Frankenstein was interested in natural science. He went to a University and met some professors who major natural science. Being close with them, he thought to make a creature. I think the worst reason to make a creature is that Frankenstein tried to become greater than nature. However for human, it is impossible to do it. Even if he does it, it would cause harm to him.
In this story on page 20, he says "I had no supernatural honors". I think it means that the creature is too ugly or strange. Frankenstein mentioned that he is not afraid of people's appearance although they look strange or ugly. However, Frankenstein gets afraid of the appearance of the monster. Monster is made of dead person's body. By this, I think that the monster's appearance is too strange even Frankenstein got afraid of him.
Also another part of the story, he said "Learn from me, at least by example, how dangerous is knowledge and how much happier is that man believes his native town to be the world than he who tries to become greater than his nature will allow". I think that Frankenstein wants to tell that knowing more than other people could be dangerous like him. He was too smart and knowledgeable that he made a creature that it is impossible to make. From this part, I think that he is regretting of making the creature that he made. Also, he is trying to tell that living in an ordinary way is better than living in uncommon life as him.
