Question

Why does the monster feel he has the right to seek revenge on frankenstein apex?

Answer 1

The monster was created flawed and then abandoned instantly when Frankenstein got creeped out when the monster started to move (Google "Uncanny Valley" for what caused Frankenstein's reaction, he was actually acting like a normal person likely would in that situation, but it was still horrible for the monster). The world was not a nice place for a creature who looked the way he did and had no knowledge yet that he could use to stay out of trouble and not get injured.

The monster's creation took a decent amount of time. Frankenstein had plenty of that same time to reflect on what he was doing and why and stop, but he never did. It wasn't like it took 10 minutes and 8 hours later he realized "Huh. I really am not prepared to bring a monster into the world, this is going to go terribly, and why did I have those last few beers?!" I mean, Frankenstein could have at least made the monster look more attractive, so that that people around him would be slightly more accepting. (That sounds somewhat mean, but I still have a point.)

2. The monster asked Frankenstein to create a bride for him, so that he would not be alone. (Since the monster was created from humans, he likely had a longing to be around other intelligent beings, and it was horrible for his mental health if he felt that longing but could never be around anyone without them screaming and running away.). Frankenstein created a woman for the monster, the same way he created the monster. Then, right before he brought the woman to life, he realized what he was about to do, and destroyed her. (I think the monster actually saw him do that. I think Frankenstein was upset that the monsters could possibly have children together, but that could have been easily fixed by just removing her uterus.) The monster saw his only chance at companionship being ripped away, and it understandably made him angry. So, then the monster decided basically that if Frankenstein wanted to stop him from having a family, he would stop Frankenstein from having a family as well. The monster then proceeded to hunt down and kill Frankenstein family.


Before you use my answers for anything, I should probably tell you that I haven't read the book recently, and I may have over thought certain things. The meanings and subtext I am somewhat sure the author was not intending to put in, but are true nevertheless, are in parenthesis.

Answer 2

Frankenstein doesn’t love or accept him, so he can’t know love.

Step-by-step explanation:

The creature is a product of Frankenstein's invention. He created it, but was immediately horrified by it. The creature is then tormented by its own loneliness and inability to know love. It blames Frankenstein in two different ways. First, Frankenstein is responsible for the creation, as the creature would have never existed if it was not for the scientist. Moreover, the creature blames Frankenstein for never loving him, because this has made it impossible for it to learn love. These two reasons encourage him to seek revenge.
