Could it be argued that The Creature is actually a figment of Frankenstein's imagination? So, sort of a representation of his 'id' that he feels guilty about and so creates this 'monster' as an excuse for it??

Maybe it's his alter-ego maybe? I wouldn't go that deep with ID and Freud unless you are super confident with understanding Freudian Psychology.
If you are analysing Frankenstein at a psychoanalytical point of view, then you can argue your point

I think the physical effects of the monster rule out most interpretations of the monster being a figment of his psyche, but you're on the right lines with the idea of him being a double and the alternative side. You might be more on the right idea there with something like Dr Jekyll & Mr Hyde :P

Regards the other 'id' point, many critics have argued this so you could research that.
I hope this helps.

You need to back up your argument with the text and really there is nothing in the text to support your argument about the monster being a figment of Frankenstein's imagination.

ah okay, I see
I just think that arguments surrounding the novel are really interesting as we looked at loads in English Lit
