Victor Frankenstein’s monster, a hideous being that was most often described as a terrifying wretch by those who became scarred by his figure. When Frankenstein gave life to this creature, he was unaware of what he had unleashed to the world. The monster would go on a murderous rampage and kill one of Frankenstein’s brothers, William. However, who is to blame for this homicide? The creator or the created? If Frankenstein never fashioned such a demented concept, no one would have be hurt in the first place.
