Society was not accepting a single monster because of his appearance can you imagine how they will react to seeing two monsters around.

Watson.
First of all, I love your design. I agree with you that Frankenstein is a soup of emotions. The way Frankenstein felt about his creation was monstrous rather than his creation itself. The creation only wanted to be seen normal and be accepted by society.
