Slave

I find myself forgetting as I read that Mart Shelley's Frankenstein began with Frankenstien recounting his story to Walton. He meant to teach Walton a lesson through his story, and I think this lesson really become eminent towards the end of the novel when the creature's interactions with Frankenstein become more and more frequent. The creature often refers to Frankenstein as "slave" or commands him to do his bidding. "Slave, I before reasoned with you, but you have proved yourself unworthy of my condescension. Remember that I have power; you believe yourself miserable, but j can make you so wretched that the light of day will be hateful to you. Oh are my creator, but I am your master; obey!" The creature realizes it's full power over Victor. Not only does it possess physical advantages, but these physical strengths allow him to destroy the emotional state of others. He is also very clever and knows exactly how to cause victor the most possible misery. Again, I feel no pity for Victor. He refuses time and time again to grant the creature his very reasonable request that Victor, as his creator, surely owes him. Victor shows no mercy towards the helpless creature to whom he have a miserable life. He hears the warning of the monster, and still refuses his end of the promise, apart making it hard to feel pity for him when the creature keeps his word and kills Elizabeth.
