Compare And Contrast God And Frankenstein

Both Frankenstein and Paradise lost introduce similar characters with comparing and contrasting motives, stories, and characteristics. Satan and Adam, In Paradise Lost, and the monster, in Frankenstein, are both created beings with a purposeful creation, yet Satan and the Creature both turn out to be outcasts to their creators and both become vengeful and angry towards their masters. Even Adam betrayed God by defying his command to not eat from the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil. God, in Paradise Lost, and Victor, in Frankenstein, also share similar stories and motives by which both were masters of a creation, but God looked on his creation with pleasance and gladness in contrast to Victor whom viewed his creation as horrifying and disturbing.

different from everything else he had created, molded in His image and likeness (Genesis 2), but

I can compare Frankenstein to the movie I saw by Tim Burton, Frankenweenie. They are similar but instead of a human body, it was a dog and the mad scientist was a young boy named Victor Frankenstein. The young Victor Frankenstein brings his dog back to life after being hit by a car for a science fair project while the real Victor Frankenstein wanted to create a real life human. Just like the real Frankenstein monster, the dog brings trouble. In the book, the mad scientist, denies the monster but in Frankenweenie, the young boy convinces his family and friends to like his creation. Some of his classmates had known the young Victor Frankenstein creation and was intrigued to do the same experiment like his but it went out of the standards of

Both scientists seem crazy and have a God-Complex. Frankenstein states, "A new species would bless me as its creator and source; many happy and excellent natures would owe their being to me (pg 155)." They both attempt to undo God's work. Aylmer and Frankenstein worked relentlessly on their experiments, completely disregarded the outside world and allowing no one in while they worked. To Aylmer, his experiment was everything to him, it meant more to him than his wife and therefore he had the ability to control her for the sake of his experiment. Frankenstein spent his whole life trying to run away from his experiment, it controlled him. Neither of them had any forethought and because of that, their subjects suffered. Aylmer and Frankenstein exhibit similar qualities and at the same time show how very different they are.

They both share an intense level of loneliness, a chance to interact with others, and a desire to fit

Critic Chris Bond clearly claims this idea by saying that by creating the monster, Frankenstein sought to usurp God. Actually, to be more precise, Frankenstein sought to be the god of his own new species created with his own two hands. Chris Bond also sees Frankenstein and his work as “egotistical” and vain, and sees Frankenstein as a person whose whole selfish desire to create life stems from a need to be god rather than a “disinterested desire to further the interests of the human race”. True Frankenstein does claim that he would “in the process of time” use the knowledge he had gained to “renew life” in an effort to aid humanity, it is apparent by the way simply abandoned the monster he had created rather than actually take responsibility for what he had done, that Frankenstein was more interested in his personal interests and safety rather than that of humanity as a whole. Frankenstein never truly planned to help humanity, instead humanity was simply an afterthought. Mr. Bond goes on to quote a line from the beginning of the book which hints that Victor only sees science as a tool to unlock the secrets of the world rather than as an altruistic too to better the world out of the goodness of his own heart. Frankenstein didn’t care that he inadvertently set loose a dangerous beast upon the world until he was personally affected by the death of his brother, William. Victor was no god. He was merely a mortal trying to ignore the grievous sin he committed by trying to play

In the Bible, the book of Genesis 1:27 states that "God created humankind in his image, in the image of God he created them; male and female he created them." Creating both men and women in His image, God is the only person who can do this successfully, giving us unconditional love and never abandoning us throughout our journey in life. On the other hand, Victor Frankenstein, a young scientist creates a life form due to his love of natural sciences. His desire to create this life form only for an experimental purpose unknowingly leads to disastrous outcomes for both Victor Frankenstein and his creation, the monster. In Mary Shelley's novel, Frankenstein, the protagonist, Victor Frankenstein uses his knowledge

Frankenstein tried to play God and create something that should make him famous. This will enable him to win respect for the scientific community. In this creation process, he did not know that this might lead to later influence; his only concern was to be the first to create his own creation of life into his own creation. This is an attempt to show his ignorance and his arrogance towards God as the only

Youthful Frankenstein and Mary Shelly's Frankenstein is viewed as one of the best spoof ever made. Mel creeks portrays the excellent blood and guts movie in a really virtuoso viewpoint. In spite of the fact that his portrayal is close to home the turn in his delineation is an illustration of the work of a genuine virtuoso. This is the purpose behind the 1970s film industry victory. Furthermore he transforms frightening circumstances into inconceivably interesting and silly circumstances. The motion picture Young Frankenstein opens up what is done in high contrast. This was the same case with Mary Shelly's Frankenstein's. The opening up of the film in highly contrasting was done to keep the validness in Young Frankenstein. This was a move to make Young Frankenstein more alarming and genuine.

Although the stories are not completely alike, one of the most recurring theme that kept popping up throughout both stories were “trying to become god”. In Frankenstein,

Frankenstein is the doctor who created the monster. Additionally, the monster is portrayed as a green man with a scar down his face and a bolt sticking out of his head, which is not similar at all to Mary Shelley’s description of Frankenstein: “His yellow skin scarcely covered the work of muscles arteries beneath; his hair was of a lustrous black, and flowing; his teeth of a pearly whiteness; but these luxuriances only

Comparing and contrasting Victor and his monster is interesting, they both are similar and very different. Victor and the monster he creates can be interpreted in several different ways. Victor could be called a monster for creating a monster, for playing with god. Victor Frankenstein was a man who created a monster our of pride and glory. Trifling with life and using grotesque means to do so.

Mary Shelley’s book “Frankenstein” has been very popular for almost two centuries. Written in 1818, it follows the story of a scientist and the monster he creates. While the story becomes intriguing and sometimes heart wrenching. When a person really looks at the theology that the author promotes through this book though, its poor doctrine and messages become apparent. Mary Shelley encourages a very ungodly message through “Frankenstein” that readers should bear in mind while reading the book.

The point of view of the two stories is different because in one the inventor is the one we see deal with the invention. In the other it’s the inventor’s friend telling the story so we don’t get as much information as we would of if the inventor was telling it. Frankenstein is the story where the inventor

To first understand what creation is about, we have to know what creation is. The Bible defines creation as the action by God that brought the universe and all its contents into being. The Bible also states, "God created great whales and every living creature that moveth, and so God created man in his own image, in the
