Frankenstein is a monster because he rejects the creature that he made himself,
he also chooses to judge by appearance, and he refuses to take public responsibility for the crimes his creation caused.

Victor Frankestein becomes angry at the monster even though he created it. Furthermore, he try to pretend to be God, breaking the laws of nature in creating the monster and he was irresponsible with his creation. He rejected it because of it's hideousness and when it returned to him having educated itself he still scorned it and treated it as garbage, as if it was the monster's fault it was created.

Victor Frankenstein is the main character in Mary Shelley's 1818 novel Frankenstein; or, The Modern Prometheus. He is an Italian-Swiss scientist who, after studying chemical processes and the decay of living beings, gains an insight into the creation of life and gives life to his own creature, often referred to as Frankenstein's monster, or often colloquially referred to as simply "Frankenstein".
