Frankenstein, by Mary Shelley, is a nail biting novel that distinguishes a true line between moral and immoral principles of life. However, what seems to make this line fade?? Can "the creature" (aka Joe), really have an innocent, compelling, and grateful heart? Or is he a sanguine monster that is out for revenge!? The decision is up for debate!
“My heart beat quick; this was the hour and moment of trial, which would decide my hopes or realize my fears…and with renewed determination I approached the door of their cottage” (Shelley, 121). This quote truly depicts the creature’s inner struggle of loneliness. He needs a companion that shall spread an essence of normality in such an abnormal life. “If you consent, neither you nor any other human being shall ever see us again; I will go to the vast wilds of South America” (135). Here the creature is stating to Victor that he will cause no harm or give no threat to humankind if Victor concurs with his request. The creature and his “bride” will be left isolated in a place where they can be happy together without the harassment and pity from others.
Victor should make the creature a “companion”. It will facilitate the every-day-life of the creation, and Victor will be able to move on from his struggles to start new in his social life and career without stress. This is the best possible solution for Victor, for the creature, and for humankind. None will be harmed, and none will hold regrets!
