Antagonist
The antagonist is the force against the protagonist, getting in it's way and making the story more interesting.
Frankenstein's monster is the antagonist of story; killing Victor's family, scaring villagers and the rest of the monster shtick makes it obvious. However, unlike basic other monsters Frankenstein's monster is smarter, stronger and uglier.
The monster learns a whole language in little time and quickly understands fire and it's uses. He's the perfect amount of human and inhuman; the scariest brand of monster. Additionally is very good at making himself seem like the victim saying, " I can't be guilty of murder; I didn't ask to be born." He sounds almost like a tragic hero but murder is still murder and he is definitely guilty. |
