Role of Parents

Victor Frankenstein has created a terrifying monster. When he saw his monster raised, he thought he was big, ugly, and scary.
As I see it, the creator is afraid of his own monster. Frankenstein's relationship with the monster is filled with fear, anxiety and hatred.

Frankenstein know that as the monster’s creator he has a responsibility to keep the monster from hurting people. He knows that if someone is murdered it can possibly be because of the monster.
When Victor Frankenstein’s little brother is murdered, he immediately blames his monster. The creator is terrified by his own creations.
After creating a huge, dangerous monster, Frankenstein gets the feeling that it is his job to keep the monster away from anyone so nobody will get hurt.
The monster runs off right after coming to life, and Mr. Victor Frankenstein has a monster on the loose.

In this case, Frankenstein’s monster is almost his child. He created him and gave him life.
In my opinion, I must be very hard to love and care for a full-grown, horrifying killer. This is almost like the monster is Frankenstein’s “child” and the creator himself is responsible for loving and taking care of his “child”.

  1. This is a very good point; Frankenstein is definitely fearful of his own creation. His relationship with it is extremely stressful for him, causing him relentless suffering. When the monster murders his brother and an innocent is condemned to death, he struggles with the knowledge of his mistakes alone. This intense mix of fear and hate consumes him, even as he continuously strives to escape it. This running is what led to his burdens; running blindly, at full speed towards a dream; running away from a disgusting new reality; running away from the truth of his actions. He is impulsive and obsessive; this on top of his fear of facing reality is a dangerously destructive combination.
