Discussion questions:
B Block
1. How are the creature's emotions similar to those of Robert's & Victor's?
2. How does the mistreatment of the creature justify the murder he committed?
F Block
1. In what way do Victor and the creature share a connection to nature?
2. How has the creature's upbringing helped to shape his morals and values?
3. Why does the creature want Victor to create another creature? What is Shelley trying to tell us about human relationships?
For later ...
1. In what way is Victor's decision to create another monster due to sympathy/fear?
2. What does it mean to be human? Is the creature human? Is Victor?
3. The creature wants to both kill Frankenstein and enlist his help. What does this show about his character?
4. What effect did Mary Shelley's choice to abruptly chase the creature's companions out of the story have on the creature?
5. Why do you think Victor has agreed to make a female version of the creature even though he is hateful and angry with his original?
6. How was Victor's agreement to create the second creature justification for creating the first?
7. Why is creating a female creature the morally correct/incorrect thing to do?
