Difference between knowledge and wisdom: Knowledge is knowing that Frankenstein wasn't the monster. Wisdom is knowing that Frankenstein was the monster.

One could argue that the monster in the story was Frankenstein, the doctor, who defied nature and god by creating life from dead parts.

Also, one could argue that I have difficulty understanding other people's speech.

It makes sense for the monster to take his father’s name and thus also be a Frankenstein. So the monster is Frankenstein and Frankenstein is also the monster.

I'd say, having read the book, they're both monsters, of a different sort. One is a monster by arrogance, the other is doomed to be a monster.
