ROLE OF PARENTS
I believe that Victor does have responsibility in taking care of his newly created monster, and is now the father figure in the monsters life. He has just created a being that is basically a “blank slate”, and now he has the responsibility to take care of, and to teach the monster how to live and what to do because the monster is clueless. I think that Victor definitely should have been more of a father figure, because he was the only manly figure that interacted with the monster and should’ve helped him out after creating him. I think that after he saw what he had created and he was terrified, he should have figure out how to destroy it, or thought about that before he raised him to life. If he was going to create this monster, he probably should have known what to do if something went wrong when trying to wake him. I believe that isolating him would have made him more prone to attacking people in society, or not knowing how to live in public. Letting him go into the world, with someone following him and watching him, may have been better for him than keeping him from society. I think that Victor is completely to blame for the monster becoming a murderer because everyone always knows that nothing good comes from creating a monster, and the fact that he went to sleep after he let him come alive, and did not watch him to see what he would do is not helping his case at all.
