Never judge a book by it’s cover. You cannot come to conclusions about who someone is based on their image. What’s on the outside may contradict what’s on the inside. Who someone is will always surprise if you immediately make assumptions because of how they look. That’s what happened in the novel “frankenstein” written by Mary Shelley.
In the book Frankenstein by Mary Shelly , the creature undergoes specific events that shape his personality. The creature shows aspects of being a human being and has goals he wants to achieve such as finding a companion and hopefully stopping the horrible deeds he has been doing. Throughout events , the way society looks at him shaped his opinion on himself affecting his future actions such as murdering William and causing the death of Justine. In the book , the creature explains itself of having sensations of pain mixed with pleasure when someone showed him an act of kindness towards another person . In the book it says , “ He raised her and smiled with such kindness and pleasure , such as I had never before experienced , either from hunger
The Creature’s Discovery of Frankenstein’s Journal. The book Frankenstein was written by Mary Shelley in 1818. In the passage on page 105, Mary Shelley presents to the creature what Victor thought about him preparatory to being created. Shelley uses the fact that Victor abandoned him, which shows how much resentment the creature has toward Victor.
After telling Victor the story of his short, miserable life, the creature’s longing to be a part of a family continues as he begs Victor to give him a female creature, similar to himself, that he can run away and avoid humanity with forever. The creature explains to Victor “You must create a female for me with whom I can live in the interchange of those sympathies necessary for my being” (Shelley 156). The absence of family throughout Frankenstein causes psychological as well as physical illness in several characters.
The creature is asking Frankenstein to make another female creature for him. The creature is feeling so alone, and feels as if he has no purpose in the world. He has no one similar to him that share his defects. He believes his feeling can only be resolved with a friend’s comfort. This is how Victor felt when he was isolated in
The Creature in Frankenstein Mary Shelly’s “Frankenstein” is an inspirational work of horror and science fiction; it is the narrative of an unorthodox act of creation, of a monster which torments his miserable creator. The author puts forth ideas, and reinforces it through the development of the plot, that mankind is capable of both good and evil. Shelly demonstrates the ‘humanity’ of the creature; his actions and his inclination are like those of mankind. Indeed, even the negative aspect of his character, demonstrated through his quest for revenge, has a parallel in the actions of his human creator. In Mary Shelley’s “Frankenstein” the creature is represented as being vicious and murderous but he is not inherently evil or malicious.
He is aware of his otherness and knows that he is “shut out from intercourse” (84) with the people he holds so dear. It can be argued that this is the point where the creature’s humanity is the strongest throughout the course of story. He has a basic understanding of human societies, he speaks and reads their language, shows compassion and, most importantly, seeks their company and friendship. In his knowledge that social belonging is the missing component to his own happiness, he confronts the people he secretly observed only to, once again, be met with fear and anger (94-95). He comes to realise that he
In the novel Frankenstein written by Mary Shelley, Dr. Victor Frankenstein wanted to try to renew life in a corpse, to “bestow animation upon lifeless matter”. so he created a “monster” using dead body parts from criminals. The creature's personality changes throughout the course of the novel. To start off when the creature was first created, he was almost like an infant. The creature was overwhelmed not knowing how to function.
He compared himself to a father figure, implying that he deserves both admiration from his “child” and owes them nurturement. Then, only a few pages later, he gazed upon his completed life’s work and immediately fled, never to comfort or welcome him into the world. (Shelley 42). It’s this initial desertion that leaves the creature confused and sets the mood for the rest of the
As Montweiler says, the creature “...suffer rejection from those who ought to care for them,” and this changes the creature in ways that will end up having dire consequences
The novel “Frankenstein,” by Mary Shelley tells the story of a man named Victor Frankenstein, who decides to go against the laws of nature by bringing to life a being constructed with decaying body parts. Victor believes in natural philosophy and science, which leads him to the idea of creating this Creature. Although this novel can be interpreted in many ways, I believe that Mary Shelley is shining a light on the harmful and dangerous impacts that prejudice and assumptions can have on people who are considered different. Shelley may be suggesting that humanity is the true 'monster ' due to its socialized ideologies that make ambition, self-greed and rage fulfilling. Even to this day society is known to shun those who we do not see as equals.

Frankenstein illustrates a unique storyline that focused on a scientist and his unique ideas and his ability to create an essence that would later become his undoing. Born in Geneva, Switzerland, Victor Frankenstein was a man with an advanced intellectual mind and a passion for chemistry. His main focus was on the idea of creating another human being from just science alone, making him the first of people to actually accomplish such an achievement. Unfortunately, he did not predict the consequences that came with creating another being, such as the possibility that it would not inhabit the same physical features of a human being. When the monster was created, Victor was horrified by it, causing him to become fearful and ashamed.
The Novel that has been read during this class was the one called Frankenstein by Mary Shelley. At the start, it is explained that the captain is on a mission to the North Pole.
