Frankenstein
Victor Frankenstein as a Child Abuser In today's court I am going to convict Victor Frankenstein in many murders. He created a being that destroyed the lives of innocent people. Frankenstein never considered how such a creature with a horrifying appearance would be able to exist with humans. He didn't take responsibility for his creature; instead Frankenstein abandoned, neglected, and abused his creature. He never realized that the lack of parental love and guidance would lead the creature to a murderous path. Moreover, Frankenstein kept in secret his creature's existence and chose not to reveal it to his family and friends. By doing so, he jeopardized the lives of his loved ones and put them in danger. With my evidence and supports, I am going to prove that Victor Frankenstein, as a parent, is responsible for the creature's actions causing the deaths of his friends and family. By violating the laws of nature, Victor Frankenstein tried to discover "the cause of generation and life," and "became . . .capable of bestowing animation upon lifeless matter" (Shelley 68). Days and nights Victor was occupied with his experiment. He forgot about his family and could not see anything beyond his experiment. Victor said that he
Horrified by his creature, Victor abandoned him. This decision led to the destruction of his family. When he saved a little girl from drowning, he was shot (118). I find the creature to be very miserable an abandoned. However, Victor chose none of these options. How shall I ever repay you" (59)? Victor's kindness was that he let the creature kill his friend Henry, by simply not warning him. However, Henry saved Victor's life by nursing him for several months, in return Victor replied: "Dearest Crerval how kind, how very good you are to me. At this point we see how Victor rejected his responsibilities for his child. Because of the monster's intense desire for companionship accompanied by his unalterable state of loneliness, I feel sorry for the monster. He never told anything about his creation to Henry. He could have save the lives of his loved ones but he did not even try. He did not choose to b!e physically deformed.
