There is no one correct answer, but all good answers will have these things in common:
An introduction that tells the reader that three main reasons will be considered
Use of reason indicators in the body of the essay
Use of signposts in the body to direct the reader
Use of a position indicator in the conclusion
Sensible connecting words and phrases throughout, which flesh the essay out without distracting the reader
Hopefully you had something like this:
[There are three main reasons to believe that] Frankenstein becomes a monster, while his monster is more human than its creator.
[First] Frankenstein does not care for his creation. [We can see this because] he abandons the monster. [Further evidence is that] he is horrified by the monster's appearance.
[Second] the monster wishes for companionship. [This follows from the fact that] he wants to be part of the family he observes. [This is also apparent because] he wants Frankenstein to make him a mate.
[Finally] the monster shows empathy. [We know this since] he stops stealing from the family, giving them wood instead. [In addition to this] he empathises with the young man's lover.
[It is therefore clear that] Frankenstein becomes a monster, while his monster is more human than its creator.
