Dialogue between Frankenstein and the Creation

Frankenstein, the creator, has a stubborn, accusatory diction towards his creation, and he lacks to use evidence to back his judgments which makes him the weaker perspective throughout the argument, and leads the reader to gain the creation’s favor. For example, Frank’s first word to formally speak to his creation results in an insult, “Devil” and he continually reiterates patronizing insults like “vile insect,” “abhorred monster,” and “fiend” to demonstrates a clearly biased, accusatory tone. The only claim Frank uses to back his claim is the murders that his creation caused. However, the creation quickly rebuttals, “You accuse me of murder, and yet you would, with a satisfied conscience, destroy your own creature. Oh, praise the eternal justice of man!” This destroys Frankenstein’s argument and the creature continues, “Yet you, my creator, detest and spurn me, thy creature, to whom thou art bound by ties only dissoluble by the annihilation of one of us.” The monster states the obvious lack of responsibility his creator takes and emphasizes on Frank’s weaker mental. Yet, the creator’s only response is minutiae ridicule and a fiery attitude to fight instead of talk. Frank most likely understands in both verbal and physical argument he will most likely lose, but there is more credentials for Frank losing a fist fight over an intellectual argument on his moral lapse. Also, to emphasize on Frank’s bad character, the fight is in vain. The reader understands Frank’s perpetual misery, the fight would only finish to end Frank’s ceaseless suffering with death. This proves more so the sympathy the reader holds for the creation over its creator.
