Gregory's Server@backupbear In the novel Victor did give a damn and cared about the consequences. His one monstrous act was to reject his creation. The image of the mad scientist ignoring consequences was created in the first movie adaptation which is the basis of all other movie adaptations and spin offs.

@stekopf @backupbear Yes. That’s the start of the rejection. The climax is when the creature tells Victor that Victor should think of the creature as Adam, but sees him as Lucifer. (Another deviation in the movie was to make the creature mute rather than articulate.) |

From chapter 5: "The different accidents of life are not so changeable as the feelings of human nature. I had worked hard for nearly two years, for the sole purpose of infusing life into an inanimate body. For this I had deprived myself of rest and health. I had desired it with an ardour that far exceeded moderation; but now that I had finished, the beauty of the dream vanished, and breathless horror and disgust filled my heart."
From hubris to self-pity in one paragraph.
