He builds a creature and brings it to life but is horrified by its appearance and calls it a monster. The creature tries to be good but is shunned and attacked making it angry and violent. Victor is ambitious – he is a dreamer, full of strange ideas, who believes that his work will improve the world. The Monster, made of corpses, looks hideous and he is extremely strong and agile. Although the Monster commits violent acts, he is deeply misunderstood. This “monster” is the supposed murdered of several characters throughout the book and is presumably the main antagonist. However, the actions of Victor Frankenstein suggest that the monster is in fact Victor himself.
