In the 1954 film ,On the Waterfront, Terry Malloy is a prize-winning boxer turned longshoreman. Like the Creature, Terry hurts people. He works for the biggest mob organization in his community and usually sets up people's deaths. In one particular scene, Terry is talking to his brother, Charlie. Charlie is sent to kill Terry and at the knowledge of this, Terry decides to be honest. He said, " You don't understand. I coulda had class. I coulda been a contender. I coulda been somebody, instead of a bum, which is what I am, let's face it. It was you, Charlie. " He is explaining to his brother that because of his lack of protection and guidance, he didn't amount to anything and he had no choice but to become a monster to survive. The Creature blames his creator, Dr.Frankenstein, for the deaths that he later causes. By creating him as an outsider with no other options, hopelessness and anger began to dwell within.
