Frankenstein theme post

The biggest theme of the book Frankenstein is revenge. The monster is created by Victor only to be abandoned by him and called ugly. Even though the monster is caring and empathetic, he is overwhelmed by the need of vengeance and, feeling abandoned and betrayed, wants his creator to be in the same pain he is in. To take his revenge, the monster kills Victors brother and Justine is blamed and executed. This is his first act of revenge. Through out the book, the monster kills Henry, Elizebeth, and in a state of grief, Victors father dies. Victor later promises revenge on the monster for killing everyone he loved and searches for him for the rest of his life.
