Answer: d. because he is obsessed with creating a living being.

Although the creature Frankenstein created is usually considered the monster in this story, many interpretations argue that it is Frankenstein who should really be considered monstrous. This is mostly because Frankenstein is obsessed with creating a living being, a task that is usually reserved to God only, according to the novel. Therefore, his arrogance and desperation at doing something that is not meant to correspond to humans makes him an unlikeable and terrifying character, and for some, even a monster.
