Have you ever judged a person by how they look? Or Ran away from your problem but they seem to come back and haunt you? Well in the book Gris Grimly 's Frankenstein, Victor Frankenstein had created a creature so horrible looking that he ran away from it. Everyone believed that he wasn’t a human being, but I believe that everything he 's done was the most humane thing he could have done. The creature was a kind and "benevolent soul" that cared for everyone until he would be turned away from humanity all because he looked different.
Like any novel, all characters all have a purpose. In Mary Shelley's Frankenstein the characters are very significant. Robert Walton and the Monster happen to be my favorite two. They both add to what makes Victor Frankenstein, Victor Frankenstein. The three characters go hand in hand…
The creature, referring to the monster created by Victor Frankenstein in Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein, have a crave for establishing an actual relationship with human being within his character, as the scene that contains his interaction with the cottagers would suggest. He became very interested in human culture. He was amazed by how words can express pleasure, pain and sadness, and he considered it a godlike science. He also found the naming of objects interesting, and he described a feeling of delight when he had learned the meaning or when he pronounced the word.
The Real Villain Experiences, they mold your personality. They dictate what kind of person you are going to be. Victor Frankenstein clearly did not understand this when he created his “monster”. He left his creation alone in the world to figure things out by itself. In doing so, Frankenstein left the creation to terrible experience that cause him to become murderer.
The creature sees humans as fortunate and from his point of view he doesn’t see why they’d have any reason to be unhappy. He pays very close attention to their everyday lives and the way they express themselves and feelings. In paragraph 4 he states “I saw no cause for their unhappiness, but I was deeply affected by it.” This shows what kind of caring creature he is and how he takes others into considertion. He is very observant of the humans, he pays attention to their choice of words and the clothes they wear.
He’s vulnerable and helpless. He merely feels the warmth of another being, one who he knows created him, and he yearns to derive companionship and affection from it. However, despite the rejection the creature faces from Frankenstein, he continues to stumble through his first few weeks of life seeking out love in a form of man. He attempts to find this love in a village that torments him with stones for his deformity, and later a family living secluded in a small cottage. This family, the De Laceys, teaches the creature of love and kindness from his hidden hovel.
Throughout the novel of Frankenstein, Victor Frankenstein’s creation has many similarities of a human being. To start, the creature wants someone to care for him and to be accepted. For example, the creature states, “ you must create a femal for me with whom i can live in the interchange of those sympathies necessary for my being.” (Shelly 104) In short, the creature needs attention and compassion.
Creature or Child? How would being alone and confused in society affect someone? In Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein, a scientist creates life, afterwards, he abandons his creation to live a life of loneliness and confusion. The creature is sent into the world curious, confused, and is constantly judged by society based on his appearance. This establishes the question, is the creature a monster, or just a child abandoned by his mentor to learn and live by himself.
The creature can be viewed sympathetically in several ways. The creature is a victim of his environment and it is not his fault he was created and abandoned by his creator due to his scary looks leaving him scared, homeless, all alone to fend for himself. “I possessed no money, no friends, no kind of property”;” I was hideously deformed and loathsome” (Shelly, 107). The creature was born in a world that wasn’t accepting of him because he was judge by his scary appearance and not recognized as a person. People would be afraid and run away from him.
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.
Due to neglect and immediate abandonment during the beginning of his life, the creature develops a hostile attitude and seeks revenge on Victor Frankenstein. In response to the cottage dwellers attacking him, the creature exclaims “cursed, cursed creator! Why did I live? Why, in that instant, did I not extinguish the spark of existence of which you had so wantonly bestowed” and reveals his feelings “of rage and revenge” (Shelley 135).
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.
In the book, Frankenstein, by Mary Shelley, the main character Victor Frankenstein creates a monster. The monster is not like an average person, he’s an ugly giant that doesn’t fit into society. With society rejecting him, it causes it to be the blame for his actions. One day, when the monster was wandering around he met the DeLaceys. The DeLaceys was the family who he wanted to join and be a part of.
Do you consider the monster a human? We are already know the meaning of human, but are we know what the monster is? The monster in people’s mind generally is the one who has horribleness, ugliness, or the unnatural body. Will it have some people do not look only appearance but his or her heart.
In The Picture, there are no ghosts haunting and monsters from nightmares made an appearance, as is the case in Gothic novels like Frankenstein, but motifs The Picture contained definitely counts it in the Gothic genre and twisted aesthecism. The monster is Dorian himself, both to himself and others. Some actions of Dorian alluded to affect other unmentioned victims in and out of his social circle. While giving into the hedonistic values that he read in the “yellow book” (Wilde 146) gifted to him by Lord Henry and never named in the text, Dorian acts callously and with selfishness towards others.
