Characters
Victor Frankenstein
The monster
Elizabeth-Victor's cousin and eventual wife. She is killed by the monster shortly after she and Victor are wed.
Clerval-Victor's best friend, killed by the monster
William-Monster's first victim
Charley-Victim of the monster
Justine-blamed for the death of William
Captain Walton-Captain of the ship on which Victor is continuing the chase of his creation
The Delaceys-A family which the monster watches, and hopes to befriend. The family however, upon beholding his appearance, were consumed with terror and shunned him. It can be argued that this particular event was the turning point in the monster's life, the point at which he first contemplates murdur. Indeed, after the family departs, he burns their former dwelling down with noticable vigor.

Possible themes
Humanity's inhuman nature-It is interesting to note that before the creature is shunned, he is the picture of benevolence, a being who, although fairly clueeless about the ways of the world, does not wish to hurt anyone or anything. Thusly, one can infer that the monster's descent into evil is created not by his own madness, but rather by the judgemental nature of man.

Playing God-This is one of the more obvious themes in the book. Victor plays God simply by creating the monster, and the monster in turn plays God when he selects his victims (ergo, he is choosing who will live and who will die, based solely on his hatred of his creator). Although the monster may have justificaiton for the murdurs, he certainly does not have the authority.
