At first, The Monster is very kind and sympathetic. He has a good heart, as shown when he collected firewood for the family on the brink of poverty. Like every other human creation, he was not born a murderer. All the Monster wanted was to be accepted and loved by Victor Frankenstein and the other humans but instead he was judged by his appearance and considered to be dangerous. The Monster says, “like Adam, I was created apparently united by no link to any other being in existence…many times I considered Satan as the fitter emblem of my condition; for often, like him, when I viewed the bliss of my protectors, the bitter gall of envy rose within me” (page 105). This line is an important part of the novel because the Monster lets it be known how like Adam he was created into this world completely abandoned and like Satan he is angry with those people who have found contentment and satisfaction in their lives. The rejection and unwelcome feeling he is faced with, is the main reason the Monster becomes a killer. Watching another family show love towards each other made the Monster realize how alienated he truly was. He did not know how to deal with his pain and emotions so he murders as
However, these possessions and goals did not make him happy as he thought they would. Furthermore, deception was a key factor which influenced him to become a villain.

Morpheus is caught by the machines and Neo goes back to save him and during the rescue mission Neo says, “ There is no spoon” (Matrix). He is figuring out that everything in the Matrix is an illusion and being able to bend the spoon he is able to bend the world thus being able to change the system.

This archetype shows the monster for who he really is: a monster. This quote shows the villain archetype because, being the monster that he is, he kills every person Victor Frankenstein ever loved. Being the evil villain, his goal is to destroy Victor’s journey, which he successfully does.
But the monster seems strongly anchored into his determination to give the relationship with mankind another chance. He admires the qualities of humans, but yet he wanders how is it possible that there are so many contradictory attributes gathered in a single human being: "Was man, indeed, at once so powerful, so virtuous, and magnificent, and yet so vicious and base ?" (Shelley 147). Two more unpleasant events shutter his belief in ever establishing a connection with mankind. When he attempts to make contact with the people who have unwillingly constituted his adopting family, he is rejected on basis of physical appearance.
Big Guy share his self-destructive behaviour as an open invitation for the narrator’s guidance and support. She is able to offer this to him through simply being present in his life, she does not judge or ridicule his behaviour but is just there experiencing it with him. Such as when she plays into his attempt to crack his teeth by drinking ice water and coffee, she is also chewing on ice in an act of support. This is her first acknowledgement of Big Guy’s feelings towards his mother’s suicide. As well, when she talks about Big Guy’s fathers approach to the suicide, “his father had added, “And what’s more, the Cubs lost” (153), the inclination to support Big Guy strengthens, as she relates it to how he addresses situations, “matters large and small” (153), from then on. This reinforces the lack of support and significance his father is employing on his mother’s suicide. These examples show the narrators devotion and understanding of Big Guy as a whole. The road to recovery begins as she allows him to lovingly razor X’s onto her mosquito bites without question. This acknowledges the truest form of trust and consents Big Guy to let go and the two to connect, “We take the length of the couch, squirming like maggots” (164). This then signifies their re-birth, “If it’s
...drive take over him and his life. Victor's motivation was for his own pride and power. We realize that Victor is actually the monster himself. Victor breaks boundaries on life, violates morality, manipulates human nature, and he changes history.
The monster, enraged by the fact that Victor destroyed his female companion, kills Henry and Elizabeth. These deaths causes Victor to fall deeply into despair; his hatred for the monster and his deep grief grows until it completely controls his personality. Victor’s id took hold of his decisions in the form of revenge. Victor states that, “revenge kept me alive; I dared not die and leave my adversary in being.”(171). His id made the decision that Victor should hunt down the monster and kill him at all costs. Without thinking rationally or about the dangers he rushed after the monster into a land of ice and snow. As he chased after the monster he didn’t think rationally or use his superego and ego. His id had overpowered his two other psychic zones and this caused his personality to be unhealthy and unbalanced.Watson was with Victor on his deathbed and he wrote, “His voice became fainter as he spoke; and at length, exhausted by his efforts he sunk into silence...he pressed my hand feebly, and his eyes closed for ever.”(182). Victor unhealthy psychic zones and the stress he put on his body during his chase lead to his
The Monster attempted to coexist with humanity, dealing with violence and abuse, only to be rejected and alone, much like how Satan is rejected by God. He is hoping that the wicked nature of the humans was not common between them all, until he meets the family which sways his opinions about the race. This fruit of hope soon turns rotten when he decides to befriend them only to be rejected again saying “from that moment on I declared everlasting war against the species” (Shelly 124) after their reaction. It was at this moment where he lost his innocence, seeing the truth that all humans are violent, only to make himself more lonely, which is seen in Paradise Lost from Satans rejection from God after they were defeated. Satan is a fallen angel,
After Victor destroys his work on the female monster meant to ease the monster's solitude, the monster is overcome with suffering and sadness. These feelings affected his state of mind and caused him to do wrong things. He did not deserve to see his one and only mate be destroyed.
He is unfamiliar and unwanted with no one to guide him through. The monster came into the world and right away rejected by his creator, this implanted that he is only a disappointment. The monster commits many crimes, for the rejection of people, because there was no reason for people to reject him other than his appearance. He was only accepted, by a man that couldn't even see; this shows how humans are shallow beings. The monster wants revenge, and mostly on Victor, for he isolated him, he will isolate Victor as well. And he is very successful as he murder Victors loved
People often assume that revenge will make them feel better. This important theme is shown throughout Mary Shelley’s novel Frankenstein. The monster in this novel portrays this evil character because of the actions he took and because of revenge toward his creator, Victor Frankenstein. Revenge controlled the monster’s life and caused him to kill many of the people Victor loved. Revenge often motivates people to take actions toward their offender because they think that is will help console them.
The creature takes the souls of the ones Victor loves the most. Victors main purpose in life is to protect his loved ones and family, once they had been taken, all optimism is lost. His soul purpose now is to destroy the one being who took it all away from him. Loving nature and all his surroundings, Victor Frankenstein, is a young, eager man earlier on in his life. Eager for knowledge and understanding difficult topics. Near the ending of the book, Victor even states, “if you had known me as I once was, you would not recognize me in this state of degration”(229).Victor wants to bring back the life of a human, and so he does. The creature, however is far from what he expected. Victor believes the monster is an evil, wretched creature. Slowly ones Victor loves dearly, die before him. All of these horrifying deaths were because of Victor, done by his own two hands. And so he says, “I murdered [them]. William, Justine, and Henry—they all died by my hands”(201). Victor knows if he hadn't created such a monster, none of this would be happening. His life would be filled with joy, he would appreciate nature and the things that surround him. With all his loved ones gone, he begins to feel lonely. Victor said he would die trying before letting the monster win. “[I] prayed for death. But revenge kept me alive; I dared not die and leave my adversary in being”(219). Victor wanted to die, but didn't
exemplifies his lust for knowledge which leads to his creation of the monster, his personal
