In Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein, Victor Frankenstein and the monster that he

creates are very similar. For example, Victor creates the monster to be like
himself. Another similarity is that the anger of both Victor and the monster is
brought about by society. One more parallel between Victor and the monster
is that they both became recluses. These traits that Victor and the monster
possess show that they are very similar.

One way that Victor and the monster are alike is that Victor creates the
monster like himself. Victor does not plan to create the monster like himself,
but the monster becomes very much like Victor.

“God, in pity, made man beautiful and alluring, after his own image; but my
form is a filthy type of yours, more horrid even from the very resemblance”
(93).

The monster does not resemble Victor physically; instead, they share the
same personalities. For example, Victor and the monster are both loving
beings. Both of them want to help others and want what is best for others.
Victor and the monster try to help the people that surround them. Victor tries
to console his family at their losses, and the monster assists the people living
in the cottage by performing helpful tasks. However, Victor and the monster
do not reflect loving people. The evil that evolves in Victor’s heart is also
present in the monster.
The evil that is present in Victor and the monster is another example of similarity between the
characters. This evil in both characters is caused, although not directly with Victor, by society. The
monster tries to be accepted by society. He shows kindness toward society and he tries to help people.
However, he is immediately rejected by society because of his ugly physical appearance. The evil and
the anger present in the monster comes when the monster presents himself as a friend to a family that
he has secretly helped. Instead of accepting the monster as one of their own, the family immediately
sees the ugly form of the monster and rejects him.
