True altruism of character is something that people very rarely possess. It is a survival instinct and part of human nature to make decisions that suit your individual needs, rather than those of another. That said, through the development of cultured and civilized society, it has become assumed that by moving away from wild life, people will develop an altruistic sense of the needs of others. In Mary Shelley's Frankenstein, Victor Frankenstein is shown many times to not only be incapable of thinking about the future, but also to not possess this ideal of responsibility to help others due to his lack of guidance for his creation. The doctor could have helped his creature acclimate to society by raising and teaching him at his birth, publishing and spreading word of his discoveries, and escorting the monster with him. Despite how horrific the monster was, it was Victor's duty to take responsibility for his creation, and doing so would drastically change the outcome of the story more in Victor's favor than anyone else's. After years of understanding and getting used to it, people accept the world they live in as the norm. This acceptance, however, is pushed and aided by suggestions and encouragement from parents or guiding figures. Waking up in a world and being immediately abandoned would be the height of confusion. More than anything, people crave human attention and companionship, simply because there are lessons to be learned from others. Being abandoned from birth would not only take a toll on someone emotionally, but it would also leave them navigating and discovering what is actually a strange and unruly world. In this way, Dr. Frankenstein's immediate abandonment of his creation is the most serious... means of paper... stuck the knife deeper into the monster's emotional wound, and pushed him to commit crimes. horrors he eventually committed. .Finally, the doctor brought about his own downfall by not taking any kind of custody over his monster. This way he could escort the creature and warn people not to wake up. Once again, this would not only nurture a sense of ownership in the monster's mind, but also allow him to learn about the world and how it works. Instead, the monster questions its existence and asks, "Why did I live? Why, in that instant, did I not extinguish the spark of existence that you had so arbitrarily given me?" (Page 110) By escorting the sites of his creation, Frankenstein would take full responsibility for the monster and create as close to a real family dynamic as possible that has been shown to allow people to mature properly..
