Thanks, guys. Appreciate the explanations.

I was thinking along the same lines as you, Lee. The first words of the Creature, is when he looks in the mirror and describes himself as 'beautiful'; almost giving the impression he is naming himself Beautiful; which I also embraced as him describing his creation as "good", mirroring the Biblical story of God's creation, "and He saw that is was good".

Of course the way in which the Creature says the short two lines is critical. The way I heard it was, he's calling Victor, "beautiful Victor". Then with subtle, exhausted, painful, quite resolve, he says, "Beautiful." I find the intention difficult to determine in the context of the whole scene and film. My best take is that he's saying he was beautiful, and was supposed to stay beautiful; but Victor failed keep him that way. And by beautiful, he doesn't just mean on the outside.
