Frankenstein Complex Research Paper

350 Words2 Pages
The Frankenstein Complex was born out of such harsh judgments against beings of the unknown. The Frankenstein Complex is the “fear of artificial human beings”(Clapper). But in reality, the Frankenstein Complex should be a fear of creators. Frankenstein’s creation is “born” as a tabula rasa, yet society and Victor label him before even he can form an opinion of himself, and his judgment and constant rejection cause him to react as any human would, by striking out, seeking to eliminate that which caused him harm in the first place. Victor’s creation is not a monster. He is a product of a society’s inability to cope with advancing science and its consequences. His very presence is due to Victor’s experimenting in alchemy, and his greed for fame.
