Did Frankenstein burn down the cottage On purpose?

In Mary Shelley's "Frankenstein," the creature does not burn down the cottage on purpose. Instead, he seeks revenge against Victor Frankenstein for creating him and then abandoning him. The destruction of the cottage occurs after the creature is rejected by society and feels immense despair and anger, leading to his destructive actions. Thus, while the creature does cause the fire, it is driven by a complex mix of emotions rather than a premeditated intention to burn it down.
