The essence of Frankenstein was about human nature. Specifically that we hate ugly things and love beautiful things even when the beautiful are evil and the ugly kind [1]. The only reason the creation wanted to destroy the creator was that the creation had no place in this world and was denied even a small amount of peace by the creator that condemned it to existence.
[1] When the beautiful doctor started working with dead bodies and so on, it was a "phase" he was going through. Not a bad person at all. When the monster saved a man's daughter from drowning he was shot for his trouble because something so ugly could only be evil.
- qu4z-2 14y agoThank you for pointing out the common misunderstanding of the Frankenstein story. It bugs me almost as much as all of the "Before Colombus, people thought the world was flat." repetition.
