If Victor would have welcomed his creation instead of
running away from it, the plot would have played out differently. I believe
that Victor would have to face more problems because he’d be faced with far
more responsibilities. Technically as the creator of the ‘monster,’ Victor
would have to act like a father. He’d face all the responsibilities that come
within being a parent. He’d have to worry about feeding the creature and giving
it shelter. Victor would have to mentor the monster, instead of the monster having
to learn things on its own, like he did. Not only that, but Victor would also
have to try to humanize the monster, which would be impossible to do so. If Victor
were to welcome the monster, he would probably have to live his life hiding. So
far into the story, Frankenstein lives hiding because everyone is scared of
him. Frankenstein is also described as a hideous creature because he does not
look, nor is, human. They see him and immediately think of danger, and they
even try to harm him. If Victor were to welcome him he’d have to keep Frankenstein
safe, and that would be difficult since he is big in size. Victor would get
criticized for creating the monster, and people would probably try to kill him
as well. In my opinion, Victor would put his life in danger if he were to
welcome Frankenstein, but it could also do him good, since he’d have a
companion and would not have to deal with the feeling of loneliness.
I agree with you that Victor would have had to take full responsibility of his creature and he would have had to deal with the consequences that occur from it. The creature would never have been accepted and that would have been a problem for Victor. I liked how you felt Victor would put his life in danger, it's a different twist.
