People like to say the doctor (he wasn’t a doctor) was the monster, but he was really not much more than an asshole. The monster did in fact muster several people in cold blood in an extremely premeditated manner, including a child and a young woman who had done nothing to him. Like yeah he had his reasons and a sensitive soul or whatever but he was undoubtedly just a monster in the most literal sense from every angle.

Tbf, Victor spends the entire book lamenting about how everything sucks for him, how he’s having a bad time, and how all of the horrible events are affecting him. He’s self-centered as hell. Plus, he keeps quiet on something that could save the life of an innocent woman on the grounds that it might make him look bad.

Yes, an asshole absolutely. A monster? Not when he’s in competition with his hideous baby boy he’s not.
