Question: How do the actions of the monster reflect the initial responsibility that Victor may have had for his creation?
Thesis: Initially, it was Victor’s responsibility to teach his creation moral values, and how to compose himself in a functioning society. Had Victor not abandoned his creation, Frankenstein would have arguably led a life with less murderous acts, instances of emotional instability, and desire for revenge against his creator
Body Paragraph 1: - The monster's murder of Willaim, at the time, was one of instinctual action and confusion - Address the question of whether or not it was his fault - Victor's response to the act was one of regret, discuss how Victor should have made the initial action to teach his monster aout interaction and morals I had desired it with an ardour that far exceeded moderation; but now that I had finished, the beauty of the dream vanished, and breathless horror and disgust filled my heart. Unable to endure the asspect of the being iI had created, I rushed out of the room, and continued a long time traversing my bedchamber, unable to compose my mind to sleep" - The quote emphasizes Victor's inability to consider the monster's position as a "new-born" being, and spotlights his selfishness
Body Paragraph 2: - Discuss how Frankenstein is perceived by those that he encounters - Discuss how he interacts with the residents of the cottage andhow they percieve him - After the monster exposes himself to the people, discuss their reactions - Detail his retalliation and how Victor could have prevented this - Talk about how Victor percieved and interacted with the monster in the instances they met - It was wrong to treat the monster the way he had, for the monster was a creation of Victor's " "Devil," I exclaimed, "do you dare approach me? and do not you frea thte fierce vengance of my arm wreaked on your miserable head? Begone, vile insect! or rather, stay, that I may trampel you to dust! and, oh! that I could, with the extinction of your miserable existence, restore those victims whom you have so diabolically murdered!" - How can it be the monster's fault for the acts he commited
