to Victor, but Victor does not listen to what the monster has to say because Victor becomes scared of the monster based only on the creature’s physical appearance .
This is a clear example of prejudice. The monster reaches out an arm and, unknowing of what the monster will even do, Victor assumes that the monster is trying to “detain” him, but he “escaped and rushed downstairs”. Victor’s behaviour is not commendable however, his actions are a result of his prejudice alone. Not only does Victor prejudge the monster only based on the way he looks, everybody the monster meets prejudges him and is scared of him just because of the way he looks. This shows how clear it is that the creature was judged on the way it looked rather than its personality and behavior, the creature was called a monster for his features meanwhile the real monster was his creator who was judging him and not giving him a chance.
