15. The clipă when the creature, or "Victor Frankenstein jr.", as I like to call him, stoped to express his feelings begins with the rejection of the people, those around him.

16. If I had to think of a modern scientist, I would see a responsable man, which would be specifically and precisely in terms of his creation. And, Victor F., besides the fact that he let his own creation in the will of fate, he does not think about all the consequences that his work will have, transformed into obsession and then regrets.

17. He assumed his condition, and even used all the resources of his body and mind to have accomplishments. He also put in danger his relationship with Elizabeth and has neglected his family for science.

18. Yes, because from the begining till the end of the book, actions are influenced by the love for family, for the hometown, for humanity. For this reason, Victor deepens on studies and manages to give life to a new creature, which, tough it's supposed to be without soul, is a "monster" with big heart, able to love and wanting to be loved.

19. The creature begins to grow up immediately after his birth, when he stood alone in an unknow world. He starts step by step to discover the misteries of life, wheter good or bad, and, with each day, he realized how cruel the world is.

20. I think that more than evidence of wickedness were feelings of frustration, lack of affection and rejection. The crimes committed by the "creature" were the result of people inhumanity, of their lack of solidarity.

22. One of the alternatives, it would be like in the end, Victor and the monster get friends and Victor could be the one that tames the monster, improves physical appearance, gives him a name and thus, takes birth a new man, who finds a wife and lives happily with Victor's family.

11.From my point of view the creature is a human being because until the end proves to have feelings .
13.It's almost human, except that it has a monster appearance eventually
proves to have feelings and wants to be with a person like him and to love her.
19.In terms of physiological growth Frankestein is not growing, only mentally develops enourmous.Himself he learns to speak and read .
20.Yes there are few moments of maleficence at Frankestein but only because of human rejections.
21.I thing that Victor himself shoud be his maiden because he created him and should take care of him .
22.From my point of view I think that Victor should have take care of Frankestein not to abandon him from the begining .He should assume the responsability for him .A happy end for the book should be that Victor learns Frankestein everything about this life .and finds him a wife.

11. The creature is human because its feelings are like the feelings of the people, the creature loves and hates during the novel. Even Victor sayd that the monster is created from dead body parts.
13. The creature is almost entirely human because it wants to have a wife and when Victor does not agreed with this idea, the monster becomes nervous and angry. Therefore the behaviour of the monster is like a human behaviour, it loves and hates his creator when it is refused.
16. Victor is not a typology of a modern scientist because a modern scientist is more and more responsable and involved in his work than Victor, and If this do a wrong thing , he does not run away , he assumed his mistakes. Or a modern scientist thinks at disadvantages before he starts to create something.
22.I think that an alternative ending for this story can be: Victor can try to change the appearance of his monster, to make it look nicer on its face, like a face of a man , and after that Victor had to learn the creature how to live in this world, to find a wife for this and he did not have to run away from his creation. The monster would not has killed anybody, if Victor had not left the monster alone. So the end was one happy and Victor was pleased with his achievements.
