Recommended: Elizabeth Frankenstein character analysis

Hey guys, I would like to say this is going to be my last blog as the Green Goblin. The last time we left off was when Victor promised the monster that he will create another being like him. The monster knew that he wouldn’t have any interaction with any human beings so the best option for him is to have another monster to keep him company. At first, Victor didn’t want to create another monster because he thinks that both of the monster will work together to cause even more destruction. However, Victor pities the monster because he went through so much pain and loneliness. The monster didn’t have any intention to cause harm to mankind, but instead, it's his loneliness that evokes him to be evil. I think that since the monster lives a lonely

    To begin, the monster longed for human connection so badly, he even begged Victor to create his wife: “You must create a female for me with whom I can live in the interchange of those sympathies necessary for my being. This you alone can do, and I demand it of you as my right which you must not refuse to concede,” (174). In this quote, the monster asks Victor to make him a companion, which Victor blatantly denies. This eventually leads to

  • Frankenstein, by Mary Shelley

    In Frankenstein, Victor’s monster suffers much loneliness and pain at the hands of every human he meets, as he tries to be human like them. First, he is abandoned by his creator, the one person that should have accepted, helped, and guided him through the confusing world he found himself in. Next, he is shunned wherever he goes, often attacked and injured. Still, throughout these trials, the creature remains hopeful that he can eventually be accepted, and entertains virtuous and moral thoughts. However, when the creature takes another crushing blow, as a family he had thought to be very noble and honorable abandons him as well, his hopes are dashed. The monster then takes revenge on Victor, killing many of his loved ones, and on the humans who have hurt him. While exacting his revenge, the monster often feels guilty for his actions and tries to be better, but is then angered and provoked into committing more wrongdoings, feeling self-pity all the while. Finally, after Victor’s death, the monster returns to mourn the death of his creator, a death he directly caused, and speaks about his misery and shame. During his soliloquy, the monster shows that he has become a human being because he suffers from an inner conflict, in his case, between guilt and a need for sympathy and pity, as all humans do.

  • Negative Effects Of Isolation In Frankenstein

    1449 Words  | 3 Pages

    Since the monster has grown and has developed the concepts of life and why people reject him, all he wants is to be accepted and loved. He wants a companion because he is lonely in his isolation from the society. “He explains that since Victor deserted him he has been without companionship; all who see him run away in terror” (“Overview”). The monster understands that he is a hideous monster but he still wants to feel loved and accepted by society. He wants a companion to share his life with and be happy with. He is not given that opportunity because of his appearance. The monster will always be isolated from the world because no one can give him companionship. “If any being felt emotions of benevolence towards me, I should return them an hundred and an hundred fold; for that one creature 's sake, I would make peace with the whole kind! But I now indulge in dreams of bliss that cannot be realized” (Shelley, 105). The monster has been isolated all of his life and all he wants is to have a companion. Isolation has made the monster feel alone and like an outcast. The isolation of the monster has the negative effect of making him lonely and in need of a companion. The monster finds Victor and demands that he build another monster for the monster to be a companion with, or an “Eve”. After Victor says yes and then changes his mind and says no, the monster casts revenge of Victor. “...he declares 'everlasting war against the species, and, more than all, against him who had formed me, and sent me forth to this insupportable misery” (Bond). The monster is angry at Victor. He wants Victor to build him a companion or he will kill everyone that Victor loves. After Victor rejects the idea, the monster wants Victor to feel the loneliness and isolation that the monster has felt all his life. “...if I cannot inspire love, I will cause fear; and chiefly towards you, my

  • Humanity in Frankenstein; Is Anyone Human?

    814 Words  | 2 Pages

    One way the monster can be considered human is his want for a companion. A human longs for a companion from birth; starting with a motherly figure, to a friend and later a significant other. The novel suggests that the creature cannot be accepted as human because he is a singular being. His singularity makes it so that the creature cannot relate to humans and without the ability to relate, he cannot be human. Thus the monster asks victor for a companion to attempt to bar his destructive, murderous actions, assuming that feeling more human and having someone like him will resist his urge to destroy and seek revenge on human society. The monster begs, “I am alone and miserable: man will not associate with me; but one as deformed and horrible as myself would not deny he...

    Like a child longs for a mother’s love, the monster longs for the love of his creator. When the monster was first created, Victor says that the monster looked at him “while a grin wrinkled his cheeks.” The monster looks at Victor with love and instead of receiving love in return, he receives complete rejection. The monster cannot understand why his own creator does not love him like God loved Adam. The monster believes he should be like Adam but is “rather the fallen angel.” God made man in his own image and loved Adam even with his flaws. Yet, victor made “a monster so hideous that [Victor] turned from [his creation] in disgust.” This rejection from Victor makes the monster angry and

  • What Is The Theme Of Loneliness In Frankenstein

    896 Words  | 2 Pages

    Over the course of the novel, Frankenstein’s monster was often lonely due to his rejection from society. Because of his rejection, the monster began to persuade Frankenstein into creating a female companion, specifically for the monster. The monster explained that a female companion “with whom [he] can live in the interchange of those sympathies necessary for [his] being” (174) is his only way of experiencing love and acceptance by at least one person (or in this case, monster) around him. However, Frankenstein did not create another monster due to the problems it can potentially pose on society. These feelings of loneliness drove the monster insane and made him realize that he was “malicious because [he was] miserable… [and] shunned and hated by all mankind” (174) which eventually led to his demise after the death of his creator. What life could the monster live with a constant cloud of rejection over his head? What life could the monster live with the marinade of alienation and solitude soaking into his brain? With nobody or anything to live for, the monster made the decision to take his own life, due to these burdens and their effect on him and his
