e learned spee!ch, reading, and writing. He also told Victor that he killed Victor’s brother. Victor has almost fully realized the consequences of his creation it was not the monster who had killed his brother, or the people who had killed the girl, but it was his own doing through his actions. At this point the monster is not a very likable character, the author has already made the monster ugly and a killer. The monster kills every one close to Victor, even his bride. It seems what started out in innocence is now very corrupt and evil.The likable characters in this book didn’t have any deformities, or flaws, they were made caring and good. Society expects anything that is beautiful to be good. In this novel the requirements for being likable is to have money, friendship, and beauty. The monster is already unlikable for the fact that he doesn’t have any of these attributes, and with the killing added to the lack of good attributes makes him that much more unlikable. I think that in today’s society that we are much more caring and sensitive to the needs of the crippled and deformed, but there are still hesitant feelings towards them by some people, but not to the extent of the monster.Society respects the handicapped and accepts them in today’s world. I’m sure the story would have been different if Victor had been the monster’s mentor from the very beginning....
