In the novel Frankenstein by Mary Shelley, Victor Frankenstein and the monster are linked in a complex relationship. Frankenstein's monster is subject to his creator, Victor, who is the only man capable of creating another of his kind. On the other hand, Frankenstein is passive towards his creation, because physically he is stronger than him and has the ability to murder his entire circle of family and friends, and it does not take him much effort to do it. Their relationship is not marked by a “superhero” pattern. After recounting the tragedy of being rejected by Felix's family, the creature begs Frankenstein to have pity on him. The monster asks Frankenstein for a favor: "He continued: 'You must create for me a woman with whom I can live in the exchange of the sympathies necessary for my being.' This only you can do” (130). In this case, the demon puts itself in a position of submission. Through these words, the creature admits Victor's intelligence and singular abilities. Victor is the only one capable of creating a companion for him. The monster believes that the companion is absolutely necessary to his being, which is why the monster demands a role of submission and trust in the grace that the victor will express. It is also very widespread while at the same time the creature is subject to its creator, that of Victor. destiny is also in the hands of his creature. The creature warns Victor of what might happen if Victors decides not to comply with the monster's demands: “Be careful; I will work for your destruction, and I will not finish until I desolate your heart, so that you curse the hour of your birth” (131). The creature realizes that it has power and is currently... middle of paper... completely anti-hero either. They have both committed evil against each other, and both characters have suffered so much that it is difficult not to express sympathy for them. Towards the end, Victor comes to the conclusion that the real enemy is ambition: “Seek happiness in tranquility and avoid ambition, even if it is only apparently innocent, that of distinguishing yourself in science and the discoveries. (200). Ambition drives Frankenstein to create the monster, and without it, the tragic ending could have been completely avoided. If Victor had continued his scientific research like the rest of his colleagues, no member of his family would have committed murder. As Frankenstein rests on his pearl of death, he realizes that innocent intention can quickly turn into disaster. Works Cited Shelley, Mary. Frankenstein. 1818. New York: Bantam Books, 1991.
