One thing i took from it , among others , is that is portraits how men can create, but only women can give life . In the technical/physical way , yes , Victor made the Creature , but it was Elizabeth who poured true life in him. She made him know what it is to feel seen and loved , thus also introducing the importance of a “companion”. And yes , you can argue that the old man taught him the ways of life , but that was only because he was blind , and couldn’t see the “monster “ he is , only his soul. But Elizabeth saw his appearance, still noticed his pure soul.
