The beast flew overhead, its wings making a shadow on the ground at least eight yards wide. Suddenly, it began to descend. The ground trembled as it landed before me. Its silver scales seemed to glitter in the moonlight. It gazed at me with goldenrod eyes. In a gentle yet might voice, the creature spoke. “Are you the one of whom legend speaks?” I swallowed. “I am,” I replied, and then whispered, “I think.” “Then you are the one who
Too all those I have hurt and killed, I am truly sorry for the monster I created. Before the creation of this monster my thoughts were all in the realm of positives and achievements. I did not handle the responsibilities that came with the creation of a life. I should have kept an eye on the monster and used safety precautions to make sure it was safe to have the monster around the townspeople. At first contact I believed that I had created a creature of great achievement, but I was incorrect in my assumption. The monster I created was undeniably a grave mistake. The killing of Henry, Elizabeth, and the boy were all at my fault. If I never created the monster then casualties that came with it would of never have been. I grieve for the destruction
Scanning my mind and listening. The creature could be a vagabond, an upright being without wings? Two arms, two legs, incomparable to any other animal. Why was it not speaking English ? Was it trying to convey something? What kind of reaction was it looking for? What circumstances could this encounter lead up to? Was the encounter premeditated, meant to be chaotic? Incomprehensible? But in actually, it is a reality. Did the creature have wings? When the creature came closer it was becoming determined to have our attention, it's not disputed. Yet it draws suspicion, specifically the creature did not impart itself completely, but stays on the inner edge of darkness hiding his corporeal self, simoustanly encroaching himself on us. However,
such a friend ought to be - do not lend his aid to perfectionate our weak
I walked to it and tried prying it from the ground with my fingers. A twig broke behind me and I jumped and spun around. It was dark now and the only light was from the full moon. I had a bad feeling start to pump through me. I turned and ran trying to evacuate the danger I felt nearby. I ran through brush that looked like claws trying to grab my ankles. And as tree limbs came down snatching at my skin I tripped and fell. I saw a tree nearby that looked welcoming and I tried to use it as cover. Black wings busted through the trees and run started echoing around me in a croaked out a raspy breath.
The creature locked eyes with Maia and pointed towards her. “We needed her, our master wishes for her to be with him, we must do what our master wishes.”
Noc let out a slow, silent, and heavy breath; his eyes widening at the sight of his prey giving up. He would have smiled, if that were the appropriate response, but such elation would always be tempered by another over powering emotion. One of a dark and twisted lust, a hunger for control. There have moments before, in his early days, when he felt like this, but it had been so long since he craved it... craved someone.
Jack jumped off the top of the train, as a tall creature with razor teeth and red, snake-like eyes, chased him, going for the kill. They fought, but the creature was to quick, it pinned Jack, claws digging into his flesh. The night was cold and gloomy, lights lit up the streets of London, the moons subtle glow reflected on small puddles left from the earlier rain.

Chapter 2 of Shelley's Frankenstein, describes the relationship Victor has with fellow sister Elizabeth. And his closest friend Henry Clerval. Between Victor and Elizabeth “Harmony was the soul our companionship” (Shelley pg 38). And even though they were indifferent they got along like two peas in a pod. Henry was a son of a merchant. Who read about romances and chivalry. The connection of reading brought them together.
Her large amber eyes gazed up at the skeletal creature, taking a moment to really take in what kind of creature she /was/. It seemed that she had summoned this dead woman herself, since it was highly unlikely that someone else who just happened to be a necromancer in the area had summoned her instead. Although she was still anxious of the possible living doll that was still lurking through the woods, she decided to brush it off for now. “a-ah, yes. Surely it would be frightful.” Although hesitant, Kinaktok reached up and pulled herself up to her feet with the skeleton’s hand. Bare, skeletal hands were cold to the touch, and felt extremely fragile. She quickly dusted off her uniform, glancing up at the creature once more with a curious smile.
and in this essay I will explore who the monster is in the novel. The
Driven by an uncontrollable longing to create life, Frankenstein isolates himself from the people in his life who matter the most. Victor acknowledges the evil in his deeds and the unnatural nature of his desires, but succumbs to what he views as his destiny. In this, he abandons his conscience and his human ability to reason. He seeks not human companionship, but thrives in his solitude where none can remind him of his irresponsibility and selfishness. This inability to reason exposes his selfish and cruel nature while the monster who seeks for a taste of acknowledgment is able to present a much more reasonable understandings. In Mary Shelley 's Frankenstein, in the content of pages 102-103, both the creator and creation have an animated discussion and argument where Victor 's inability to reason is displayed. Victor Frankenstein 's sole focus is on himself and it blinds him to the ability to be reasonable or take responsibility for his creation as well as exhibits how the Creature at times displays more maturity, rationality, or human qualities than his creator.
Translated into a multitude of languages the classic gothic novel of Frankenstein written by Mary Shelley has had a huge influence on a grand scheme of things such as adaptations of: television, plays, and specifically on movies. One of the most true and faithful adaption of the novel is a film by Kenneth Branagh from 1995. Although, Branagh’s film is the most faithful to the original novel by Mary Shelley it still has remade parts that makes the film unique. The unique aspect of the movie to the novel includes the location, a bit of plot change, and even some different social issues are addressed, but even with all these changes it is still considered to be the most true and accurate to the original novel. The scenes that Branagh changes have a better meaning in today’s society. In this classic gothic novel, Shelley, writes about many touchy and important topics like fear, abandonment, acceptance, death, impulse, rejection, life, and many more not listed that are prevalent today; each scene discussed has a theme that reaches outside the novel and the time period to create another relevant message that is still evident today. With the creation scene of the monster much more detail is added, the addition of a the monkey’s paw scene that tells us Victors inspiration to create the creature, and a scene where Victor creates another monster in the name of love.
I'm that little ugly monster that Frankenstein created.All I remember is laying on this bed with my arms and legs tied down to the bed.I was in this dark lab which had many tools all over the place with no light except a little crack which I could only have one eye open to see out of.There also was a single light bulb swinging making single shadows that crept me out.This creation took 2 years out of my life.It's kinda scary because the parts he made me with is from a graveyard.Frankenstein wanted me to be so cute but guess what I came out ugly.His skin was crinkly and his aroma smelled like he just came from a pig pen.
