Best Answer

She wanted to convey 'objective opinions', from the doctor's pov and from the monster's pov. She does this by having the main frame of the story being that of an uninvolved ship's captain, with the doctor's and the monster's being subordinate to his. One of the intentions of the novel is to investigate the old controversy between nature and nurture. Neither the doctor nor the monster are inherently evil but are the products of their up-bringing.
