598 Words3 Pages

I started as a kind person. I only wanted to love and help people. From the moment Frankenstein made me I was judged for how I look. From the moment I stepped out onto the streets I was looked at with disgust and horror. People shouted at me, some even through stones. They were so quick to judge me I didn’t get a chance to prove them wrong. So with being rejected from society, I decided if they wouldn’t accept me then I would have to get Frankenstein to make someone like me. Someone who wouldn’t judge me on my looks. A companion. So I waited. Two years until I could finally see her, Two years until I would have someone to share my life with. Until Clerval decided to step in. He held up the blade. Testing it. Ready to murder the only person I would ever …show more content…

At first, the only person I thought could do something this cruel, would be Frankenstein. But I was wrong. Turns out all humans can be this ruthless. His first impulse was predictable. To hurt me. All humans want to do when they see something different is to destroy it. When he tried to leap at me I brushed him off. Then I looked at my bride. Oh, she was the most beautiful thing I had ever seen. I reassured Clerval that together we would go off into the mountains and he would never see us again, but that wasn’t good enough for him. He wanted to end me. He hated the idea of a creature like me to have someone. So he tried to kill her. I was furious. I couldn’t believe it. How could someone be that cruel? I was so angry, I struck him to the floor. My main priority was to make sure my bride was safe. I feverishly tried connecting the wires. The only thing in my mind was my bride living. Then Elizebeth and the servant arrived at the door and being the bloodthirsty creatures they are, they shot me and tried to go after my bride. I was filled with rage, I couldn't stop myself. If society hadn’t been so quick to judge me I could have been kind and nice. I could have helped , not

In Frankenstein the monster is a complex character that I can sympathize with because he does not know how to act in society. This is relatable because when you move to a new area there are different social statuses and different things that are acceptable. This monster has never had any standards of how to act in society and what is socially acceptable. These can be very hard to learn along with a language and looking different then every other person. These people also don't accept him because he looks different.

Whereas Frankenstein does not properly value the domestic affection he is given until it is violently taken from him, his creation learns that this is what values most in life and yet is not able to gain this affection from others. Francis Bacon says in his essay Of Friendship “I have given the rule, where a man cannot fitly play his own part; if he have not a friend, he may quit the stage”. Shelley highlights the need for a sense of belonging and companionship by letting both her main figures suffer the pain of not having this need fulfilled and, in consequence, they both “quit the stage” (Bacon) and turn their backs on humanity. Social isolation, although through different circumstances, was the predominant cause for both Frankenstein and his creature’s demise. Even Percy Bysshe Shelley, Mary Shelley’s husband, wrote in his preface to Frankenstein about the “amiableness of domestic affection” (Shelley 9).

Frankenstein’s Monster as a Tragic Hero Aristotle once said that "A man doesn 't become a hero until he can see the root of his own downfall" (Carlson). In Frankenstein, many argue that Victor Frankenstein himself is indeed the tragic hero of the novel. I believe that the creation of Victor Frankenstein (the monster) is the actual tragic hero. There are several components to being a tragic hero, two of the most important are their tragic flaw, and the component of a tragedy or a tragic ending to the story. Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein is without a doubt tragic through many characters in different ways, but in my eyes, the creature is the character that sticks out with the most characteristics of a tragic hero.

In 1818 Mary Shelley wrote Frankenstein, a novel that follows Victor Frankenstein, an ambitious man on his journey to defy the natural sciences. In Volume I of the novel, Victor discusses his childhood, mentioning how wonderful and amazing it was because of how his family sheltered him from the bad in the world. “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 to happiness or misery, according as they fulfilled their duties towards me” (35). When Victor brings up his childhood, he suggests that parents play a strong in how their kids turn out, either "to happiness or misery" (35). In particular the main character was sheltered as a child to achieve this “happiness” leading to Victor never developing a coping mechanism to the evil in the world.

One’s personality or inside appearance should not be determined by their outside appearance. The monster was treated differently because he looked different, but if one got to know him he might have been a kind, caring person instead of a vicious person. If Frankenstein realized his responsibilities for others, his citizens, he would not have made this vicious monster, or Frankenstein would have given it the nurturing it needed to be a good person. As global citizens, we should understand the risks we can put each other through with our scientific, social, or personal life decisions. Our responsibility for others could be to help one to grow up as mature, kind, effective
