” When I thought of him, I gnashed my teeth, my eyes became inflamed, and I ardently wished to extinguish that life which I had so thoughtlessly made.” A quote from Frankenstein a book wrote by Mary Shelley in 1818. Victor, the name of the character who said the quote and the cause for everything that goes wrong in the novel. Victor shuts out the rest of the world as he works on finding the secret to life. Even though he had good intensions in mind hes still the person to blame for what happens because he created, abandoned, and never stood up for the monster.

Therefore, once he created the monster it was his responsibility to raise it. Leaving the monster on his own, caused for him to learn many different ways of survival which is why I dont blame him for the things that happen. Even when the monster had good intensions because of his ugliness something bad happens. For example, the monster saves a drowning woman from the water and instead of getting an award he gets shot.
Knowing the innocents of Justine and the guiltiness of himself Victor never stands up to admit creating the monster thats committing the crimes. “While l
