Who is the unfriendly professor in Frankenstein?

There isn't a single "unfriendly professor" in Mary Shelley's *Frankenstein*. The story's main antagonist is Victor Frankenstein, the scientist who creates the monster.

Here's why it's important to understand this:

* Victor is the one who acts unkindly: While the monster is portrayed as monstrous due to his appearance, Victor is the one who abandons him, leading to the monster's feelings of isolation and resentment.

* The Monster's Perspective: The story is told from the monster's perspective, allowing readers to understand his motivations and the ways he was wronged by Victor.

There might be some professors who are portrayed as unfriendly or uncaring, but none are the true antagonist.
