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.
Victor Frankenstein, a character from Mary Shelley’s book Frankenstein Or the Modern Prometheus, created a Creature that ruins his life. Some may believe that Frankenstein is the Creature, though surprisingly Frankenstein is the creator of the Creature. Victor Frankenstein, a brilliant scientist, created a creature from the old flesh of decaying bodies, but because of the Creature was so hideous, Victor spontaneity leaves the Creature on his own. The Creature then learns how to read on his own, through some rather creepy stalking. The creature couldn’t help but envy the people with family and friend, for whom he had no one that he, could even call remotely a friend.
The story Frankenstein, tells us about a man named Victor and this Creature that he has made. The Creature and Victor both go thru some very difficult things but, when looking at it the creature deserves more sympathy than Victor does. Although there are many things that Victor has to endure, he is the one that makes the Creature although he knows that he will be going into the world and being around people he still does not put any consideration into how he looks.
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.
In the novel Frankenstein, by award-winning author Mary Shelley, a young scientist named Victor Frankenstein heads off to college. After a number of years when he eventually mastered his studies, he decided to attempt to design a gory creature as an experiment, made from chemicals and various body parts that he found in a graveyard. In the story, Victor is not attentive toward his creature, and he is scared of what his monster is capable of doing. This story is often referred to as a masterpiece in literature, as the reader explores the life of Victor and his creation. Shelley's use of personification surrounding the monster in Frankenstein allows the audience to understand with his feelings of loneliness and isolation.
The Monster and Exile Every person in life is created with a strong sense of belonging. Whether the belonging is to a person, a place, or a moment in time, they still feel connected and influenced by it. Exile is an action that separates a person from this connected belonging, and can suffer great consequences, but can also enrich their lifestyle. In Frankenstein, by Mary Shelley, the creature creaked by Victor Frankenstein is forced, from the very beginning of his existence, away from his creator and society as a whole. This type of exile turned the creature into what he is, shaping his ideas and mentalities.
Frankenstein's Monstrous Qualities Mary Shelley’s, Frankenstein, is well regarded as one of the first science fiction novels for the monstrous creature that young scientist, Victor Frankenstein, brings to life, and for the chilling events that follow this “abhorred” being’s creation. For many, such a brief synopsis implies that the true monster of the novel is the murderous creature, of which is composed of mix matched human body parts. However, others would agree that there are multiple characteristics displayed by Frankenstein himself that reveal a more monstrous disposition than his creation. I argue that, in this case, the difference between being a monster, and being monstrous are blurred, and that Frankenstein is quite monstrous due
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.
Over the past century, Frankenstein has been analyzed and interpreted in seemingly infinite different forms of literature, film, and television shows. Once solely recognized as the story about a brilliant scientist who creates a creature in whom he regrets making after the creature turns out ugly, Frankenstein now represents an internationally recognized and commercialized pop culture symbol for Halloween decorations and costumes. When analyzing and appreciating the true literary essence behind Mary Shelley’s original Frankenstein, one of the most important comparisons to consider remains the underlying influences behind the Creature’s immoral actions and whether or not the blame for these actions belong to Victor or the Creature. When exploring the dichotomy of the Creature versus Victor Frankenstein, one of the biggest and most widely debated questions remains whether Victor should be blamed for the Creature’s destructive actions or if the Creature should be considered guilty for his actions based off of his own free will. Many consider Victor Frankenstein the villain of the story due to his repetitive decisions to abandon and avoid his own “mistake,” the irresponsible choice of creating the monster in the first place, and his obvious negligence of the Creature’s feelings.
The creature learned to self educate himself by observing the world around him, much like the development of any human being, “a strange multiplicity of sensations seized me, I saw, felt, heard, and smelt, at the same time,” and eventually “learned to distinguish between the operations of my various senses. ”(95) He travels through the forest, learning to use his senses and survival skills however his hunger soon drives him to leave the forest and enter into society. He eventually happens upon a village, where he first experiences the reaction of his presence. In an attempt to cure his hunger, he stumbles into a small hut where he is greeted with shrieks and violence, “...some fled, some attacked me, until grievously bruised by stones and many other kinds of missile weapons, I escaped into the open country and fearfully took refuge….” (98) Because the creature has no knowledge of his origins, he struggles with understanding why he is being treated the way he is.
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 novel Frankenstein, the monster created by Frankenstein shows some human qualities. Some qualities that make people human are reason, pain, anger, sadness, growth, and ultimately being made by God; the monster expresses the human qualities of pain, anger, sadness, and reason, but he does not have the quality of being made by God, and growth. One of the first qualities that the monster exhibits is reason. When the monster is sharing his story with Frankenstein, he explains how he discovered the rules of fire by saying, “ I quickly collected some branches; but they were wet, and would not burn.
In this, he becomes obsessed with animating a lifeless body. After a great deal of planning and researching his task, he finally discovers the means by which to complete it. He spends sleepless nights collecting body parts from vaults and charnel-houses for which he will construct a human frame. Frankenstein recalls this time in his life as a “trance” that consumed him mentally and physically, and during his experiment degrades until he successfully creates a human. Terrified by his creation, Frankenstein goes from fatigued to incredibly ill in a living hell.
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.
Monstrosity is a deceiving word that can cause society to act in a particular way blinding them from looking at the inner traits and rather focus on the physical traits. A person 's personality has now no longer defined whom they are but instead, their physical appearance has. For quite some time society have judged those who are any different and don’t meet the standard of normality and as a result, people tend to lash out of anger, leading many people to accept the fact that mankind is nothing but corrupted and evil. One of these people being Mary Shelley 's who shared her views on mankind in her novel Frankenstein, as she presents a creature that had been viewed as an abomination to society for its appearance and wrongdoings. However, these
