The Beast of Frankenstein

What is your definition of a human? A human, in my opinion, is just a mammal with humanity. Humans care for each other and help each other. The difference between a human and something else is that humans can easily turn into beasts. In Gris Grimly's horror novel, Frankenstein, Victor creates some form of a human. But, that thing is nowhere close to being human. It is a vile monster and of a different species.

The creature Victor Frankenstein created is not human because it is a monster. This thing has proven it is a monster because it has destroyed life and unleashed its anger out on a building. On page 192, it states, "It is true that I am a wretch. I have murdered the lovely and the helpless; … grasped to death …show more content…

It is just a science experiment that is capable of non-human abilities. As stated, "…The moon arose, and shone full upon his ghastly and distorted shape, as he fled with more than mortal speed."(Grimly, 171) This creature isn't human because it has qualities no human or mortal has. This thing is of another species of undead nightmares. On page 37, "I collected bones from charnel houses; and disturbed, with profane fingers, the tremendous secrets of the human frame." So, the creature is made of human parts but, that just makes it even less human. It is just a science experiment gone wrong. It wasn’t brought into this world like other humans but, from a laboratory. It isn't in any shape or form a human. It is an out-casted unimaginable experiment that can do non-human things that scare the living day lights out of …show more content…

That no one ever sees that he is capable of being happy if they just look away from his external appearance. For example, when the creature is saying, "...the future gilded by bright rays of hope, and anticipations of joy." Shows how he is being hopeful and happy. But that doesn’t make him human. Of course, humans have emotions but so do cats and dogs. Having emotions or feelings doesn’t make you human, it is the way you interpret your feelings that make you human. The creature didn’t interpret its emotions right so they too it over. In the book it shows how the creature let its anger control itself and kill Victor's little brother, William. The creature grasped his neck and squeezed with all his might till the poor little boy had suffocated to death. Then it had the nerve to frame innocent Justine for the murder. (Grimly,113-114) It allowed itself to kill William and Justine because its rage took control. It may seem human to lose control but, once you murder innocents and all that blood is in your hands, you are no longer human. Its emotions guided it to a world of blood where it shows its true form. Once your emotions take over your soul is lost forever, and it shows the darkest form of you. That is what happened to the creature and it can never redeem itself from

The tallest person in the world was 8 feet and 11inches. His name was Robert Pershing Wadlow. People who disagree with the creature being a human will also say that he murders people so that makes him a monster or animal. That still could make him human because many people have evil in them and there might be things that could set people off to do something bad. What I am saying is that killing is not good but also people have killed before and they are still consider human.

For example, they argue that the creature is "about eight feet in height" (Frankenstein,36). However, Robert Wadlow was eight feet and 11.1 inches, even taller than the creature. Therefore, the creature being eight feet in height doesn't mean he isn't human. Also, they may say he is not human because of his outer appearance, that he is a "monster" and a "wretched devil" (Frankenstein, 82). But, all humans were created different and beautiful in their own ways.

On the other hand, I disagree with people saying Frankenstein 's creature is human because, yes of course, I understand that he is very reasonable and coordinated about vocally speaking to others, but besides that, look at his looks. Eight feet tall is not a usual height for a person, and his bone structure, you can see both bone and skin tissue, sticking out of his body.

The creature clearly looks different and has an appearance that causes many to shun him out. When the creature interacts with the blind old man from inside the walls, we can see that he isn’t as monstrous as Victor made him out to be. He is kind and gentle. It isn’t until the old man’s family comes back into the House that we see the harsh judgment of other Humans towards the creature (p. 108-115). This is important as it shows the people in the world Mary Shelly has created are closed minded and judged based on appearance.

To answer that, we firstly need to define what makes someone human. According to http://www.thefreedictionary.com/ a human is someone that is “subject to or indicative of the weaknesses, imperfections, and fragility associated with humans”. Mary Shelley makes it very clear that the monster possess the same traits as a human. The monster feels, talks and acts as a human regardless of the fact that it does not obtain the looks of one. Since he is artificially created and does not look like a human, his creator Victor Frankenstein is repulsed by it and shuns him.
