The novel Frankenstein addresses a couple of themes, one of which is the Nature vs Nurture controversy. Mary Shelley sides with the nurture side of the argument: that people are not what their genes dictate but how they have been trained. Because Dr. Frankenstein deserts his creation as the moment of it 'birth' and because the monster encounters rejection in all his attempts to establish family and friends it turns hostile.
