brutal murder ofand his subsequent framing of Justine is a sign that he's becoming more human
yet no less monstrous. As the Monster starts to learn more about the world, he realizes just
what merry havoc he can cause, especially to those who cross him. As the Monster isn't human, he
is beyond the bounds of society, with all its norms, laws, and values. Under the circumstances,
then, it makes perfect sense for him to commit an act of murder and have someone else take the

The Monster is motivated primarily by revenge. He's grown to

Frankenstein is the only man alive who can do this for him, the Monster spares his life,
choosing instead to get at his creator through his nearest and dearest. In killing William and
framing Justine for the crime, the Monster hopes to intimidate Frankenstein into doing what he
wants.
