It is clear that Victor did not intend to turn the monster into a killer: he simply wanted to realize his dream of creating another life. Victor abandons the monster, which already describes how cruel life can be that your own creator cannot find the love to give you. The monster may venture into the streets only to realize how terrible it truly is. His first encounter in the world is to see an old man running away in horror and fear. Once he entered the village, “[they were] awakened; some fled, others attacked [him], until, [he was] severely wounded by stones and many other kinds of thrown weapons” (Shelley 123). He even took it upon himself to help the poor girl who had slipped into the river, but being 8 feet tall and terrifying, a man “lunged towards [him]… ripping the girl from [his] arms… pointed a gun at [his] ] body and fired” (Shelley 169). The monster was “benevolent and good,” but because of the way people reacted and treated him, “misery made him a demon” (Shelley 114). The evilness of humans and their nature to take on characters based on appearance is very evident in this novel. In essence, the downfall (their death) of both Gregor and the monster is characterized by the fact that they no longer fit into society. Gregor can no longer provide for his family just as the monster is not allowed to integrate with people. It is because of the evil of human nature that both characters confront each other
