In Reply to: Frankenstein- Search for Worth posted by Carol Lonetto on January 26, 19100 at 16:46:17:

Frankenstein was wrong not to nurture his creation, as was everyone else who was lucky enough to be within its presence. Even so, the creation was capable of teaching himself the values that humans consider essential to life. He learnt pain, the want for love (love which he unfortunately never recieved), and the most unfortunately, he learnt the ways of hate and destuction. The latter of those emotions is where Frankenstein decided to display most of his energy, which is understandable. His negative attitude could have just as well been one of optimism and joy, had the society for which he was created gave him a better welcoming. Or more appropriately, any welcoming at all. Frankenstein could have, and was willing, to live without any community. He didn't need them. Without them, he lived to oppose them, and that was bad. But it was without them that he lived. He didn't need his community. But, I can guarentee that with them he would have not been so evil to them. Yes their nurturing would have brought the creature into acceptable terms with them, and a happy life with them, but I don't feel that a community was essentail to the creature's survival.
