Frankenstein: Analysis

What the book Frankenstein says is that who should be more powerful the creation or the creator, and that is the message of the story and that is the main conflict too. The reason being that the doctor is deciding weather or not he wants to allow his creation to live, but as a murderer, and an outcast from society, or kill his creation, that has tried to kill him and killed alot of other people that he cares about. The decision is eventually made for the doctor when everyone he really cares for is killed by the monster leading him to beleive that he needs to put the monster down and no one else can do it but him, becuase he knows what it is cappable of. But in the end this message is shown to be true when the doctor dies of a sickness in the North Pole, and when the monster finds the body he cries then floats out on an ice raft to kill himself. In the end I would say in regards to the message that in the case of just this book, I would infer the creator is more powerful because he creates the monster, and is the main cause of the monsters murderous rampage, and the cause of the monsters sadness that leads to the monsters death. My evidence here is that at the end these line can prove my point, “I am malicious because I am miserable. You, my creator, would tear me to pieces, and triumph; remember that, and tell me why I should pity man more than he pities me?  (Shelley 173) This how s the monster is starting to question why he should care for human when they don't care for him.  The next quote will prove that the monster is more powerful by telling the doctor if I can't have love I will have to cause fear, here is the quote, "The human senses are insurmountable barriers to our union. If I cannot inspire love, I will cause fear." (Shelley 173). So in the end all of these quotes were said by the monster, and these words are what drive the doctor to hunt the monster down.
