In today's court I am going to convict Victor Frankenstein in many murders. He created a being that destroyed the lives of innocent people. Frankenstein never considered how such a creature with a horrifying appearance would be able to exist with humans. He didn't take responsibility for his creature; instead Frankenstein abandoned, neglected, and abused his creature. He never realized that the lack of parental love and guidance would lead the creature to a murderous path. Moreover, Frankenstein kept in secret his creature's existence and chose not to reveal it to his family and friends. By doing so, he jeopardized the lives of his loved ones and put them in danger. With my evidence and supports, I am going to prove that Victor Frankenstein, as a parent, is responsible for the creature's actions causing the deaths of his friends and family.

By violating the laws of nature, Victor Frankenstein tried to discover "the cause of generation and life," and "became . . .capable of bestowing animation upon lifeless matter" (Shelley 68).

Victor's kindness was that he let the creature kill his friend Henry, by simply not warning him.

The same occurrence happened to Elizabeth, Victor's bride. When Victor rejected the creature to create a female companion for him the creature replied: "I go; but remember, I shall be with you on your wedding night" (123). By hearing this Victor knew that the life of his bride was in danger. He risked the life of Elizabeth by not warning her of the danger. The consequences of keeping his creature's existence in secret were disastrous. He could have save the lives of his loved ones but he did not even try.

had "lost all soul or sensation but for this one pursuit" (70). He had "worked nearly two years for the sole purpose of infusing life into an inanimate body" (72). During these two years Victor became selfish and had no contact with his parents, Elizabeth and William, who were impatiently waiting for a letter from there loved one. In her letter to Victor, Elizabeth writes; "Yet one word from you, dear Victor, is necessary to calm our apprehensions" (68).

Victor made the decision to give life to a being without considering the possible consequences of creating life. After "inc
