Many people will think many different things about Frankenstein's monster, I find that the most common thought is that the monster is the compilation of body parts sewn together, and reanimated by lightning. But I have a entirely different opinion!
I think that the true monster is Victor Frankenstein himself. I find that his work is dark and disturbing, can you believe that he reanimated the body parts of those who are long gone.

Scientists and Responsibility
I feel that scientists wished to take part in the creation of Nuclear Weapons, because they wanted to live the ultimate human dream, becoming famous amongst their colleagues. They designed weapons that could be used as a massive destructor, and continued to dream big. But all was not well, I think that they realized what they had done many people could be killed with the creations they created! I think that dreams of fame, lead scientists to create something terrible.
Frankenstein's Creation in Images
Although I do not understand the question exactly, I will attempt to answer it to the best of my ability. I think that in the picture on the left, Frankenstein's monster is shown as just a man that was revived using electricity, as-well, it seems to show the aspect of creation. It shows Dr. Frankenstein in the process of re animating the corpse. In the picture on the right, it depicts the monster as a vile, rotting corpse, with different seams where parts were sown together.
What is a monster?
A monster is a creature unfathomably ugly, with the mind of a demon, attempting to slaughter anything that moves. For examples of monsters, read Frankenstein, Dracula, and watch Van Helsing.
But, a monster could also be someone who attempts to achieve a disturbing goal, such as REANIMATE THE DEAD!

Letter 1 reply.
Dearest Walton,
I am glad to hear that you have arrived safely. But I would prefer if you returned home to me! I am worried about you. I fear that I will never see you again. When you return home, you must tell me all about what you experienced upon your expedition. I do not have much more to say to you, so I shall end this letter with a simple thought: When you return, I must give this letter to you personally, because, you will not get it if you are on a boat.
