Recommended: How appearance affects social

When the Creature was first created he was childlike. He had to learn how to walk, talk and how to understand others. He wanted to explore and experience life, but as soon as he went out to view the world, he instantly got rejected. His loneliness grew due to the lack of interaction with other.
He began to say things like “Satan had his companions, fellow devils, to admire and encourage, but I am solitary and abhorred .” (Pg. 118) as well as “But it was all a dream; no Eve soothed my sorrows, nor shared my thoughts; I was alone.” (Pg 119). The lyrics from Akon’s song Lonely reflect on how the creature was feeling. He felt lonely and needed a companion. The main chorus in Lonely repeats “Lonely, I'm Mr. Lonely I have nobody for my own. Oh, I'm so lonely...”. Akon sings that he has nobody to call his own, which was what the creature believed and felt. “Shall each man find a wife for his bosom, and each beast have his mate, and I be alone?” (Pg. 155) …show more content…

These...people to whom I go have never seen me, and know little of me...I am an outcast in the world for ever. “(Pg. 121). The creature was an outcast to those around him because of the way he looked. When the creature was born, he never thought that humanity would be so cruel to him. The fourth verse, “Never thought that I'd be alone”, relates to what the Creature is thinking and feeling; he never thought that he’d be

  • Loss Of Humanity In Frankenstein

    1101 Words  | 3 Pages

    The creature who has been leading a solitary existence by observing the Delacey family, exclaims “The more I saw of them, the greater my desire to claim their protection and kindness; my heart yearned to be known and loved by these amiable creatures” (Shelley 112). Being isolated from most of society, the creature’s only contact with mankind is through observing the Delaceys. Unlike any base monster, the creature has “yearning” that originates in his heart. Because the creature relates with the Delaceys as “amiable creatures” his desire for companionship with them is brought forth, further distinguishing him as distinctly human. Miserable and lonely, the creature desires to also “claim their protection and kindness” which demonstrates how the creature desires even more than just mere companionship but also to be loved. Most importantly, the creature desires acceptance into their family as one of their own. Although he observed the family, the creature took a radical and somewhat desperate choice to abduct Victor’s younger brother: “If I could therefore seize him, and educate him as my companion and friend, I should not be so desolate”. (Shelley 121). Such extremes show to what lengths the creature was willing to go to gain companionship and acceptance. Without companionship, the creature cannot survive in happiness, but he yearns for it and cannot do without it. Once again, the human need for companionship comes to the forefront of the creature’s purpose and endeavors and he is not fulfilled without it. Far from being an emotionless, brutish monster, the creature need for a friend aligns it to mankind’s basic

  • What Does John Locke's Theory Of Being Born As A Blank Slate?

    ...all human kind sinned against me?" (Shelley 160) The creature also believes that society treated him poorly and he blames all of his mistakes on society. Though what happens in the book is a fantasy, Mary Shelley’s message applies to the real world. For example, if a child is abused by his parents, he might have a harder time connecting to people. People who are abused are more likely to abuse their own children. The creature is never treated well by any humans so it is hard for him to treat them well back. John Locke and Jean Jacque Rousseau explain that if humans are treated well than there is a higher chance that they will turn out to be good, and if treated poorly then there is a chance for evil. (Gale Reference Library) Mary Shelley wants people to give people who might seem evil a chance because the people around them changed them to make them who they are.

Despite his rough start in his new life, the creature experiences nature with no harsh emotions. “[The creature]... could distinguish, nothing; but feeling pain... Soon a gentle light and gave [the creature] a sensation of pleasure. [He] started and beheld a radiant form rise from among the trees. [He] gazed with a kind wonder” (Shelley 100).

But the creatures is distracted and in awe of the sunrise, a symbol of new hope and new start. Because of his hideous appearance, the creature receives negative reactions. “[The creature] entered... the children shrieked and... the women fainted. The whole village was roused: some fled, some attacked [him], until, grievously bruised by stones and many other kinds of missile weapons [the creature] escaped...

  • The Creature as Child in Mary Shelley's Frankenstein

    1105 Words  | 3 Pages

    These parallels between the creature and a developing child help to explain many of the mysteries of the book. As we see, the creature goes on a terrible killing spree. There are two reasons for this. First, the creature desires revenge for its isolation. But it seems that the creature is also not aware of its own strength - it is easy for the creature to accidentally commit a murder. What two-year-old would not dream of this power? The creature's identification with mythological figures has some fantastic aspects - children fantasize incessantly. This makes sense. The creature, being new to the living world, is chronologically a child - physically strange as it might be, we can only expect it to act its age.
