In the movie- and this shocked audiences, Frankenstein"s monster attacked and accidentally killed a child by tossing her into a lake in what looked like a park. Naturally, this stirred up the townspeople that a MONSTER was on the loose. Child abuse is a real monster topic and it is intriguing it was worked into the Colin Clive- James Whale Frankenstein film- the critics did not like the child murder sequence- perhaps he could have accidentally dunked her but she survived- or similar (Pink heart) surgery to soften the blows.

In the book, his first real victim was William, Victor's younger brother. He had wandered off in the woods, and he insulted the monster for his ugliness. The monster gets angry and strangles him.

Frankenstein can be seen as both a villain and a victim in Mary Shelley's novel. As the creator of the monster, he is the villain for abandoning and neglecting his creation, leading to the monster's violent acts. However, Frankenstein is also a victim of his own ambition and hubris, facing the consequences of his actions and experiencing deep remorse for his mistakes. Ultimately, the novel blurs the lines between villainy and victimhood, presenting Frankenstein as a complex character with both heroic and tragic qualities.

The only Frankenstein in the story is Dr. Victor von Frankestein. His creation is simply referred to as the monster. Let's examine both though.

The "monster" is certainly a hideous, montrous creation. It is death brought back to life. It is nearly mindless. But it is clearly a victim. The creature misunderstands everything, and is misunderstood by everyone. He had no choice in his creation, he is a slave to his thick wittedness and passions.

Victor on the other hand can easily be painted as a monster. He can just as easily be painted as a victim. He is the antithesis of his creation. The creature is stupid; victor is brilliant. The creature knows nothing but what he feels; Victor feels nothing but hubris until the creature takes everything away from him. They are yin and yang, not good and evil, just two sides of the same coin.

In the end, Victor becomes the victim of his creation, perhaps also of himself. Afterall, if you build a monster it will kill you.

In the novel it is hard to find a character that doesn't die a sad death. Everybody's the victim.

Why did the creature seize the small boy William Frankenstein?

Because when the creation saw William, William said that his father was M. Frankenstein. The creation said in response, "Frankenstein! You belong then to my enemy--to him towards whom I have sworn eternal revenge; you shall be my first victim." He then strangles him to death. He killed him solely because he was Victor's brother.

How Antonio is a good man?

Which Antonio do you refer to? There are five of them in Shakespeare's plays, not even counting Mark Antony, after whom all the others are named. Antonio in The Two Gentlemen of Verona is Proteus's father. He is neither a villain nor a victim. Antonio in The Tempest is Prospero's brother and is a villain. Antonio in The Merchant of Venice is the victim selected by Shylock to be the scapegoat for all the wrongs Christians have done to him. But he is also villainous; it is he that insists on Shylock's apostasy so as to destroy his soul as well as take away the use of his property, and it is also he that insists that Bassiano break his vow to his wife over the wedding ring. Antonio is Twelfth Night is Sebastian's friend and a victim in that he suffers arrest for Sebastian's sake. It would appear that Orsino's hatred of him is unjustified. Antonio in Much Ado About Nothing is Leonato's brother, a kindly old buffer who is neither victim or villain. And to round things out, Antony is a villain in Julius Caesar but a victim in Antony and Cleopatra. So, out of six Antonios, one is a victim, one is a villain, two are both and two are neither.
