Victor Frankenstein, a man obsessed with scientific oddities since his youth, finds a way to reanimate the dead. Hoping to create “a new species [that] would bless me as creator” (33), thus leading to what he hopes to be, “the creation of a human being”; (33) however, his attempt only produces a living being. A being that Victor begins to despise and fear, despite Victor's initial claims that "darkness had no effect on [his] imagination" (31). Later in the novel, he describes his experience as a disaster when he "saw the creature's dull yellow eyes open" (Shelley 35). The creature's attempt to rejoin society is met with violent rejection; leading him in an attempt to humanize himself through knowledge and language. As the creature grows, intellectually speaking, he realizes that humans will never allow him to be a part of society and that Victor will never accept the being he created. Leading to the deterioration of the educated image that the creature has carefully created for itself. Due to society's reactions, the creature undergoes a paradigm shift as it realizes that due to its outward appearance, it will never be recognized by society as human, thus being denied human rights. man. The growth of the creature, which ultimately leads to its deterioration, could be depicted in four stages: The victor's view of its creation, the villagers' reaction to the creature, the creature at the cottage, and the creature's eventual deterioration by the murder. The initial exclusion that the creature is opposed to is presented in the opening scene; At first, Victor is impressed by his creation, even calling it beautiful. However, upon closer examination, middle of paper struck me, until, badly bruised by stones and many other types of missile weapons, I fled to the countryside. 73However, this is not the first encounter the creature has had with humans. Before that, while still in the forest, he came across a small cabin…[the structure of which] I examined with great curiosity. Finding the door open, I entered. An old man was sitting there, near a fire, over which he was preparing his breakfast. He turned around when he heard a noise; and perceiving me, he uttered a loud cry, and, leaving the hut, ran across the fields with a speed of which his weakened form seemed scarcely capable. 72This incident was one that the creature thought was an isolated incident and a reaction that "surprised me somewhat" (72).
