So technically, since Frankestein is the creator, the creature is the slave. But, when Frankenstein started to do his bidding, the creature became the master. This relationship continues when Frank follows the creature the ends of the world. Yet by the end, we see that the creature is also a slave to his urges, to his whims of destroying his creator. And so it all goes back to Frankestein, who becomes no longer the slave but the victim and master, with his demise sending his slave to his death. It's like a game, with the ball of superiority going back and forth between the two.
Luisa's right that the ball of superiority goes back and forth. However, Victor in the end gets the last laugh. It is Creature who cried at his deathbed and who felt pity for him. C. falls as a "slave to [his] urges." They each fall prey to their urges and to each other, but ultimately, Victor ends up with the ball last
I agree with what you said Alex and Luisa but there is also the fact that Victor does not know that he is the master at the end. He dies thinking that the monster will continue roaming free and killing people with no human powerful enough to stop him.

ReplyDeleteAs alex said, the ball of superiority goes back and forth; they are both slaves and masters to each other. They depend and rely on each other.
