Was Frankenstein's monster an abomination?

We come to recognize the Monster as human, or at least to some extent worthy of our sympathy, which is a characteristic relationship we have towards humans. Yet there is something objectively inhuman about him, which is why he is called a monster. The word 'monster' can include 'one who inspires horror', which is not exactly the same thing as fear. In this sense the creation of the Monster is presented fictionally as an abomination, because Dr Frankenstein has created (unwittingly perhaps) a creature with a certain claim to humanity, yet which is monstrously incapable of living a human life. This is the 'horror' of the book: not that the Monster is terrible, but that he is somehow also human.
