He never seems to realize the possibilities of error or of the effects it will have on his life and society. Without any of these considerations, the creation takes place and Victor takes full responsibility upon himself when he turns "loose into the world a depraved wretch whose delight is in carnage and misery" (61).
Just as Victor lacks the correct motives, the creature lacks the physical beauty needed to live up to Victor's dreams. In creating the being, Victor decides "to make the being of a gigantic stature" (42), with yellow skin, hair "of a lustrous black, watery eyes, shriveled complexion, and straight black lips" (42). Instead of starting small and creating something he will be able to handle, Victor dreams only of the greatness such a being will have. As the creature takes his first breath and opens his eyes, Victor finds even himself afraid of the physical appearance of the being: "When I saw the filthy mass that moved and talked, my heart sickened and my feelings were altered to those of horror and hatred" (132). When the creature returns to Victor later in the novel, he addresses Victor and points all fingers at him saying, "Why did you form a monster so hideous that even you turned from me in disgust? God, in pity, made man beautiful and alluring, after his own image, but my form is a filthy type of yours, more horrid even from the very resemblance" (p115). The monster uses God to question why, like God, did Victor not make something marvelous as to be able to admire the work of his hands. In this sincere search for identity, the monster finds only Victor's irresponsibility.
However, Victor's irresponsible actions do not stop there. In creating the monster, Victor never looks ahead to what may happen after he creates him. He never dreams of needing to give him love or care; he only sees the present task of completing the being. So when the monster is finished, Victor leaves this "newborn" to fend for himself.
