Dr. Frankenstein was not innocent, he purposely set out to create his monster.

Frankenstein's monster on the other hand, was innocent because he was brought up by nature and not nurture (family). He has to fend (manage without help) and learn himself he soon learnt why people hated him.

However, the issue of free will is involved. Is the monster (the one acting) responsible for the death? After all he decided to do it. Victor had no dominion over the monster and he even willed it to stop. He is, in this approach, guilty also.

In a word. The monster did commit the crime of murder multiple times but I do not think he should be held responcible. He was neglected by Victor and therefore Victor should be held responsible.

In my opinion, yes. He created his creature and then refused to take responsibility for it, even the deaths that were caused by the creature can be traced back to him because he had the power to stop it. Frankenstein is a classic case of over-reaching and unable to handle the consequences.

No! The whole theme of the story is how obsessions lead to destruction.

Educating Rita-how does rita develop a relationship with Frank?

Frank brings up Mary Shellys 'Frankenstein' in conversation, which is interesting as the story has some relevance in what has happened within the play. Frankenstein's 'monster' starts out as innocent and uneducated as a child, but escapes and experiences the world, further educating himself until he becomes as proficient in the spoken word and cognitive thinking as Frankenstein himself. In a way this has happened with franks 'creation', Rita. She began innocent, and with frank guiding the first part of the journey transformed herself into and educated person in the middle class. However by doing this she distances herself from her initial 'creator'. This also bears relevance to Frankenstein, as Frankensteins monster grows to hate his creator for all the misery he has been placed through in the educating process.
