The novel Frankenstein by Mary Shelley is a Frame story, in fact, it is a triply framed story so there are three narrators: Captain Walton on the extreme outside, Victor Frankenstein on the inside, and the monster at isolated incidences.
Walton is the first narrator. In fact the entire novel is a seris of letters he writes to his sister. He then writes the accounts of Frankensteins life as though Victor himself is wrtitting it. Through Victors story we learn the story of the Creature as the Creature told Victor. Then it reverts back to Victors narrative, then finally to Walton again.

It could be argued that there are three narrators or just one, Walton, who tells all three stories. I prefer the first, because each character tells their story in the frist person.

The narrator of the novel is Captain Robert Walton. Throughout the novel, though, he is writing down the story dictated to him by Victor Frankenstein. For a few chapters, the creature is telling his story, so he becomes the narrator for a short time.

There are actually three narrators in Mary Shelly's "Frankenstein." Captain Walton on the outside, Victor Frankenstein on the inside, and the monster in isolated incidents.

Who was Frankenstein the monster's creator?


Who was Frankenstein the doctor or the monster?

Frankenstein is the name of a scientist who tried to create a person. He worked tirelessly to accomplish this feat. It backfired on him when he created a monster. Most people think that Frankenstein is the name of the monster, Frankenstein is the scientist's last name. Although many people have come to believe that the monster's name is Frankenstein, the monster's creator is Victor Frankenstein. Victor Frankenstein is the main character in the novel Frankenstein by Mary Shelly. Not the moster as is popular belief. Victor created the moster, who remains nameless. Shelley later stated that the monsters name was Adam. Frankenstein is a monster that was made up from the body parts and organs of the dead, by Dr. Frankenstein himself. When the monster was complete Dr. Frankenstein shouted "It's Alive! It's Alive!" when actually Frankenstein was never really alive, because if you look over the five characteristics of life Frankenstein dose not have all of them so he could never have actually been alive. Frankenstein is the last name of the scientist who created the monster. The monster is never given a name. It can be assumed that Frankenstein is a fitting name for the monster, since he is, in a way, Victor's offspring, therefore should share his last name. However, nowhere in the novel does the monster get referred to as "Frankenstein." Also, the "it's alive" bit is true only of the movie. In the book, Victor runs away in fear when the monster comes to life.
