Frankenstein man or monster?

Frankenstein has purposed the question of how do we determine when someone is a man or a monster. I guess it all depends on who is seeing the monster and interacting with him. His creator is someone who cannot even stand being near him but becomes one of the only people who the monster can have a conversation with. Everyone else who sees him gets frightened and either tries to harm him or runs away. But the reactions that he receives effects him emotionally and causes his mood to change very drastically. In a way the monster is seeing more beauty in the world that some "normal" people are.

He talks about the ways in which the seasons and how the sunlight and nature just uplifts his spirits, almost making him forget about the things happening around him. The monster is even friendly and willing to help people out when they are in danger. Then a whole different person occurs when he begins to be judge off of his looks. I feel bad for him because deep down he probably is this caring, nurturing person who does not realize his own strength when he does something wrong or hurtful.

We can think about this in our everyday lives. How many times have you walked around and made fun of how someone looks or their clothes or how they act? What if you were to find out that people were making fun of you? You obviously would not be happy about it, maybe even to the point of being harmful to them or even yourself.
