Everyone Is A Monster
In Frankenstein, Marry Shelley uses emotional intensity and nature as refuge for her main focus. She tells us that nobody is born a monster, it is society personal view what make you who you are. The Monster was on his own ever since the beginning. He tries to be a good civilized person more than once and fails. Victor shows us what all society will think of him right in the beginning of the chapter. No one is born a monster it is civilization and society who makes us who we are.
Anyone who brings someone into the world should love them unconditionally and keep them safe. "The innocent and helpless creature bestowed on them by heaven, whom to bring up to good, and whose future lot it was in their hands to direct
People who are blind sided by what everyone else is thinking or see also changes the perspective of others. The old blind man De Lacey said the to Creature, "They are kind they are the most excellent creatures in the world; but unfortunately, they are prejudice against me" (162). To have the Creature to be able to talk to someone without being afraid of his looks gives him a chance for the old man to get to really know him without being frighten. This gives the Creature emotional satisfaction of affection that he has never gotten from anyone else. When Felix walks into the door he jumps into conclusion and thinks that this has to be some type of monster and has to save his father. He starts beating the Creature with a stick and the Creature thinks to himself, "I could have torn him from limb from limb, as the lion rends the antelope. But my heart sank within me as with bitter sickness, and I refrained" (164). The Creature shows that he is a human being and has feelings, when he decided to not kill Felix. That is because he would feel guilty about how old man De Lacy would be devastated that his son would have died. The Creature is not the real monster, he was a victim of society what they portrayed him as. Victor was the evil mastermind who made the same mistakes as his parents. Mary Shelley uses these two as a comparison where they both go to the mountains to find themselves and have a peace
As a tragic hero, Victor’s tragedies begin with his overly obsessive thirst for knowledge. Throughout his life, Victor has always been looking for new things to learn in the areas of science and philosophy. He goes so far with his knowledge that he ends up creating a living creature. Victor has extremely high expectations for his creation but is highly disappointed with the outcome. He says, “I had desired it with an ardour that far exceeded moderation; but now that I had finished, the beauty of the dream vanished, and breathless horror and disgust filled my heart” (Shelley 35). Frankenstein neglects the creature because of his horrifying looks, which spark the beginning of numerous conflicts and tragedies. At this point, the creature becomes a monster because of Victor’s neglect and irresponsibility. The monster is forced to learn to survive on his own, without anyone or anything to guide him along the way. Plus, the monster’s ugly looks cause society to turn against him, ad...
When Mary Shelley's novel Frankenstein is analyzed, critics comes to a conclusion about Victor Frankenstein's creation. The creature invokes the most sympathy from the readers than any other character in the novel. Because he is abandoned by society which manipulates the creature to do evil things despite his good heart. Therefore Shelley's message throughout the novel is that a person is not born evil, they are made evil.
In the first chapters of the book, Shelley describes a scientist who was obsessed with "doing something great" for mankind. Victor Frankenstein, an educated man of science, was completely involved with his work, which happened to be the creation of another living being with human qualities. Once Victor’s work was finally completed, he realized that he had created a “monster”, and he was terrified. Mary Shelley, supporting Rousseau's theory, definitely believed that people are born essentially with good intentions and feelings, and she shows this from the first few moments of the creature’s life. When Victor was lying terrified in his bed, the creature came i...
In contrast from the creature, Victor utterly tries fixing their dispute with violence creating a great mismatch of qualities and behaviors between the idea of human and monster. Victor actively sharpens his tongue against the creature when degrading him as a “Devil” and “Vile Insect” he even goes to the extent of claiming he will “Extinguish the spark which I so negligently bestowed” (102). Since the creature fails in resembling a human form Frankenstein’s constantly degrades and explodes this monster. Victor’s actions are based off the creature’s appearance and not of actual threats. Furthermore, Victor’s language and actions of dehumanization towards his creation not only demonstrates narrow mindedness from Victor’s behalf, but illuminates a grand contradiction between both characters. Although Victor physically represents a human his lack of reason and empathy towards his own creation cast him as the real monster during this
Throughout Frankenstein, one assumes that Frankenstein’s creation is the true monster. While the creation’s actions are indeed monstrous, one must also realize that his creator, Victor Frankenstein, is also a villain. His inconsiderate and selfish acts as well as his passion for science result in the death of his friend and family members and ultimately in his own demise. Throughout the novel, Shelley investigates the idea of monstrosity. She makes the point that a monster does not have to be genuinely evil in order to be considered monstrous.
In Frankenstein, Shelley tried to show that a person is shaped by the way that they are treated and their environment. She wanted people to understand that Frankenstein’s monster was born like a baby, innocent and free, and she showed the reader in the novel that it was the way that he was treated that made him who he was. The way that the monster was created would have been seen as immoral by the reader, although he was clearly not evil to begin with, despite the way that he had been created. However the way that he appeared led people...
Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein is a comparison of Nature vs. Nurture. Some critics argue that the Being is a monster from birth, while others claim that it cannot be limited to such a narrow category. The argument lies in the education of the Being. He is not a born killer, but is created by the rejection of society. The Being is born an innocent creature with ability to appreciate the sublime, but after learning about human emotions, he is transformed into a monster through the emotional rejection he receives from a human family.
It is when Frankenstein realizes how different he is to other people that he realizes his uniqueness and individualism. “I was, besides, endued with a figure hideously deformed and loathsome; I was not even of the same nature as man. I was more agile than they and could subsist upon a coarser diet; I bore the extremes of heat and cold with less injury to my frame; my stature far exceeded theirs. When I looked around I saw and heard of none like me. Was I, then, a monster, a blot upon the earth, from which all men fled and whom all men disowned?” (Frankenstein, 150). While Frankenstein is by no means a human, he is made up of human parts and still craves love and affection. His rejection from everyone he sees, including his creator makes him feel like an outcast. It was because of Victor that Frankenstein couldn’t bear to be who he was made to be and felt a need to run into isolation. Victor not only created a monster physically, but also mentally turned him into someone he didn’t have to be. Both Frankenstein and Victor struggle with balancing their personal wants and needs with societies expectations and the people around them. That is one of the true struggles of being one person living in a world of many, you have to do what makes you happy while making sure it doesn’t effect other peoples happiness negatively. Victor doesn’t do a good job of
No one is born a monster, a monster is created throughout socialization, and the process of socialization starts from the contact with the creator. In the book, Frankenstein, Mary Shelley is wrote with a deep message that touches the heart. This message implies that the reader will not see the story only from the perspective of the narrator, but is also reveals numerous hidden opinions and form a personal interpretation of the novel. Moreover, Victor Frankenstein is the creation that creates the monster, but he could not take the responsibility for his creature, and he was not able to take care of his child or his own creation. He could not cope with this discovery and simply ignored it. The tragedy of Victor and the tragedy of his creature
The creature’s personality, or actions toward society, was displayed as being very calm and compassionate in the novel. He made many attempts to converse with society, but society feared and mistreated...
Many positions can be taken on who is right and wrong or what should or should not be done in regards to many hard, life decisions. The position that I stand for deeply is the fact that Victor Frankenstein should not create a new monster for Adam to take comfort in. There are many reasons as to why it would be a bad idea but the top four I have come up with are the following: The new creature may not like Adam, Adam was never showed love so he will not know how to give his companion any, both of the creatures will live for human interaction so no matter what promise they make they will not be able to stay away from people, and last but most importantly Adam is the person that killed Victor's brother.
I have heard about your creation and the demand he made of you. I believe that you should not give him a mate. There has been two deaths as a cause of this thing being brought into the world. You have no control over your creation, even though he could have killed you many times before he hasn’t. I understand that he is lonely and sad. Because no one wants to be near him so you feel like you owe him a this. But if you bring another monster into this world it would be worse. There will be two angry monsters that no one can control. There is a possibility that she won’t want to be with him. This may make him even more angry that the one person that was made for him doesn’t even want him. You have seen what happened when you, his father ,left
The creation of Frankenstein who was supposed to be the first of many in his new species was never accepted into society and was left to lead his life alone. His many attempts to tie himself into society and begin living his life as Adam were ignored by others. As a result, the creature took on a life as Satan, a monster, determined to physically harm mankind as retribution for the enormous agony and misery it had placed on his own life. Life as a monster was the only way that the creature could gain any recognition from society, and at the same time it gave him an outlet for all his anger. The creation of Frankenstein was a monster, but only as a result of exclusion from society.
