Victor's creation is described, in the book Frankenstein, in many ways, including the demon, the wretch, and even the devil. These are all inappropriate terms when all of the creature's actions are taken in perspective. Frankenstein's creature is a caring and compassionate being who is forced to live his life barbarically through the prejudices of his creator, Victor. The term that best represents this being is, as Victor originally put it, a "new species", and due to the negligence of Victor and others around him who could not ignore the crude conception of bodily features , this "new species" was forced to find its place in the world solely through revenge, primarily directed against Victor. As Victor prepared to create a new life, he clearly expected greatness in his creation. His hope was that “a new species would bless me as creator and source; many happy and excellent natures owe their existence to me” (32). Even as he looked at his creation before breathing in the spark of life, he saw a benevolent and happy creature who could contribute to the development of human society. He knew very well what his creation looked like, but he still felt that it would become a new accepted species that could call him their father. He was the creator of a whole new group of creatures. He did not create the being that later became the monster when he constructed the creature from various elements. The creature he created was exactly what he wanted: a creature with a happy and excellent nature, and one that could "bless him as creator and source." Even after being rejected by Victor after coming to life, the creature still clung to his "happiness". and an excellent nature” (32). By giving the spark of life to the creature, Victor immediately...... middle of paper ...... only belonging to this "new species". He began by seeking compassion and love, and when this was denied him, even by his own creator, he devoted himself, with his entire species, to the barbaric life of a murderer and criminal . This new species was very impressionable and was forced to take on the role assigned to it by creator Victor, which was that of a demon and a monster. It is only because of Victor's idea of ​​the creature that any of these terms have any relevance to the creature. Victor transformed this loving and caring creature into a monster and a beast through his contempt and rejection of the life of this new species. Works Cited Frankenstein; or, the modern Prometheus.
