Explanation:
In Mary Shelley’s novel Frankenstein, Frankenstein does not feel he has the right to take the life of his monster, although he wants revenge. In fact, he spends much of the novel trying to avoid and evade the monster, who he sees as a symbol of his own failures and weaknesses as a scientist and a human being. Frankenstein is haunted by the guilt and responsibility he feels for creating the monster, and is wracked with fear and anxiety over the consequences of his actions. Ultimately, it is the monster who seeks to destroy Frankenstein, not the other way around.
