Recommended: Frankenstein character development

Victor’s father’s death would be tougher on Victor than William’s, Henry’s, and Elizabeth’s death because they communicated more emotionally with each other then other characters. “What then become of me? I know not; I lost sensation, and chains and darkness were the only objects that pressed upon me.” (Shelley, 189) This quote depicts the lack of sensation Victor faces after the death of his father. The magistrate’s doesn’t believe Victor’s story about the creature. I do not think Victor would have been able to Justine because the magistrate would react similarly. The creature gives Victor clues in tree bark and stone leading him to the creature. “Again do I vow vengeance: again do I devote thee, miserable fiend, to torture and death.

    After abandoning the Creature, it vows “eternal hatred and vengeance to all mankind” which ends up being in direct correlation with Victor’s life (Shelley 143). The Creature is able to carry out this deed by not directly attacking his creator and abandoner, but the one’s of his creator’s affections. The Creature not only makes Victor feel pain through the killings, but also through the guilt that Victor experiences since he knows that he (Victor) is the reason that all the people are now dead. After all the killings had happened, “yet one duty” remained for Victor, to silence the Creature and all feelings of sorrow rooted from death (Shelley 176). This was Victor’s act of revenge in which only one of the two could live while the other was dead. Victor was so influenced by all the death he had experienced, that his revenge took him to his deathbed. The ending years of Victor’s life had been spent focusing and caring for the matters concerning the Creature and himself, which differs of how Zeus felt about his revenge, as it was only of current importance and had no impact on his

Frankenstein is Mary Shelly’s “god” figure, then dr. Frankenstein is a very irresponsible and carefree “god.” He is very irresponsible because he does not look after his creation.

  • Theme Of Empathy In Frankenstein

    1300 Words  | 3 Pages

    “Revenge alone endowed [him] with strength and composure; it modeled [his] feelings, and allowed [him] to be calculating and calm” (145). Victor gained new purpose and even on his deathbed holds to the principle that he is justified in desiring the death of his enemy. Moment before his death he turns to Captain Robert Walton and says, “I feel myself justified in desiring the death of my adversary. During these last days I have been occupied in examining my past conduct; nor do I find it blamable” (156). He even begins to lose the small amount of compassion he had for the creature’s struggle. When visiting his family’s graves he cries that, “they were dead, and I lived; their murder also lived” (145). Previously in the novel he blamed himself for the deaths of Mathew, Justine, and Henry, claiming to be their murderer and lamenting on the evil he had set forth into the world. Victor now places the weight of these deaths solely on the monster’s shoulders and believes it is his god given burden to cleanse the world of this evil. He had been “assured that the shades of [his] murdered friends heard and approved [his] devotion… rage choked [him]”(146). The death of the monster would not even weigh on his conscience since it is god’s

    “It's alive, it's moving, it's alive, it's alive, it's alive, it's alive, IT'S ALIVE!” Yeah, that’s the most common quote that comes to mind when someone makes mention of Frankenstein. You almost instantly begin to think of the colossal beast rising to life, as the crackling lightning bolt struck through the sky. While many people are familiar with Frankenstein’s story as I just told it, the original Frankenstein story, written by Mary Shelley in 1818, featured none of this. No “it’s alive” quote. No flash of lightning. No bolts in his neck. He didn’t even have the famous flat-top haircut. The original version of Frankenstein’s birth – as written by Shelley – went like this:
