Frankenstein's monster (also called the monster or Frankenstein's creature) is a fictional character that first appeared in Mary Shelley's novel, ‘Frankenstein, or The Modern Prometheus’. Prometheus was a god from Greek mythology who stole fire from the other gods of Mount Olympus and gave it to humans. Victor Frankenstein is the Prometheus figure. In popular culture, the creature is often erroneously referred to as "Frankenstein", but in the novel the creature has no name. He does call himself, when speaking to his creator, Victor Frankenstein, the "Adam of your labours".

As depicted by Shelley, the monster is a sensitive, emotional creature whose only aim is to share his life with another sentient being like himself. The novel portrays him as intelligent and literate, having read ‘Paradise Lost’, ‘Plutarch's Lives’, and ‘The Sorrows of Young Werther’. He is driven by despair and loneliness to acts of cruelty and murder.
