Here's why the novel is called "Frankenstein":
* The Monster's Identity: The monster, though nameless in the novel, is often referred to as "Frankenstein" by other characters. This is because he is the creature created by Victor Frankenstein.
* The Story's Focus: The novel primarily focuses on the story of Victor Frankenstein and his creation. While the monster is a central character, the story is told from Victor's perspective and revolves around his actions and consequences.
* Emphasis on the Creator: The title emphasizes the role of Victor Frankenstein as the creator, highlighting the themes of responsibility, ambition, and the consequences of scientific hubris.
The title "Frankenstein" has become synonymous with the monster itself, but it's important to remember that it refers to the creator, not the creature.
