Part of Frankenstein's rejection of his creation is the fact that he does not give him a name. Instead, Frankenstein's creation is referred to by words such as "wretch", "monster", "creature", "demon", "devil", "fiend", and "it". When Frankenstein converses with the creature, he addresses him as "vile insect", "abhorred monster", "fiend", "wretched devil", and "abhorred devil".

The "monster" is just the victim in this scene. Dr. Frankenstein was the real monster when he created it.

i think the real argument is that what makes Frankenstein the monster is that he brings a life into this world but doesn't provide it any guidance. he refuses to be a good father. the sea captain even finds himself quite charmed by how thoughtful, gentle, and caring the unnamed creature is despite his upbringing and decides the northwest passage isn't worth him dooming his crew based on his philosophical discussion with the creature

An abusive parent is still a parent. Unfortunately. The Creature doesn't have to keep the name, but should be the heir to whatever is left of the family fortune and fortress.

Sounds like a pro choice reading of the novel? Or we shouldn't overestimate the meaning of biological parents
