God on Frankenstein

Mary Shelley in her novel "Frankenstein"gives Victor the power to create a new creature using different parts of human beings. It is here where we can perceive the author wanted to show us that men are constantly trying to imitate God in order to produce or create new things. Human beings, above all artists, think that they are able to create the Nature. But, this thought is wrong because men are only able to transform natural elements not create them at all.

On the other hand, this novel presents to us a good question which is : Who is the moster Victor or his creation? If we think about the monster, Victor wanted create a creature similar to him. So, if his creature was a monster, Victor was a monster too. At the same time, if God created human beings similar to him and Victor is one of them, it is likely that God is also a monster, but what kind of monster is he? In fact, we have to define if a monster is a monster for his or her physical appearance or psychological attitudes. Furthermore, Victor took an attitude of God not also when he created this monster, but when he left his monster alone giving him "Free well" as well as God gives Human beings. In effect, the monster became to learn on streets good and bad things, so he had to choose what things do or not.
