Moral message of Frankenstein
Does anybody else have theories on possible messages behind the story? I personally think there's a bit of a "Monsters aren't born, they are created" theme going on here. The monster's violent side seems more swayed by Victor's rejection than anything. What do you think?

I found throughout the whole telling of the monsters story he was trying to get pity from Victor. The monster told his feelings throughout his hardships to allow Victor to relate to him. Then the monster tells his reason for seeking Victor: for him to create a mate. Will the monster be correct in saying that him and his mate will live peacefully? Or will they together create destruction. The monsters feelings point to peace but his actions of killing point to a negative harmful side.
As for your question I think that is the moral of the story as well! The monster was generally benevolent and harmless when created but after being lonely and being hated by mankind he was created into a monster.
