People might think that the monster was extremely different with his creator when they first looking at the story. Victor was intelligent and he had family who loved him, in contrast, the monster had horrible appearance that would scare people, furthermore, he was isolated and alienated by human. However, as the story developed, Frankenstein resembled to his creature gradually. Unable to tell the truth to his friends and families and feeling blameful for creating the monster, Frankenstein was pressed day and night. “When I reflected on his crimes and malice, my hatred and revenge burst all bounds of moderation. I would have made a pilgrimage to the highest peak of the Andes, could I when there have precipitated him to their base.”“Cursed, cursed creator! …with their shrieks and misery. ”These two quotes were stated by Victor and the monster; we can easily see their anger toward each other. They treated each other with hatred. The hatred in their mind is the first similarity I thought about when I compared these two.
Secondly, although in the last half of the story is filled with negative emotion because of the monster and its creator, the beautiful landscapes and gorgeous humans are not forgettable. We can easily detect the monster’s and Frankenstein’s love of splendid view.“I remained two days…my journey towards Geneva.”During Victor’s journey, he was always amazed even healed by the pleasant landscapes; and the monster was also attracted by natural scenes or pretty women.
These two should ignore their bias and aversion and try to communicate gently.
