In Mary Shelley's novel Frankenstein, Victor Frankenstein and the monster are linked by a complex relationship. Frankenstein's monster is subservient to his creator, Victor, who is the only man with the knowledge to create another of his kind. On the other hand, Frankenstein is passive towards his creation, because he is physically stronger than him and has the ability to kill his entire circle of family and friends, and it doesn't take him much effort to do so. Their relationship is not marked by the “Superhero” pattern. After recounting the tragedy of being rejected by Felix's family, the creature begs Frankenstein to have mercy on him. The monster asks Frankenstein for a favor: “He continues: 'You must create for me a woman with whom I can live in the exchange of those sympathies necessary for my being. Only you can do this" (130). In this case, the demon puts himself in a position of submission. Through these words the creature admits Victor's singular intelligence and ability. Victor is the only one capable of creating a mate for him. The monster believes that his partner is absolutely necessary to his being, so he requires a role of submission and reliance on the kindness that Victor will express. It is also widespread while at the same time the creature is subservient to its creator, Victor's. even destiny is in the hands of his creature. The creature warns Victor of what might happen if Victor decides not to obey the monster's demands: “Take care; I will work for your destruction, and I will not finish until I desolate your heart, so that you will curse the hour of your birth” (131). The creature realizes that it has power and is currently... the center of the card... completely anti-hero. Both have perpetrated evil against each other, and both characters have suffered so much that it is difficult not to express sympathy towards them. Victor comes to the conclusion near the end that the real enemy is ambition: “Seek happiness in tranquility and avoid ambition, even if it is only apparently innocent, that of distinguishing yourself in science and discoveries. (200). Ambition drives Frankenstein to create the monster in the first place, and without it the tragic ending could have been completely avoided. If Victor had pursued scientific knowledge like the rest of his colleagues, none of his family would have killed. As Frankenstein lies on death's heel, he has come to the conclusion that an innocent intention can quickly turn into disaster. Works Cited Shelley, Mary. Frankenstein. 1818.
