Introduction:

             The early 19th century was not a good time to be a female writer particularly if one was audacious enough to be a female novelist contemporary believes held that no one would be willing to read the work of a woman the fantastic success of Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley's Frankenstein served to thoroughly disprove this theory. Frankenstein established really as a woman of letters when such thing was believed to be a contradiction in terms. Frankenstein is a part of the Gothic Movement in Literature a form that was only just becoming popular in England at the time of its Publication the Gothic Mode was a reaction against the humanistic nationalistic literature of the age of reason one might say it was ushered in by the death of kids the English author with whom romanticism is perhaps most closely associated Frankenstein might be seen as a compromise between the Gothic approach and the romantic one it address is serious philosophical subjects in a fantastic manner. Through it confronts recognizable human problems it can hardly be said to be take place in a recognizable natural world some critics have suggested that this tension between Gothic and romantic literary modes equals the philosophical tension that existed between herself and her husband the romantic poet P.B.Shelly. 

     Character of Monster in Frankenstein:

              The Monster is Victor Frankenstein creation assembled from old body parts and strange Chemicals animated by a mysterious spark he enters life eight feet tall and enormously strong but with the mind of a newborn abundant by his creator and Confused he tries to integrate himself into society only to be shunned universally looking in the mirror he realizes his physical grotesqueness an aspect of his personal that blind society to his initially gentle kind nature seeking revenge on his creator he kills victors younger brother after Victor destroys his work on the female Monster  is the monster solitude The Monster mothers victors best friend and then his new wife while Victor feels unmitigated hated for his creation The Monster that he is not a purely Evil being the Monsters eloquent  narration of events as provided by Victor reveals his remarkable sensitivity and benevolence a cyst a group of poor farmers and also saves a girl from drowning but because of his outward appearance he is rewarded only with beating and disgust torn between vengefulness and compassion. The Monster and up lonely and terminated by remorse even the death of his creator turn would be Destroyer offers only bittersweet relief because Victor has caused him so much suffering and sadness because Victor is the only person with whom he has had any sort of relationship.

            Many people who have never read Frankenstein knows Victor Frankenstein creature as one of the most famous monster in literary history adaptations of the novel have contributed to this Minister ministry petition by portraying the monster as a horrifying character who provokes fear however part of What makes Mary Shelley's novel such an impressive accomplishment is her ability to portray The Monster as multidimensional and complex The Monster is responsible for many violent actions throughout the novel he is also legitimate leave frightening and grotesque you because of his enormous size and composition from parts taken from corpses. At the same time the monster and counters persistent rejection and loneliness he struggles to find a sense of family and community and is rejected by everyone he comes in contact with the rejection and alienation he experiences explain his violent behavior even if they did not justify it so that he can be considered as a sympathetic figure in the novel.

              Readers are first introduced to the monster from Frankenstein perspective The Monster is portrayed as grotesque you and disgusting with "watery Eyes his shriveled complexion and straight black lips" by this kind of description readers will understand why Victor Frankenstein recoil in horror. When the monster Encounters Felix Safie land Agatha all three characters are immediately terrified even though The Monster is simply talking peacefully with Mr De Lacey. These characters are not entirely wrong in being fearful The Monster size and Supernatural stands make him easily capable of harming others as he says when describing his reaction to Felix striking him "I could have torn him from limb". Over the course of the novel The Monster kills first little William Henry Clerval and finally Elizabeth. The models are particularly seniors because all three characters are positioned as extremely sweet and kind and both William and Elizabeth  relatively defenseless.

                       However when the monster tell his own story The Reader sees him from a new perspective from the first day of his life he has been alone with no one to help him or provide him with basic necessities like food and shelter during the Monsters early days in forest he shows sensitivity and an appreciation of for beauty and the nature when he notices the songs of birds and he leaves a compassionate and humble Life by living of of knots and where is rather than hunting for meat. Moreover The Monster is deeply drowned to the loving family dynamic he observed in the De Lacey household. He tries to model his behavior to reflect their kindness and consideration for example once he realizes the family is struggling with having enough food" I abstained from taking their food and satisfied myself with berries nuts and roots". Not only does he seem capable of kindness The Monster is intellectually curious eager to learn language and enthusiastic and appreciate you reader. Spider signals that the monster possesses humanity and the possibility of goodness he is rejected by everyone he reached out to whenever The Monster and counters a human being the person faints or runs away in terror. He can barely convince Frankenstein his own creator to listen to him Frankenstein also betrays The Monster by breaking his promise to create a mat for him the monster comes to realize that no one will ever look past his exterior to see who he is underneath as a result he uses violence to make Victor Frankenstein share the pain he is feeling by killing those whom Frankenstein loves the most The Monster tries to show him what is like to be completely alone in the world why this crimes are inexcusable the connection to the Monsters wasted potential makes him much more sympathetic.

Conclusion:

            When we see the monster from Victor's perspective we immediately come to an conclusion that The Monster is antagonist or we can say villain but if we deeply study the the character of Monster we come to know that when he was born or created he was completely innocent but because of his deform look he was continuously rejected by his creator and society also wherever he go he was beaten up or disgusted by people he just wanted to live a simple life he wanted to be loved he wanted to be accepted by his master or we can say creator but just because of his deformed look he was brutally beaten up and rejected by society or we can say all the people. The complete rejection of his master and Society made him a monster and because of grief stricken he killed many innocent people here a question emerges who is the Real monster ?the creator ?the creation ?or the society?
