This is more for understanding than anything else... The roles appear to be missmatched: Instead of God beholding his creation and seeing him lonely, creating Eve, Victor abhors his creation and is forced to make the monster a companion. Victor takes no pride in his creation, God takes much pride. Adam and Eve were cast out of the Garden because of their mistakes; The monster begins life as a recluse because everyone casts him out.

I think you have done an excellent job in answering your own question. I would add just a few more things. When God created man, he was an original creation. Victor must construction his "creation" out of body parts that have been discarded. God stays with Adam, even after he sins. Victor wants only revenge against his monster for killing his brother. Finally, Victor's monster seems to be good and decent from the beginning. In his first test with the DeLacey's, he has nothing but love for them and helps them survive by getting firewood and learning from them. However, Adam fails his first real test, eats of the forbidden fruit and then blames the woman God created. Adam is in need of redemption, which God provides. Victor simply wants to destroy his creation and, in the end, ends up destroying himself. Posted by ms-mcgregor on Dec 2, 2008. |
