From their first meeting after creation, the creature develops intense anger towards the man who gave it life, and this feeling is mutual. "All men hate the miserable; how then must I be hated, I who am miserable beyond all living beings! Yet you, my creator, you hate and despise me, your creature, to whom you are linked by bonds that can only be dissolved by the annihilation of one of us” (95). The creature cannot understand the rejection he faces, just as Victor cannot understand how this horrible being holds himself. always before him. It is his misguided passion that leads the creature to make many of the threats he makes to Frankenstein. As he promises to “avenge [his] wounds if he cannot inspire love; he will be frightening, and it is mainly towards Victor that he swears unquenchable hatred” because he is his creator.
