Frankenstein Research Paper

Picture this. You're taking a nice leisurely stroll alone. A towering monster appears five feet in front of you, triple your size. Tail and everything. Lacking a considerable amount of skin and staring right into the base of your soul. What's your next thought for the next year? Is this thing even human? The debate on whether Frankenstein's creature is human remains a heated one. Readers are led to believe that the creature is in fact a human because of many things, such as his human characteristics such as hands. This is, without a doubt, an understandable view. However, many other animals, like apes, have extremely similar characteristics to humans. Yet we call them animals. Frankenstein's creature from Gris Grimly's Frankenstein by Gris

Why would William call him an ugly, wretched and hideous monster if he were a human? A similar situation happens right after Victor's death on pages 190 and 191. Walton, at first sight, calls the creature a "Monster" and "Wretch." Let's recall, who's the only person who did not panic and see the creature as a monster? A blind man. Someone who cannot understand the true characteristics and sight of the creature. The entire conversation is on pages 105, 106, and 107. Some may argue that this conversation proves that the creature can speak, think, and communicate like a human. This is a very understandable question. However, monkeys can think similarly to, and sometimes more advanced than, humans. Dogs can communicate with humans in their own way, and parrots can speak like humans. Whether the public or the creature himself, like it or not, they both accept that he is a
