Indeed, as a male scientist who creates a male creature, Victor eliminates the biological necessity for females at all. The men work outside the home, as public servants (Alphonse Frankenstein), as scientists (Victor), as merchants (Henry Clerval and his father), and as explorers (Walton).

When, how, and why did Victor Frankenstein fail his creature in the novel Frankenstein? Victor fails his creature in Frankenstein by not taking responsibility for his creation and rejecting it many times. For instance, Victor is running away is his initial rejection when he first create the creature.

Perhaps the most obvious way we can read the novel as a critique of masculinity is the very obvious way in which Shelley develops the male characters more than she does the female. She portrays women as weak, beautiful, subservient beings who live only for the men in their lives.

The monster attempts to fit into human society but is shunned, which leads him to seek revenge against Frankenstein….

The Monster displays considerable emotion—namely anger—when he demands that Frankenstein make him a wife. Although there’s something appropriately monstrous about the way he makes his demands—with threats and menace—the motivation behind the Monster’s request is recognizably human all the same.

Based on support from Frankenstein and additional academic research, it is clear that the monster does indeed deserve sympathy from the readers rather than condemnation. To begin with, the monster had been abandoned by his creator, Victor Frankenstein, right after he had been created.

We feel empathy for the monster because it makes us realise that he has feelings like everyone else. These actions make us feel pity for him because we know he is innocent and all he wants is a friend. The fifth way Shelley tries to make us feel sorry for the monster is through peoples’ reaction to him.

The unnatural creature conceived in Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein, has enormous amounts of empathy, whereas his creator, Victor Frankenstein, has very little and therefore has lost touch with his humanity. True empathy requires an individual to merge identities and act upon both their own and the others’ emotions.

Forgiveness is to grant pardon for or remission of. In Mary Shelley’s book Frankenstein, the monster’s lack of forgiveness of his creator, society, and self, leads to his tragic suicide. The monster did not forgive his creator, Victor, for any of the mistakes he made.
