My Fatherly Duties

Victor Frankstein created a being that he left to fend for himself. After discovering that his creation was not what he wanted it to be he ran off and left him when he reached out for him. “He might have spoken, but I did not hear: one hand was stretched out, seemingly to detain me, but I escaped, and rushed down the stairs.” He didn’t attempt to look for his creation and was glad he was nowhere to be found. When the monster decided to found him he threatens him and wants to kill him. The monster tries to get Victor to see his point of view he wants to know why he detests and spun him. He feels that Victor should have a responsibility to him because he was his creator. He saw Victor as his father because he was his creator. “I am thy creature, and I will be even mild and docile to my natural lord and king, if thou wilt also perform thy part, the which thou owest me.” Victor should have had a responsibility to his creature. What he did was like given birth to a child and leaving it. We all have a responsibility to our children and even thought Victor didn’t see it that way he did have a responsibility to his creature. He didn’t take that responsibility at all. He taught about making the creature a companion but in the end he didn’t. I know it’s a story but it is heart breaking to see Victor not take responsibility for his creation. Yes I know the monster kills in the story but in his passion you can see his reasoning.
