However, these possessions and goals did not make him happy as he thought they would. Furthermore, deception was a key factor which influenced him to become a villain. Megamind had thought that he was destined to be evil and that his fate was set out. In addition, when Megamind accidentally reveals he was playing Bernard when he was with Roxanne, she ends up rejecting him out of anger. Therefore, deception also brought Megamind lots of
His intentions are to live with her away from society but Frankenstein has trouble believing she will comply. “She, who in all probability was to become a thinking and reasoning animal, might refuse to comply with a compact made before her creation(Shelley 202).” This patriarchal attitude would be fulfilled in Metropolis through the Maria bot. She brought destruction to man, that is the workers, through leadership. An allusion to Eve is not too far from the scope of the reader’s imagination, especially with the many references to Milton’s Paradise Lost. Eve brings sin in the world, the destruction of the perfection of God’s creation. Similarly, Joh Fredersen creation, the city of Metropolis is ruined after the Maria bot leads the workers(Adam) into destroying the heart machine and flooding the town. Women are to be feared in both societies, for they have the power to lead men to destruction. This does not explain the provocative clothing worn by the elite women in the beginning scene. They fail to interest the men in a later scene. The Maria bot is sent to entertain the upper class men so they do not interfere in Joh’s plans. She develops her own feminist socialism but is defeated by the patriarchal society(Clark). After the Maria bot has achieved its purpose, it is destroyed and dehumanized. Unlike other robots, cyborgs have certain characteristics that convey humanity, although they usually lack free will. Maria bot is exceptional in the respect that she develops a mission of her own, to destroy the patriarchal forces that keep her
This archetype shows the monster for who he really is: a monster. This quote shows the villain archetype because, being the monster that he is, he kills every person Victor Frankenstein ever loved. Being the evil villain, his goal is to destroy Victor’s journey, which he successfully does.
When he offers his unconditional help by saving a young girl from drowning, a villager, frightened by his appearance, shoots him. As a result, he decides to give up any hope for a possible reconciliation with the human race; all he wishes for from that moment on is another being like him, but of opposite sex, to keep him company somewhere far away from civilization. But the only person who could have made it come true, his creator, Victor Frankenstein, denies even this last wish. The sequence of events that he had to come through proves to be too much to take for the deserted creature. His kindness and innocence degrade, leaving room only for vengeance.
Neo will have to make a decision to either save himself or his friend and finally seeing the truth of who he truly is by going back in his own dark cave. Morpheus is caught by the machines and Neo goes back to save him and during the rescue mission Neo says, “ There is no spoon” (Matrix). He is figuring out that everything in the Matrix is an illusion and being able to bend the spoon he is able to bend the world thus being able to change the system. He 's able to dodge the bullets because he knows there isn 't any bullets and is able to move fast like the agents and push certain body limits. When he was chased by the the agents he got shot multiple times and dies in the Matrix. During this time, Trinity was speaking to him in the real world saying that she loved him. When Neo heard this in the real world he discovered that he wasn 't dead. Neo body was safe in the real world and it 's all in the mind. In Descartes “ I think; therefore, I am.” The mind is stronger than the body and him believing that he was able to survive. Neo had good intentions to help Morpheus, he walked the path that he was suppose to take and learned that he is the one to help destroy the
exemplifies his lust for knowledge which leads to his creation of the monster, his personal
The creature takes the souls of the ones Victor loves the most. Victors main purpose in life is to protect his loved ones and family, once they had been taken, all optimism is lost. His soul purpose now is to destroy the one being who took it all away from him. Loving nature and all his surroundings, Victor Frankenstein, is a young, eager man earlier on in his life. Eager for knowledge and understanding difficult topics. Near the ending of the book, Victor even states, “if you had known me as I once was, you would not recognize me in this state of degration”(229).Victor wants to bring back the life of a human, and so he does. The creature, however is far from what he expected. Victor believes the monster is an evil, wretched creature. Slowly ones Victor loves dearly, die before him. All of these horrifying deaths were because of Victor, done by his own two hands. And so he says, “I murdered [them]. William, Justine, and Henry—they all died by my hands”(201). Victor knows if he hadn't created such a monster, none of this would be happening. His life would be filled with joy, he would appreciate nature and the things that surround him. With all his loved ones gone, he begins to feel lonely. Victor said he would die trying before letting the monster win. “[I] prayed for death. But revenge kept me alive; I dared not die and leave my adversary in being”(219). Victor wanted to die, but didn't
The monster, enraged by the fact that Victor destroyed his female companion, kills Henry and Elizabeth. These deaths causes Victor to fall deeply into despair; his hatred for the monster and his deep grief grows until it completely controls his personality. Victor’s id took hold of his decisions in the form of revenge. Victor states that, “revenge kept me alive; I dared not die and leave my adversary in being.”(171). His id made the decision that Victor should hunt down the monster and kill him at all costs. Without thinking rationally or about the dangers he rushed after the monster into a land of ice and snow. As he chased after the monster he didn’t think rationally or use his superego and ego. His id had overpowered his two other psychic zones and this caused his personality to be unhealthy and unbalanced.Watson was with Victor on his deathbed and he wrote, “His voice became fainter as he spoke; and at length, exhausted by his efforts he sunk into silence...he pressed my hand feebly, and his eyes closed for ever.”(182). Victor unhealthy psychic zones and the stress he put on his body during his chase lead to his
...drive take over him and his life. Victor's motivation was for his own pride and power. We realize that Victor is actually the monster himself. Victor breaks boundaries on life, violates morality, manipulates human nature, and he changes history.
Big Guy share his self-destructive behaviour as an open invitation for the narrator’s guidance and support. She is able to offer this to him through simply being present in his life, she does not judge or ridicule his behaviour but is just there experiencing it with him. Such as when she plays into his attempt to crack his teeth by drinking ice water and coffee, she is also chewing on ice in an act of support. This is her first acknowledgement of Big Guy’s feelings towards his mother’s suicide. As well, when she talks about Big Guy’s fathers approach to the suicide, “his father had added, “And what’s more, the Cubs lost” (153), the inclination to support Big Guy strengthens, as she relates it to how he addresses situations, “matters large and small” (153), from then on. This reinforces the lack of support and significance his father is employing on his mother’s suicide. These examples show the narrators devotion and understanding of Big Guy as a whole. The road to recovery begins as she allows him to lovingly razor X’s onto her mosquito bites without question. This acknowledges the truest form of trust and consents Big Guy to let go and the two to connect, “We take the length of the couch, squirming like maggots” (164). This then signifies their re-birth, “If it’s
The Monster attempted to coexist with humanity, dealing with violence and abuse, only to be rejected and alone, much like how Satan is rejected by God. He is hoping that the wicked nature of the humans was not common between them all, until he meets the family which sways his opinions about the race. This fruit of hope soon turns rotten when he decides to befriend them only to be rejected again saying “from that moment on I declared everlasting war against the species” (Shelly 124) after their reaction. It was at this moment where he lost his innocence, seeing the truth that all humans are violent, only to make himself more lonely, which is seen in Paradise Lost from Satans rejection from God after they were defeated. Satan is a fallen angel,
After Victor destroys his work on the female monster meant to ease the monster's solitude, the monster is overcome with suffering and sadness. These feelings affected his state of mind and caused him to do wrong things. He did not deserve to see his one and only mate be destroyed.
At first, The Monster is very kind and sympathetic. He has a good heart, as shown when he collected firewood for the family on the brink of poverty. Like every other human creation, he was not born a murderer. All the Monster wanted was to be accepted and loved by Victor Frankenstein and the other humans but instead he was judged by his appearance and considered to be dangerous. The Monster says, “like Adam, I was created apparently united by no link to any other being in existence…many times I considered Satan as the fitter emblem of my condition; for often, like him, when I viewed the bliss of my protectors, the bitter gall of envy rose within me” (page 105). This line is an important part of the novel because the Monster lets it be known how like Adam he was created into this world completely abandoned and like Satan he is angry with those people who have found contentment and satisfaction in their lives. The rejection and unwelcome feeling he is faced with, is the main reason the Monster becomes a killer. Watching another family show love towards each other made the Monster realize how alienated he truly was. He did not know how to deal with his pain and emotions so he murders as
People often assume that revenge will make them feel better. This important theme is shown throughout Mary Shelley’s novel Frankenstein. The monster in this novel portrays this evil character because of the actions he took and because of revenge toward his creator, Victor Frankenstein. Revenge controlled the monster’s life and caused him to kill many of the people Victor loved. Revenge often motivates people to take actions toward their offender because they think that is will help console them.
