In Frankenstein, Victor's monster suffers much loneliness and pain at the hands of every human he encounters, as he tries to be human like them. First, he is abandoned by his creator, the one person who was supposed to accept him, help him, and guide him through the confusing world he found himself in. Afterwards, he is shunned wherever he goes, often attacked and injured. However, during these trials, the creature remains confident that it will eventually be accepted and harbors virtuous and moral thoughts. However, when the creature suffers another blow, as even a family he thought was very noble and honorable abandons him, his hopes are dashed. The monster then takes revenge on Victor, killing many of his loved ones, and the humans who hurt him. While exacting his revenge, the monster often feels guilty for his actions and tries to be better, but then becomes angry and provoked into making more mistakes, while at the same time feeling self-pity. Ultimately, after Victor's death, the monster returns to mourn the death of his creator, a death directly caused by him, and speaks of his misery and shame. During his soliloquy, the monster shows that he has become a human being because he suffers from an internal conflict, in his case, between guilt and the need for sympathy and pity, as all human beings do. While talking to Walton, the monster shows for the first time that he is very sorry and remorseful for his actions. He begins without making any attempt to exonerate himself from guilt. The creature, in fact, instead underlines his guilt by saying: «No crime, no malice, no malignity, no misery, can be found comparable to mine» (189). Here he highlights his misdeeds using a multitude of words to describe them, each with a subtly different meaning... in the middle of the paper... in time, such as reading, speaking and finding refuge. More importantly, however, he learns something that will affect his entire short life: what human beings are really like. Frankenstein learns that humans can be kind and moral, but more often they are cruel, brutal, unjust, and unsympathetic. He learns that he will never be accepted, and learning this drives him to perform some pretty evil human acts. Even though he does these bad things, he still feels remorse, a longing for companionship, and the drive to do good things and be a good person. This internal conflict is present in all human beings, as we struggle to do the right thing and avoid temptation and violence. This struggle is what causes the creature to be truly human, encompassing all aspects of humanity, including both good and evil. Works Cited Shelley, Mary. Frankenstein.
