Frankenstein centres around two memorable characters - Victor Frankenstein, an ambitious scientist, and the creature which he creates, known simply as The Monster.
Many of the key characters in the novel are part of the Frankenstein family or connected to the family in some way. This contrasts with the Monster who has no natural family or friends and whose horrific appearance makes it difficult to form any sort of relationship.
