• the monster of my creation Of all Victor's terms for the being he has brought to life this seems the most directly
    applicable to a true understanding of the dynamics that underlie the identification
    of him as monstrous. No longer merely a "monster" in and of himself, here the Creature
    is designated as being created in such a form. Victor thus tacitly acknowledges his
    responsibility for making his Creature monstrous, whether in deed or by the mere utterance
    of the word.
