FRANKENSTEIN (PLEASE HELP 40 POINTS) VOL II

Is Victor Frankenstein right when he describes the creature as a fundamentally malevolent character? Or does the creature’s tale establish that he is a fundamentally benevolent character? In other words, are the creature’s acts of violence understandable and justified? Why or why not?(WRITE IN CER PARAGRAPH, CLAIM , EVIDENCE, REASONING) (ADD QUOTE)

*before I start I'm also reading Frankenstein for class rn but I don't have my book on me so I can't sight evidence but ill do my best*

The creature's actions are understandable for many reasons. For example, when the monster explains in his tale that he realizes taking food from the cottagers was wrong he decides to stop so he can be helpful to the family and he also cuts firewood for them too. This shows he understands the emotions of others and can tell when he has to be kind. Later on in the tale, he explains how Felix and the others are more content with how there life is and they are happier, after seeing this the monster feels more like an outcast and threatens Victor to make a wife. The monster explains how he killed William after he knew that the boy was related to Victor, it wasn't right that the monster killed William but he was just trying to make Victor feel the same pain that he did. From all these we can see that the monster can learn from mistakes but sometimes he decides not t since he feels like he always has to get revenge.
