God's beauty (Frankenstein)

"God in pity made man beautiful and alluring, after his own image; but my form is a filthy type of your's, more horrid from its very resemblance." (99)

Victor is a man of image. He makes it clear to his creature that one of the reasons he is so frightening is because of how he looks. Once the creature is exposed to Victor's idea of a perfect image, it lowers his confidence level as it would for a real human being. Although Mary Shelley refers to Victor's creation as a monster, he has feelings and strong emotions as well.
