He flies high above all the others,
Declaring soverienty to sisters and brothers
Arrogant and haughty he may seem,
Believed himself better than all
Saying to all, "Bow to me!"
Then one day, when the sun was tall,
All of his feathers did start to fall.
Fall, fall, fall from his body, they did
All the while they fell, his grace did too.
His flock laughed and mocked at him,
Pride, once his comfort, was now shame.

Frankenstein Paragraph
The monster is more human than Frankenstein because the monster never originally wanted to harm anyone. Frankenstein made the monster miserable time and time again. The monster was "raised" in this hatred and therefore gave back the same. For this reason, I believe that the monster is more human than Frankenstein because all the monster wants is to have a companion to love and Frankenstein only wants to destroy the monster.
Frankenstein only made the monster miserable and full of agony when it was in his power and his duty as the creator's father to give him happiness. Victor abandoned his creation assuming him to be ferine after seeing how ugly it was on the outside without ever thinking that real beauty lies within. He never considered the fact that the monster might have had a heart that didn't go with his face. Also, Victor was obdurate toward the monster's pleas and refused to give the monster the only chance he had at happiness when the monster so earnestly wanted it; a companion to live, love, and die with.
The monster never originally wanted to hurt anyone. Instead, his black heart of hatred and wantonness was fueled by the very hatred and wantonness of Frankenstein and all of the people who rejected him. He was alone in the world with no convalescence. No one would talk to him, provide comfort and ministrations to him and accept him. Yes, the monster commited terrible murders on those who were innocent in an attempt to destroy Frankenstein, but the monster never wanted to go through with those awful acts. The morose monster is filled with regret at those sins and the pain he caused, but Frankenstein's largest regret was ever creating the monster.
Now then, after hearing about the acts of these two men, which one really deserves to be called the monster?
