As Frankie arose from the chair, from which he laid, he becomes the Noble Savage. He was looking left and right for his creator, but when he looked ahead, he realized he was alone ---in the dark--- with society.
When Victor ran in fear, he left behind a sweet monster in need of a guardian. Victor said “… I will cause fear”. Victor caused fear in himself; he ran out because of how Frankie looked, he didn’t care about what he was capable of doing. Victor didn’t realize that all Frankie wanted was someone to procure. But instead, he left society to assail him.
A noble savage is a character in a Romantic literature ---like Mary Shelly’s Frankenstein--- who embodies the concept of an idealized outsider who has not yet been corrupted by society.
