The creature is able to develop characteristics that a creature would not typically have, showing the free nature that is apparent throughout the book because you wouldn’t think a creature would show compassion.

5. “Yet mine shall not be the submission of abject slavery
“Yet mine shall not be the submission of abject slavery. I will revenge my injuries: if I cannot inspire love, I will cause fear; and chiefly towards you my arch-enemy, because my creator, do I swear inextinguishable hatred. Have a care: I will work at your destruction, nor finish until I desolate your heart, so that you shall curse the hour of your birth”

On the mountains near Geneva, Victor encounters his monster. The monster forces Victor to make a promise in which Victor has to make a female monster, or else the monster will kill everyone that is close to Victor.

8. Victor Frankenstein
Frankenstein's thirst for knowledge beings at the University of Ingolstadt where his chemistry professor, M. Waldman, fuels his desire to conquer the laws on nature. He becomes fascinated with the “secret of life,” discovers it, and fathers a hideous monster. Throughout the novel, ironically Victor, not the creature, is associated as the monster figure. Victor had such an obsession to create a being and when he succeeded, he abandoned it leaving it to fend for itself. Hence Victor in essence is responsible for the deaths of Henry, Justine, William and Elizabeth.

9. The creature
The creature is seen as a monster to society, portrayed as a malicious and devilish figure. However, in reality, the monster is compassionate and benevolent and is later tainted by society's ills. Abandoned by his creator and confused, he tries to integrate himself into society, only to be shunned. Society is horrified by the creature unnatural appearance, therefore blinding them to see the creatures true kind and gentle nature.

10. Allusion
“I eagerly seized the prize, and returned with it to my hovel. Fortunately the books were written in the language, the elements of which I had acquired at the cottage; they consisted of Paradise Lost, a volume of Plutarch’s Lives, and the Sorrows of Werter. The possession of these treasures gave me extreme delight; I now continually studied and exercised my mind upon these histories, whilst my friends were employed in their ordinary occupations” (Shelley 90-91).

11. Imagery
“It was already one in the morning; the rain pattered dismally against the panes, and my candle was nearly blunt out, when, by the glimmer of the half-extinguished light, I saw the dull yellow eye of the creature open; it breathed hard, and a convulsive motion agitated its limbs” (Shelley 35).

12. Metaphor "The world was to me a secret which I desired” (18).
Victor is displayed as a God like figure, just as God is able to create life; Victor desires the knowledge and power to create life as God creates it, hence defying the laws of nature.
