Frankenstein
Mary Shelley
The creature performs actions in the book that he believes is justified based on his hatred for his creator and all that he has put him through. Is that really justification though? Well, whether it is or is not, the rest of the story is based on the fact that these events happened. The creature's only desire was to be accepted. (Obviously that is far too much to ask for when you are hideous) The whole mess started with Frankenstein not accepting responsibility of his creation. It is like saying that you are so excited to see your new child, but because the child was not what you were expecting you rid yourself of the child. It is nonsense! The creature even tried to find love elsewhere, but could not even talk to anyone, because no one would give him the time of day. The creature hates Victor, kills William, and Justine; Frankenstein seeks to kill the monster, because he is killing his loved ones. None of his actions were actually justifiable, but how would Victor not expect him to react that way? If not even his own creator would accept him, who would? In the creature's logic, he had reason, and he did have reason for hating his creator; however, none of the deaths had to happen.
