I believe it is evident that by the end of the novel Frankenstein by Dean Koontz. The monster is the human and Frankenstein is the monster, figuratively speaking of course, because that by their actions and the feelings that they deal with, the true character of each "character" is shown.
Frankenstein purposefully created the creature to feed his own curiosity and satisfaction, then abandoned it and expressed no responsibility to what he had done, and through this expresses how truly monstrous he really is. This is especially shown when he even refuses to help him live a better life without misery and without being alone. No, he leaves him to fend and survive on his own in a world that despises him, and in turn, shows the monster that Frankenstein truly is.
The monster shows that deep down he is no different than any other person despite his outer appearance. He shows that he has a heart, feelings, emotions, and in my opinion a soul. And that soul in the end being not nearly as dark as that of Frankenstein's, due to the fact he is only reacting to how he was treated and it is not his fault that he is going through such misery, it is Frankenstein's responsibility that he refuses to accept.
