Destiny In Frankenstein

The path of DESTINY

Destiny is a word of meaning, “The events that will necessarily happen to a particular person or thing in the future” (Oxford Dictionary). The origin of this word is from old French destinee and in Latin destinata meaning ‘make firm, establish’. As I have just given you a piece of information on destiny, you may think it is just a word but you see it’s not. Destiny is just more than a word it’s, an imperative meaning for hope and guidance. Others of course will see it as a word because they have no belief on their written paths of destiny. God created us and just didn’t leave on earth without a purpose; without a manual to live our lives. He created us with a purpose, proposing us with our own destiny. With my own perspective, I will be explaining the knowledge and belief I have for destiny.

We all have our own paths to follow, our own choices to make, but are we really choosing them? Or are they chosen for us already? People ask this, but never find a straight answer. Most rely on destiny because it’s the only thing they can grasp onto. Sure, God gave us free will but that doesn’t mean we don’t have a destiny. We all have a

destiny including you and I, even our names and the day we were born is a destiny. The way we live our lives and the turbulent scenarios we all carry in life is our destiny.
The literature I am reading for school “Frankenstein”, written by C.B.

and M.S. A book based on rash decisions made by a scientist who created life; a man, may be an example of destiny. Victor Frankenstein attempts to create life which in the case, succeeds. After creating life, the monster “Frankenstein”, wonders if it was destiny that brought him to life or if it was Victors destiny to have crated him, as so Victor Frankenstein himself wonders and asks himself the same question. In the book that is quoted “Destiny was too potent, and her immutable laws had decreed my utter and terrible destruction”, (Frankenstein). I believe that Victor Frankenstein’s statement explains that you cannot change your destiny; you can’t defeat it. Victor Frankenstein believes he is being punished by the laws of

destiny.
I think when people accomplish something in life they believe it was destiny that lead them to that point. Getting married, people believe it was destiny that led both of those two persons together. I think when something good happens to someone in life the affect is causes is pure happiness and a stronger belief. But when turbulent and horrid life scenarios happen people tend to hate their destiny which isn’t bad. We are HUMAN after all. People also need to realize destiny is practically a law it’s something you can’t change or give up on. We all have our own path and we can’t change it.
I think a lot of people carry hope for destiny; I now I do. Destiny influences us to believe we all may be destined for something great or we might as be horrifically scared we might die or have a horrid life. The laws of destiny are very powerful and I believe no one can change that power but only from the big man upstairs. So basically, in my own perspective and maybe yours as well, we’ve learned that destiny is a great power; a great fortune. It’s something that guides all of us in life. We all have to accept and be grateful as well, that we all have our own unique destiny upon us. I know I am.
