Frankenstein... The Anti-Christ

Stylistically, the novel Frankenstein is written in a sort of third person in third person in third person manner. This provides the reader the opportunity to "bond" or relate to one or all of the three of the narrators. The parts I enjoyed most are the opinions the creature had on morality. He criticizes human nature because he has been treated poorly by everyone... especially Victor Frankenstein. If you think about it, the person who is physically the least present his the creature's life is the most influential. Frankenstein's lack of presence is most distressing to the creature. Even though Frankenstein immediately abandons the creature, he is still the creator and still has control over some aspects of the creature. The creature is taller, stronger, and more powerful than Frankenstein yet calls him as his "natural lord and king." The book has so many underlying themes but what it boils down to is a creator vs. creation story. I kind of had this God and Adam idea in my head from the beginning and when the creature itself references that creation story, it solidified my thoughts that Frankenstein was indeed the opposite of God. Christians believe that despite man's many flaws and sins, God will love us no matter what. Jesus died for our sins and now we are perfect in the eyes of God. Frankenstein, on the other hand, despises his creation with every ounce of his being... even though the creature is "born" pure and without sin. He flat out says, "Cursed be the day, abhorred devil, in which you first saw light! Cursed (although I curse myself) be the hands that form you!" Harsh. And when the creature does sin, it immediately seeks forgiveness, "grant me thy compassion." And Frankenstein is still rude. Even though Humans are born sinners, God both forgives them and seeks a relationship.... and we can't exactly say the same for Frankenstein.
