The story of Frankenstein talks about a man who defies God giving life to a death corpse. He makes himself a creator, he substitutes himself incautiously for God and creates a new life.
His experiment, which at the beginning seems only a fundamental discovery for the human kind, becomes a tragedy. Frankenstein isn’t up to God: differently from who created the world, he gives life to a corpse and abandons the creature in a world which isn’t ready to accept him.
It is wrong to considering this creature “monster”, because when the scientist makes him alive he isn’t a bad being, he has only an ugly aspect. Frankenstein is frightened when understands what done: he was so excited for the experiment that didn’t consider the consequences of his discovery. The real monster is the scientist who abhors his creature and abandons him.
The creature is like a child: he knows nothing, he isn’t able to articulate a speech, he needs father’s help. His father refuses him, like the rest of the world. The rejected would be only like others and be loved, while the first person who has to make him feel accepted goes away frightened.
The creature is thrown out by all human being, nobody accepts him, except a blind man (but his family will throw out “the monster”). The rejected becomes bad, above all because hasn’t a father who takes care of him. So the creature suffers and his terrible sorrow makes him a cruel killer who murders innocents.
He can’t be absolved, but has to be underline that the real responsible for the murderers is Frankenstein. It is the creator who decides to give life to a corpse and abandons him, he could not have done such a thing! Frankenstein is free to do what he wants, also to create a new being, his creature has no choice: he doesn’t decide to live by himself.
The creature is subordinated to the creator, and this second is the only reason of the first’s life. Superficially Frankenstein creates a being who proves sensation and feelings.
The creature wants only someone who loves him, he wouldn’t be rejected by Frankenstein, so he follows his father. Despite the fact that he hates Frankenstein because he abandoned him, when the creator dyes he proves a terrible sorrow: he remains alone on the earth.
