Comparing Monster And Villains

What defines a monster? Is it their grotesque, unnatural appearance that separates them from the rest of mankind, or is it their lack of remorse and compassion that makes them different? The word monster conjures up figures from gothic horror of exotic peoples with horrifyingly exaggerated features, and the kinds of impossible delusive beasts inhabiting the pages of medieval bestiaries. Well at first I thought exactly that. When I used to hear the word “monster”, my mind immediately pictured the petrifying beast that took residence under my bed for a substantial portion of my childhood. It had demonic beating red eyes, razor sharp teeth that glistened with fresh blood and amphibian like scales covering every inch of its enormous body. However, as I got older, I started to realize that there was no such thing as monsters and that it was all just a figment of my imagination. Accordingly, the fear of the monster under my bed slowly dissipated. Nevertheless, it wasn’t until after reading a quote by my favorite author, Steven King, that I was finally able to fully comprehend what the true definition of the word “monster” really was. “Monsters are real, ghosts are real too. They live inside us, and sometimes they win”. It had taken me awhile to truly grasp what King had meant, but then it clicked. Everyone has a monster inside them, dormant or not. That monster is the voice we hear in the back of our heads, urging us to cheat or to steal, and in some instances, worse. That monster

What would the world be without villains? What would become of all of the people who are very heroic, but have no way to prove it? That is where villains come in. A villain is a malicious person who is involved in or devoted to wickedness Ursula from Disney's The Little Mermaid is a villain, but the Sirens from Homer’s Odyssey exhibit more evilness by tricking people, killing people, and being clever.

What is a villain? Is it a boulder of hate in a sea of kindness, or a person whose heart and world are filled with darkness? A villain is a person who wants to hurt others or do bad things. The god of the sea, Poseidon from the Odyssey, by Homer and President Snow from the Hunger Games, by Suzanne Collins could both be considered villains. President Snow is a greater villain because of his cruelty, selfishness, and him being uncooperative.

Imagine one day, all the electric source devices you have suddenly shut off, what would you do? In Rod Serling’s 1960 teleplay,” The Monsters are due on Maple Street “and 2003 teleplay,” The Monsters on Maple Street “, the characters have a power outage and they’re all confused about what is happening. Throughout the two stories, the characters try to find a solution of why and what is causing all of this. But then the people start to blame others, accusing him/ she is doing this.

Many people will answer that a monster is greed, hatefulness, a wrathful god, or the opposing political party. However, once one boils down all of the different "monsters" of society, one major factor is left; the people. Humanity's monsters are just meagre attempts at answering why the world is "bad." Why their world is bad. The only monsters that exist in today's society are the ones that humans create themselves, which means, the real monsters may actually just be,

At first glance, the monster in Frankenstein is a symbol of evil, whose only desire is to ruin lives. He has been called "A creature that wreaks havoc by destroying innocent lives often without remorse. He can be viewed as the antagonist, the element Victor must overcome to restore balance and tranquility to the world." But after the novel is looked at on different levels, one becomes aware that the creature wasn't responsible for his actions, and was just a victim of circumstance. The real villain of Frankenstein isn't the creature, but rather his creator, Victor.

There are many people and characters who are villains. Villains usually have cruel and selfish actions. The most commonly known villains are from disney movies. For example, Mother Gothel from Tangled is a villain. Two other villains are Maleficent and Scar from the Lion King.

Every story has its hero and villain. Some authors’ works easily clarify the debate between which character is the ultimate protagonist or the antagonist, but sometimes the author tries to toy with readers’ minds. Similarly, Frankenstein’s author, Marry Shelley is one of the authors who is not straightforward about who is the villain in her novel. In Frankenstein, both the Monster and Victor Frankenstein could be considered the villains in the book. Doctor Victor Frankenstein is an alchemist who is obsessed with creating life from the dead. He creates the green creature, also given the name Frankenstein, who is portrayed as the Monster in Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein. Dr. Frankenstein’s complete disregard for mortal beings, obsession with becoming a God, and his self-centeredness throughout the novel are all good evidence to why he – Dr. Victor Frankenstein plays the role of the villain in the story.

All these years the world has seen the monster in frankenstein as the antagonist in the book. Honestly if you truly look at it and and look at how the monster was treated he was actually not the bad guy. If the monster was treated like everyone else he could've of been a big help but instead was judge how his appearance and how he physically looked instead of how he acted emotionally. All the monster wanted was to fit in but humans would not allow that to happen which brought out his evil side.although the monster was abandoned,not the most attractive person,murdered out of revenge,and he is still not the bad guy but instead is the human their self since they allowed this to happen.

Everyone has good and bad traits, I think monsters can have good and bad traits too. However I think a lot of people struggle with their own inner monsters, which is a good representation of the monsters we have come across in our myths. People struggle to fight these monsters, figuratively and literally, especially in our myths. I think if our human nature shifted to actually acknowledging our own monsters we could do more in battle to defeat. It takes a lot of strength in people not to lie to themselves, and to admit to themselves that they need help. Just like in our myths, if the warrior needs help fighting a monster it’s hard for him or her to admit to it. Monsters will always be around in life but you can’t let them defeat you. Try to focus on the positives of a monster instead of the negatives, even though monsters are seen as negative. A lot dealing with life’s monsters is just making sure to get in the right mind set and realize you shouldn’t worry about things you can’t change. Some people just have bad human nature, and are judgmental but that doesn’t mean you also have to

Good people do bad things. Doing a bad thing does not make someone a monster. For example, if a young boy was raised in the ghetto where he and his family never had enough to eat he might have to steal to get for his family. Even though he has done something illegal and immoral that does not make him a bad person. He was just doing what he had to do to get his family food to eat. Even if he kills someone in the process of sealing the food it does not make him a monster. This kid just made a bad choice in an awful situation but he made the choice for the right reason, to feed his family. Victor Frankenstein’s creation, the “monster”, was not all bad. The made some bad choices because of how he was created and how he was treated by Victor after he was created.

Frankenstein's true character and the way he is perceived are so different. Frankenstein is seen as an abomination and a horrifying monster and only as a horrifying monster. Monsters are viewed as evil scary creatures. On the other hand, Frankenstein feels more human than a monster. He wants to be included and accepted into the society he lives in, but people don't accept him because they are afraid. In the excerpt, Frankenstein said “ ...I trust that, by your aid, I shall not be driven from the society and sympathy of your fellow creatures.” The creatures he is talks about are the humans he is saying with help from his creator or father, he has hope that he can be accepted one day into that society. A monster would not try to get the peoples

The word monster has a negative connotation to it and usually refers to something that is evil in nature. In chapters ten and eleven of Mary Shelley’s novel Frankenstein, Victor is shown to be more monstrous that his creature.

To be considered a monster the character must possess an appalling appearance or personality. Monsters have heavily been prevalent throughout human history, striking fear into the hearts of people for centuries. In Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein and Bram Stoker’s Dracula Frankenstein’s monster and Dracula possess appalling personalities and exterior that attributes to their own unique monstrosity. They are both iconic monsters that have terrified people around the world for ages. However, they are two very different creatures; for instance Frankenstein is a monster because he is shunned by society for his grotesque appearance. Dracula is a monster because he feasts upon the living for

Monsters, the creatures of the night who prey on our fear. The ones who have no sense of emotion and lack the ability to show remorse. The big, the bad, and the ugly that lurks within all of us. The term “monster” has been around for centuries, throughout the years the view on monsters has changed, but the one thing that has stayed the same is the fact that we have always viewed them as something negative. We view monsters as evil and scary. Personally, I think of blood and murder when I hear the word monster. A monster brings out our darkest and weakest sides, whether it’s the anger that they cause or the fear they bring upon us. The term monster can be defined in many different ways, depending on how we view them, but I feel like the
