The monster feels isolated, as he is the only one in his species. He is alone in the world and when he asks Frankenstein to create "mate" for him. He refuses and suffers for not taking responsibility and so is punished severely by losing his love, Elizabeth. The monster punishes Frankenstein for isolating him from the rest of humanity. The isolation of the monster shows us that society is very defensive, and looks to push away anyone, in this case the creature, who can not be excepted because he is different. The monster is different, as he is an unnatural creation of Victor Frankenstein who has broken laws of religion trying to play God. Society does not accept the creation as Frankenstein played God, it is believed that life can only be given and taken by God. This is one of the main reasons for the monster's isolation. Society does not understand the monster, it only fears him for its strength and size, and the ability it has to harm other people. He was judged for his looks and the way people saw him, this scared society and the cause of isolation to the creature, mankind rejected him. He choose to hide away from society and its troubles as his own father described him as a "wretch" and "hideous". The monster originally wanted love of a parent, but grew to hate its creator, turning to violence. A reason for his violence was "I am malicious because I am miserable". The creature's infancy is similar to Shelly's stories about isolation, such as "The Last Man". Society does not understand the monster and its feelings. The creature is in a world with no one to talk to. It is for this isolation, the monster grew to hate its master.
Victor Frankenstein is another person who became isolated from the world, as he did not take responsibility for his creation. He rejected it and had to face the consequences of his creation anger for not offering it love as a parent. Victor became isolated for his ideas. Cautioned that going into areas, which are unnatural. Victor was almost forced to create the monster form pressure of academic approval with his professors and his isolation of himself from humans. Victor feelings about life at home in Geneva were that "secluded and domestic" felt "cooped up". It was the isolation from human contact, while taking on bizarre experiments, constructions of the body. Long hours of work at the mortuary meant that this way of life could not be shared with anyone. Victor isolated himself socially, physically and mentally. Victor isolated himself from the natural role of parentage, having to take the role of a father, mother and God. Victor's first view of his monster's birth as "corpse of my dead mother" as he was so horrified by the looks of his creation. If Victor did not accept his own creation, then society surely would not accept it either. There is no relationship between master and creature, as Victor has not accepted the creature as his responsibility and his son. His experiment on the creating life is thought to be amoral. For Victor Frankenstein to think that he had the right to create life, a gift of God only and a special gift at that. The isolation of Elizabeth from him that till toady is still a debate for singe-parents, and it may be Victor's loneliness forced him to abandon the monster. He was not able to adopt the love and relationship between him and the monster. Frankenstein did not ever teach his creation morals and therefore failed to embrace the idea a person is made by body and sole. This meant that the monster had no awareness between right and wrong, so the creature was an amoral being. It meant that when the monster killed it felt no remorse. As it felt increasingly alone, its emotions developed into hatred and anger for Victor and it took this anger out on society around it. Its reason for murder was "barbarity of man". This is a cautionary tale about Victor's pride, which isolated him from the approval of the rest of humanity and the love of his fiancée. Victor's creation also forced him away from society as he tried to play God. His experiment on creating life was seen to be amoral by society and especially aquatints at his university. Victor hoped "A new species would bless him as its creator"
In the creation of the monster, Frankenstein isolated himself from Elizabeth, leaving her lonely. Elizabeth grew from a lonely childhood, and developed love for Victor but was rejected against his work. She was a complete human being who felt the pain of rejection and isolation. Being human she felt the revolt of the unnatural creation, as the monster murdered her after her marriage with Victor, and the murder of Victors brother. Elizabeth would have been married to Victor had had children if Frankenstein had not created the creature, by playing God. If Victor had taken responsibility and parented the creation he would not have lost his wife, Elizabeth. Victor realised that it was best at home, "how much happier that man is who believes his native town to be his world". This showed that he missed his home and his love, Elizabeth. Victor described Elizabeth as "saintly soul" and "celestial eyes". Elizabeth hoped for "placid contentment" with Victor.
Unnaturally, Frankenstein felt that he had the right to kill the monster and of that process he lost his wife, by not creating a mate for the monster who did not want to feel lonely anymore. The laws of natural philosophy had been turned upside down and the consequences of this indicated by terrible sad images of the isolated monster finding peace only when it was totally alone.
