When I was reading this book, as a game art student it immediately put me in mind of DR. Junkenstein and his monster which is from a video game: OVERWATCH.
We watch the novel as a protagonist perspective, and seem to be persuaded Frankenstein is a miserable role. However, he seems like a suitable candidate that people may dislike in the real life, selfish and irresponsible.
He knows he can’t protect Elizabeth, but he gets marry anyway. To base his happiness on not caring about the safety of others.
However, he is not a villain because he still has immoral, so he can’t forgive monster carried out an act of behavior against humanity.
I really enjoy those characters’ personality. Dr. Junkenstein is an excellent evil scientist, but Dr. Frankenstein just a complex normal human being with the gift of science talent from Mary Shelley.
And another character--the monster, always can artfully leave the regret to viewer. Maybe that’s the point Mary wants to communicate, for those people who you think are difficult to accept, the ending will be different if can pay more a bit tolerance and more a bit love. Maybe the monster and Frankenstein won’t cast vicariously as both victim and villain by the vicissitudes of fate.
