Real?

What’s the deal with this monster. He thinks he knows what he wants, but what does he know? First of all, he is not a real person. He had no childhood or any experiences for that matter. All he knows is what he sees. Everything he knows about human thought and emotion and desires has come from the outside. He is unable to create these feelings himself.
It wasn’t until after the monster has seen Felix’s Safie that he had thoughts of love and companionship with a ‘bride of Frankenstein.’ And further, the being does not curse his creator until after reading Paradise Lost. All of the bad feelings and hatred toward humanity come to him after he observes these feelings from others. Even when he is chased out of town for the first time, he is rather confused, not angered. He simply keeps on truckin. If Frankenstein’s being is a blank slate, then human nature must be evil. Humans and society are what made him act out. People turned him against themselves due to their evil nature. The being could not help but imitate those he saw and that imitation made him corrupt and capable of vengeful murders.
