Frankenstein: The Fierce Nonacceptance of the Creature

      Throughout the entirety of Frankenstein by Mary Shelley, I take note of the fierce unacceptance of the creature.  Believing the hideous creature to be inherently evil, Victor and the rest of the humans that the creature encounters flee from him in utter terror.  Upon finding the books in the forest, even the creature understands that he is "dependent on none, and related to none" (Shelley, 91).  Now, the creature has an extreme hatred of self as he discovers humankind's rejection of him.  Even his creator, Victor Frankenstein, shows no compassion to the creation that he gave life.  The creature reasons that if even his own creator is gusted by him, then he must be a work of Satan.  I believe that it is this loneliness and self-hatred that motivates the creatures to ask for a companion.  This would put an end to the creature's murderes, and also an end to his loneliness.
