Fear and dinner 2

Frankenstein

If I cannot inspire love, I will cause fear! „
~ The Frankenstein Monster's most well-known quote.
" I have love in me the likes in which you can scarcely imagine, and rage the likes of which you would not believe. If I cannot satisfy the one, I will indulge the other. „
~ The Monster announcing his goal.
Frankenstein's Monster is the main antagonist of the novel Frankenstein by the late Mary Shelley and its many adaptations. He was created in 1816 and made his debut on January 1, 1818. Although he had surprisingly immense powers of speech in the original novel, most adaptations limit, otherwise completely omit, his speaking capabilities. Although at first glance appearing generally intimidating, for the most part the creature was initially a very gentle and sweet soul before turning to villainy out of anger for how the world treats him.

Biography
Novel

The Monster made his first appearance in the 1818 novel Frankenstein, or The Modern Prometheus. He is described as having wrinkled skin which barely covered his blood vessels, black lips, black hair, and yellow eyes. He was created on a rainy November night in the late 18th century Ingolstadt, Germany, by the medical student Victor Frankenstein. Frankenstein is so horrified by his creation that he flees the house, leaving the Monster alone and unaware of who or what he is. The Monster takes a jacket to clothe himself and eventually wanders off into the wild. He spends a lengthy period of time learning to survive. Any humans he comes across are so frightened by his appearance that they run from him, just as Frankenstein had done.

The Monster eventually takes up abode in a small hovel that abuts a cottage. He listens to the inhabitants, the De Lacey family, through a hole in the wall and learns to speak and read from their example. His first reading materials are several books that he finds in a castoff suitcase, including the works of John Milton, Plutarch, and Johann Wilhelm Goethe. The Monster also reads a series of papers that he has found in his jacket, which turns out to be Frankenstein's notes.

Through these, he discovers his origins and learns that Frankenstein lives in Geneva, Switzerland. The Monster grows to love the De Laceys during his time as their "neighbor" and decides to reveal himself to the blind father while his grown children are out. However, the children return and discover him with their father, and drive him from the house. Enraged at how the whole of humanity has treated him, the Monster sets fire to the cottage, killing the entire De Lacey family, and swears revenge on Frankenstein for bringing him into a world that hates him.

He travels to Geneva, where he manages to save a beautiful young girl from drowning. However, he is shot by the girl's father, who mistakenly thinks her is trying to hurt her. A few weeks after his wounds heal, he meets a young boy and tries to befriend him. The boy, Frankenstein's brother William, shrieks that he will send his father, Judge Frankenstein, after him. Upon learning that the boy is a Frankenstein, the Monster strangles him to death and takes a wallet, which contains a portrait of Frankenstein's mother. The Monster moves on and finds a young woman asleep in a barn. On an evil impulse, the Monster places the locket on her person, effectively framing her for William's murder. It is only after the police arrest her that the Monster realizes that she is Justine Moritz, the Frankensteins' servant. Justine is found guilty of William's murder and hanged.
