Examples Of Appearance In Frankenstein

   Mary Shelley's novel, Frankenstein, sheds light on the importance of appearance through the tale of an unwanted creation that is never given a chance by society. Ironically, the supposed beast was initially much more compassionate and thoughtful than his creator, until his romantic and innocent view of the human race was diminished by the cruelty and injustice he unduly bore. Not only does the creature suffer the prejudice of an appearance-based society, but other situations and characters in the novel force the reader to reflect their own hasty judgment. The semi- gothic novel includes several instances of societal prejudice that include the isolation and outcast of Frankenstein's creation,

The writer uses this quote to show that the creator, in this case Victor Frankenstein, is the first to reject the monster as he rushes out of the room. Victor had worked day and night trying to create an individual that would be and would look like a human. Once Victor had finished creating this monster he realized how not human-like the monster was and decided to reject him as the book states: “I had desidered it with an ardour that far exceeded moderation; but now that I had finished the beauty of the dream vanished, and breathless horror filled my heart”.. This

Another similarity in the novel Frankenstein and today's society is that of snap judgments based solely on appearances. Doctor Frankenstein himself does this throughout the book. He shows this when he "...selected his [the creature's] features as beautiful." (Shelley 46). This shallowness is shown again when he accuses the monster of the murder of William's murder, rightfully of course, but the point is that he accused the monster of a horrible deed just because of his horrible appearance. Even the monster makes snap judgments, in the case of the cottagers he viewed the old man as a man with "...a countenance beaming with benevolence and love," (Shelley 93). This was

In Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein we are introduced early in the story to one of the main characters Victor Frankenstein and subsequently to his creation referred to as the monster. The monster comes to life after being constructed by Victor using body parts from corpses. As gruesome as this sounds initially we are soon caught up in the tale of the living monster. Victor the creator becomes immediately remorseful of his decision to bring the monstrous creation to life and abandons the borne creature. Victor describes his emotions and physical description of his creation as follows:

In this quote the monster is telling Victor that if he does the right thing, there will be no more terror brought into his life. Following this, the monster tells Victor his life story and how he is truly a lonely and sad

The topic of appearance and judgment is greatly exemplified in Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein as it becomes apparent that

The monster was always judged on the way he looked which made him the outcast because he was not normal in the human’s eyes. By using this in depth character interplay, Shelley further expands upon the monster archetype and allows the reader to question who truly is the monster inside of Frankenstein.

     Romantic writer Mary Shelley’s gothic novel Frankenstein does indeed do a lot more than simply tell story, and in this case, horrify and frighten the reader. Through her careful and deliberate construction of characters as representations of certain dominant beliefs, Shelley supports a value system and way of life that challenges those that prevailed in the late eighteenth century during the ‘Age of Reason’. Thus the novel can be said to be challenging prevailant ideologies, of which the dominant society was constructed, and endorsing many of the alternative views and thoughts of the society. Shelley can be said to be influenced by her mothers early feminist views, her father’s

Victor was crying because inside he was falling apart, but at the same time the world around him was perfect. The descriptions and natural beauty of the world in Frankenstein help make the theme of appearances.The theme of appearance is most evident in the novel because of the monster’s struggle with his appearance. Throughout the novel the monster is tormented for his looks, but no one takes the time to get to know him as a person. The monster is so hideous even when he does good deeds he is still looked at as evil, “This was then the reward of my benevolence! I had saved a human being from destruction, and as a recompense I now writhed under the miserable pain of a wound which shattered the flesh and bone. The feelings of kindness and gentleness which I had entertained but a few moments before gave place to hellish rage and gnashing of teeth. Inflamed by pain, I vowed eternal hatred and vengeance to all mankind. But the agony of my wound overcame me; my pulses paused, and I fainted” (Shelley 103). The monster is just walking and notices a girl and she falls in the river, the monster jumps in and saves her and a man comes up and grabs the girl then shoots the monster. The guy that shot him judged the monster by his looks and automatically looked at him as evil. This is how his good deed is repaid. The monster meant no harm he just wanted to help. From this point on in the novel the monster is seeking revenge

   In the novel Frankenstein, written by Mary Shelley, the characters have been portrayed effectively. Much of the interactions between characters, and characteristics of the characters have been based on events which have occurred in Shelley's own life, or they represent what she believes is important. For example, Victor is portrayed as having a strong passion for science, and a poor understanding of relationships. Elizabeth is shown as a stereotypical woman of the time, who is also very powerless. The monster is depicted as being both beautiful and ugly, and someone who the reader feels sympathetic towards. Through the portrayal of her characters, Shelley has created a very effective

While Shelley claims the lack of acceptance and harsh treatment by society can create a monster out of even the most kind-hearted people, Wilde suggests that people can be overly influenced by society, or at least a subset of it, and develop warped morals. Shelley creates a man, Victor Frankenstein, who assembles body parts of dead humans to create a new living being. This being looks physically repulsive with its “yellow skin” and “straight black lips” (Shelley 35). After the monster is designed, its creator, Frankenstein, abandons the monster. The monster is clueless in all aspects of society: basic language, daily life, and human interaction are foreign to the monster and leave it helpless, like a newborn child.

From hundreds of years until now, there are many serious issues concerning human interactions that have been discussed in different ways and can be seen in countless pieces of work such as the novel Frankenstein by Mary Shelley. In this novel, Shelley wrote about various themes that are significant in understanding the concept of fitting in with society and human interactions with one another and with ones’ self. She was trying to get across important themes that are still relevant today, including the theme of physical appearance. The theme of physical appearance is shown many times in the novel and illustrates how people are judged and discriminated according to how they look and the consequences it may have on individuals. Physical appearance is the way a person looks and the features

Often, one’s perception is their reality; while something may be positive and beautiful, no one will ever convince you it is if you perceive it as harmful or negative. This is evident in Mary Shelly’s famous novel, Frankenstein.
