The Doppelganger Motif plays an important role in Mary Shelley's Frankenstein. A Doppelganger is a ghostly double that haunts its corporeal counterpart. Basically, it is the counterpart of a living person or is sometimes referred to as an alter ego. The relationship between Victor and the nameless creature in the story represents this motif. It is very difficult to decipher who represents good and who represents evil, the creator or the created. It is very typical to assume that the monster represents the evil side, yet it is Victor Frankenstein who creates it and walks away from responsibility. Victor's actions, characterized by cowardice, lead to the death of his young brother and later his wife Elizabeth. Due to Victor's selfish and evil nature, the creature haunts him endlessly. The monster becomes the external embodiment of Frankenstein's increasingly conflicted personality. The grotesque physical appearance of the creature shows the image of Victor Frankenstein, purely intellectual and heartless, which is the opposite of the young man who begins his studies with the hope and desire to contribute to the betterment of humanity. Shelley's goal, by combining the two opposites, is to clearly represent the concept of monstrosity to his readers. Victor and the creature he created function as stunt doubles. However, they differ in their physical appearance. Furthermore, while Victor grows up in a loving family environment, the creature grows up alone, soon abandoned by his creator. Victor's classical education differs from the creature's self-education. Besides the obvious differences between Victor and the monster, their dual natures come together to function as one. Both Victor and the creature share a love of nature, and both see themselves... in the center of the card... r, the dual natures of Victor and the creature become similar and end up functioning as one. First, Victor and later the monster transform into a real monster due to their isolation from society. Victor and his creature are vividly represented as two opposites who constantly chase each other. They mirror each other in different ways: the grotesqueness of the creature is an embodiment of Victor's conflicted nature, while Victor's human corporeal appearance is a demonstration of the monster's internal nature. By juxtaposing these very different characters, Mary Shelley brings out the concept of true "monstrosity"; the two opposites are a single being. They represent Shelley's true demon. Shelley's message is clear: pursue knowledge and aspire, by all means, to the greatest possible measure; but do not climb so high or so far that you lose sight of yourself. It will be your end.
