You are fighting an uphill battle cause Frankenstein is not a sympathetic character. I would argue that by pinning all of the blame on doctor Frankenstein they are ignoring the personhood and agency of the monster and he is not a puppet but rather a person with a personality and humanity that needs to be acknowledged and respected in the proceedings. It’s a twisted take, but I’m not sure your accusers will be able to counter that so quickly.

How can you read the novel without sympathising with Frankenstein? The whole story is about how he tries to do something huge and then everyone he loves gets brutally murdered
