Response paper: Frankenstein by Mary Shelley

The creature felt remorse for the lives he had taken, prompting him to take his own and

rendering Victor's efforts futile. Mary Shelley’s “Frankenstein” concludes with the vengeful

Victor Frankenstein demanding retribution for the deaths of his family and friends. Throughout

the novel, Victor is in pursuit for the ostensible monster in the hopes to exacting revenge through

execution. The text is built on the assumption that readers can comprehend Victor’s struggles in

order to achieve the desired outcome of seeking vengeance on the murderer. In the final moment,

his trials were for the naught since the monster’s primary objective was to see him suffer as he

continued to live in wretchedness, aware that Victor will never seek the vengeance he so

desperately wants. When he perishes, the affliction he encountered were for nothing as he failed

to do enact his objectives.

Victor’s inability to decapitate the monster meant that the ending did not meet the

intended outcome. The months of intense efforts tracking the daemon appears futile in the end.

Like his preceding fixation with creating the human form, which led to the formation of a
monster that he now wishes to rid himself, he grows established with the purpose of seeking

retribution. He inevitably fails to capture the daemon and execute his objectives, just as he does

in his experiments. The chaos and wretchedness he invented was the aftereffect of his obsessive

natural curiosity and revenge, which proved ineffectual in the end as he failed to develop both.

If Victor is unable to slay the monster himself, he delegated the task to Walton. Prior to

meeting Walton, Victor recounts the events of his life, including how the monster came to be and

the tragedy that resulted from it. He warns the captain about its capability to enact evil deeds,

and therefore must be stopped. When Walter discovers this, Frankenstein, the monster, alerts him

that he is remorseful, as well as taking his own life being an initiative. As a result, Victor's

efforts to have someone else carry out his goal of getting rid of the creature rendered the ending

ineffective because it did not satisfy his strong thirst for vengeance.

Victor unable to avenge the bloodshed of his family and friends fails to satisfy his

obsession of executing the monster. Drawn by the idea of seeking justice, he follows the

monster’s paths as he ventures in the mountains. The creature committed many murders, that was

driven by the cruelty and exclusion from society. The ending corresponds with the rest of the

novel because Victor seeks vengeance for the lives taken by the monster throughout the story.

His desire to avenge these people is what drove him to exhaustion, resulting in the ending as it is.

The novel's conclusion demonstrates that he failed to provide them with justice for their deaths.
