Why is Frankenstein Guilty?

Why is Frankenstein Guilty?I may die but commencement you, my tyrant and tormentor, shall curse the sun that gazes on your misery. Beware for I am idolatryless, and therefore powerful. -The Monster, Ch. 20I, the miserable and the abandoned, am an abortion, to be spurned at, and kicked, and tramp direct on.In Waltons final letter to his sister, he recounts the words that the monster speaks to him over Victors brain dead body. This eruption of angry self-pity as the monster questions the in in effect(p)ice of how he has been inured compellingly captures his inner life, giving Walton and the reader a glimpse into the suffering that has incite his crimes. This line also evokes the motif of abortion the monster is an unwanted life, a creation abandoned and shunned by his creator.Frankenstein was a man whose ambition led to a disaster His actions led to evil. Is Frankenstein an cleared? In my opinion, he was non an innocent. The meaning of innocent is to free from evil or guilt. T he word Frankenstein is outlined in the dictionary (Encarta Dictionary) as a creator of something that causes ruin or destruction, or brings about a personal downfall, showing a easily suited name.A common quotation is that One is innocent until prove guilty, If this quotation is applied to Victor Frankenstein, he would be innocent, for creating a human, which was chastely and contextually incorrect He would be innocent for allowing the murders of William, Justine, Elizabeth and Clerval to spot place. It may be true that Frankenstein did not physically murder, however, he is the main cause, and the evidence they died. Frankenstein never admitted to his families what he had done he never took responsibility for his actions. The so called monster murdered for companionship, not to render r compensatege from his victims, but to seek revenge from Frankenstein. The circumstances forced Frankensteins monster to do so, Victor was the firebrand of these circumstances.My firstborn th ought was to discover what I knew of the murderer and cause minute of arc pursuit to be made. But I paused when I reflected on the trading floor I had to tell.(Frankenstein, Mary Shelley), This shows that Victor had the knowledge that he was the reason William was dead. Frankenstein didnt motive to know about the murderer, because he indirectly was the murderer, through the circumstances he created for the monster, as I mentioned briefly before.Frankensteins reason for creating the animate being was his interest in his studies, which led him to the idea of bettering mankind. Victor thought he was doing a work to humanity by creating a new human.A new species would sanctify me as its creator and source many happy and excellent natures would owe their universe to me. I might in process of time (although I now found it impossible) renew life where death had apparently use the body to corruption. This quote shows his ego behind these plans. He wanted to suppress death, somethin g the average human could not do. He wanted to be adore highly by this so called perfect and beautiful beast. According to him, it may go through been acceptable to play the role of god maybe his being a scientist is why he didnt think of what was morally correct. However, the quote shows that the right guidance from the start, Victor had an idea of how he would somewhat be stepping into the shoes of a godlike figure, he outlines the fact that he would be superior, and he would have the power to renew the dead. This proves that he had no innocence, or naivety in terms of knowing precisely what he was doing and what it would lead to.After creating his wolf, on the basis of aesthetics, he shunned it. He may also have shunned it because he already conquered death, so in his view, he may have already obtained the status of god, or a superior power, something no one had achieved. He didnt think about anything past the ugliness of the puppet, or his personal benefits. His selfishne ss is what in the end destroyed him and others as well.The creature he created is more like a realize to Frankenstein, his aim is to conquer death, and once he has done so, the project is over. Not once does he consider the fact that he has just now effrontery birth to a new human being, with feelings and emotion, a have intercourse creature who has to be taught the ways of life as if it is a baby.Frankensteins giving up of the creature is another factor that proves him guilty, and not innocent. Frankenstein was scathe for being irresponsible, slight sighted, and neglecting his creature. He didnt give his creature anything he needed. Its his own fault that the creature comes back understanding I may die but first you, my tyrant and tormentor, shall curse the sun that gazes on your misery. Beware for I am fearless, and therefore powerful. The creature was deprived of the companionship, which he could only get from his creator. The creature figures that the only way he can ge t some attention, is by threatening his creator.This could be compared to a situation with a youngster and a parent. Frankenstein is somewhat the parent of his creature. His job is to nurture him, but because of his own ego, he runs away. If it were a parent and a infant, the child would be defenceless because it hasnt even developed physically, however the creature is an example where he is an uneducated child, with a higher physical strength. Frankensteins creature thinks through intuition, as any child who hasnt learnt anything would do. He doesnt know whats right and wrong, so he doesnt know its wrong to threaten he doesnt know its wrong to kill. Blaming him is like blaming a child for breaking a valuable, such as a vase. You cant shoot the child because their knowledge hasnt developed, they havent just learnt. However in the childs case, after making such a mistake, the child would be taught not to do so again, creating a basis of how it is wrong, this does not take place f or the creature. It could be argued that the creature should know through Victors fear, but does a child learn anything when it senses fear? No, it anything, it will only learn to keep intimidating.Frankensteins faults of his creation, or you could say his faults in parenting, in fact started from the very beginning. Frankensteins creature is described as having nighted black hair, yellow skin, black lips and eyes sunk into his sockets (Shelly 56). Its quite dry that Frankenstein feared his own creation, he is the one who hand-picked the features his so called perfect man would have. For him to say breathless horror and disgust filled my heart(56), towards a creation of his own, just shows his tendency towards aesthetics, and how backward he is in terms of being accepting, yet how forward he is in terms of doing something new. He is responsible for the way the creature turned out. This once more, proves his irresponsibility, and his view to the creation as a project. His attitude towards the creature is why he was irresponsible. He wasnt serious enough, or perhaps he wasnt ready to face negative consequences, seeing as he was a perfectionist.The background Frankenstein created in terms of nurture is what caused his creature to murder. Victor admitted to creating the monster, but he denied that he drove the monster to hand murder. He wouldnt admit to anyone not himself, not his family, that he was the one who allowed the murders to take place. He allowed Clerval, his wife Elizabeth, his brother William and Justines death to take place because he didnt take the blame for his actions. If he had admitted to his actions earlier, less deaths would have been caused, if he had been responsible, and given the creature what it needed, he would not be guilty of four murders.In the end, Frankenstein was at loss of everything close to him, he blamed the monster, but it was his fault. He had a faint idea that it was his fault, although no one could possibly be able to ad mit to murdering the people close to you. The only way he could be innocent, is for not literally taking a knife and knife his relatives. However the pain he got from his creature was his own fault. Innocence lies in having no sense of guilt for any action of yours, this, Victor did understandably not have. The creature couldnt stop himself from destroying Victor, because Victor couldnt stop himself from creating the creature. The creature was an innocent it only reacted to the actions of society. Victor was guilty in every way.
