The Creature (otherwise known under various names) is a man who has been brought back from death, reanimated by the medical craft of Victor Frankenstein. The only thing that is his own is his soul, but even he questions whether he really has one. He is Victor's first creation, his "first born". After experiencing the cruelty and mercy of man the Creature only wants one thing in this world, love. Someone like him that he can share his life with and finally find happiness that he so desperately longs for.
