Mary Shelleys Frankenstein: Why didn the monster kill Victor?
You’re right about why the monster doesn’t kill Victor. That’s all there really is to it – Victor is his mother, father, and in a sense also his god. The monster cannot kill his parent, and so instead kills those close to him. By killing everyone around Victor, the monster ensures that Victor will have no one but him. Victor claims to have created the monster to further science. However, he often comes across as having selfish motives. He sometimes seems to be in it for the fame, glory, and money. He also wants to bring his mother back from the dead. This is where he gets the idea of bringing back the loved ones of others through a sort of business.
