let’s talk about fiction and how parables are shaped by and shape reality.  Specifically in the novel Frankenstein by Mary Shelley.

Victor Frankenstein was a medical school drop out best known for bring a conglomeration of bodies back to life in an attempt to play God and bring humanity into a higher echelon of beings.  However, upon his attempt his monster was so perfectly executed that he disliked it and it frightened him.  This is tell-tale postpartum depression.  It was at the time of Mary Shelley, and is still, common in new mothers.  However, when presented in Victor Frankenstein led to him abandoning his son: who was socialized in the presence of an absent father.  This led to a resentment of his father and condemning him.  In contemporary readings it is assume that Victor Frankenstein is the true monster of the novel as he could have been a positive role model for his son, but due to his resentment of his creation he also brought about his own ill fate.

Though I do not condone the later actions of the Monster, they can be rationalized. Loneliness and derision can be strong motivators on a juvenile mind.  You are not alone.  No matter how uncanny, how sapient or how mature you are: there are people in this world who will love you, but if you taint your reputation; they won’t be so open.
