In comparing the "monsters" desire for a mate and children with the motivation for creating the monster in first place, the young scientist, Victor Frankenstein, had in mind that by creating the monster he was going to provide the betterment of the human race. Victor here wanted to appear as a creator of a living being which could be for the good of the humankind thus serves as the creator in this case. In his study between life and death about the science, victor becomes so obsessed with creating a being from inanimate objects. Therefore he begins to create man from the inanimate objects such as body parts of the dead people and try to animate the “monster.” In doing so, he eventually says that a new creature would bless him as his creator and the life source and also that the many precious natures would owe their existence to him. He further refers to the beings as being happy and excellent.
However, this does not turn to be the case in volume III. There occur specific disparities as compared to the motive that brought about the creation of the "monster." After his success in reanimating the creature, Victor suddenly gets shocked by the terrifying and horrific being that he created. Even though he has accomplished his desire, he does not continue to like the creature after that. He is suddenly filled with deep depressions, neglect and reject his creation. In volume III, the creature seeks to find his creator Victor. He demands to know why he is different from other men and also to present his need for a mate and children.
After facing rejection from the family of the poor peasants, Delaney's, the creature makes a vow in his mission to find out his nature compared with the humanity (Shelley, 156). The family rejects him because of his ugly visage (Shelley, 171). The “monster” later kills the victor’s young brother, William, and eventually directs he blames to victor for his neglect. Consequently, the creature kills more from the family of the victor. This mission arises after the creature vowed to so unless victor accepts his demand for a mate. With the circumstances, Victor goes ahead and create a mate for the monster but eventually kills the mate with fear that they would reproduce to large numbers. The “monster” later retaliates by killing victor’s wife, Elizabeth, on the wedding night. Finally, the monster completes his mission by killing his creator, Victor.
Unfortunately, in his attempt to gain humanity, the monster faces stiff rejection from the human race. He cannot be engaged in any of the economic exchange due to his distorted visage (Shelley, 132). This makes it unbearable for the community to have a conversation with the monster. After the monster had killed his maker, the monster thus faces a widespread rejection from the community. In his interaction with the poor peasant's family, at first, the old man deLacey, was a success. This was only because of the blindness of the old man. However, as the old man demands the whole life story of the monster, the interaction turns out to be unsuccessful. The story turned to be catastrophic and disastrous even to the old blind man (Shelley, 240). These denote the people’s outlook on the monster hence rejecting him besides having a part of human nature.
