Examples Of Injustice In Frankenstein

Frankenstein by Mary Shelley tells the tale of the protagonist Victor Frankenstein and his creation. Both Frankenstein and Frankenstein’s creation’s questionable actions lead them both to be considered morally ambiguous figures. Victor is ambitious with good intentions, but his ambition leads to bad results. The Creature is an innately kind and compassionate person who commits abominable actions due to how others treat him. Their moral ambiguity is significant, as it reveals that an obsession with ambition distorts one’s morals.

After the creature is created and runs away, the creature kills his brother, William, Victor does nothing to stop Justine from facing trial. Victor says, “I believed in her innocence, I knew it. I did not for a minute doubt the demon murdered my brother…Justine was condemned” pg. 123. Victor is resentment towards the creature for putting him through so much misery and ruining his life. Victor wants to destroy the creature and blames the creature for all his problems. Victor does not help to prove Justine innocence and lets her die for his irresponsibly. Victor thinks not helping Justine was not wrong because he will destroy the monster himself. Mary Shelly gives the spiritual message of sin. People try all the time to justify their sins and give the message that if it feels right and makes one happy than nothing wrong was done. Mary Shelly wants to spread the message that the devil plays with the mind to manipulate people and sin does not change upon feelings.

How important is the theme of justice in Frankenstein. Refer closely to the creation scene and Justine's trial scene. Justice is defined as justice is the administration of law; especially : the establishment or determination of rights according to the rules of law or equity which can be interpreted as adhering to laws of both a natural and civilised level. In Frankenstein many of the fundamental laws of both humanity and the world we live in are broken. Creation in he Christian faith is a marvel that only one being or person has the right to control.

First, Victor’s irresponsibility of taking care of the creature causes the misery and torment he experiences, ultimately affecting the creature’s demeanor. Furthermore, the creature is initially good before he faces the injustice that mankind has in store for him due to his appearance. On the other hand, Victor’s desire for isolation

Frankenstein by Mary Shelley has many main ideas, whether it's about injustice, feminism, parental responsibility, the danger of too much knowledge, the cost of revenge, the relationship between man and God, etc., they all serve a certain purpose. Out of all of those main ideas, the one that sticks out the most is injustice. Injustice comes from the Latin phrase that represents “not right”, and it is the practice of being unjust or unfair (Injustice - Dictionary Definition). Throughout the book, Mary Shelley wanted to show that injustice is caused due to the fear of what is different (“Shelley, Mary - Justice and Injustice”). Many characters in this story all have different characteristics, whether it is due to their look, personality, childhood, current situations, and more. A lot of the characteristics that differ from each other have led to many injustice situations. Even though injustice might not always be bad, many examples of unnecessary injustice are shown throughout “Frankenstein” due to undeserving punishment, violating the rights of others, and unfair treatment.

In the story Frankenstein the characters have problems involving with justice or injustice. Justine is an example because she shows the true injustice in the story. The injustice is that she was accused of killing her own brother which in reality the creature was the one who murdered him. They start to accuse her for the reason that they found the locker of her mother in her pocket. Victor who is present at the trial knows the truth that she was innocent but he decided not to stand up for Justine. Since Victor failed to tell the truth of this accusation they decided that the next day they will hang

Frankenstein is a famous novel which written by English author Mary Shelley. This novel is about Dr. Frankenstein, a scientist, created a new creature from different dead bodies. After reading this excerpt novel, I discovered that there are three points I gained from, there are irresponsibility of human, justice in this world, and the victims of revenge. First of all, when I first read this novel I found that there is irresponsibility of human on it. Dr. Frankenstein who created a monster from dead bodies left him to be alone in the wood because he afraid of monster’s terrible appearance.

Revenge is one aspect that takes over in the Frankenstein story and demonstrates that all there is left is to kill one another. This is a battle between a creator and his creation, that soon becomes a hateful, evil fiend. Victor Frankenstein, the creator, suffered many experiences from this creation he has brought to life that has also ended many of his friends and families lives. This greatly impacted him throughout the story and was soon perceived as a madman from this long ever lasting misery that tormented him. The creature started to gain knowledge about his surroundings and how to learn the language of the human which enabled him to make his request to Frankenstein for happiness, “You must create a female for me with whom i can live

While forming his creation, impatience and frustration overrides Victor through his unnatural process of combining random chemicals and scraps together, since “the minuteness of the parts formed a great hindrance to [his] speed,” (Shelley 77). Because of this, he decides to go against his original plan and makes his invention “of a gigantic stature; that is to say, about seven or eight feet in height, and proportionally large" (Shelley 77). This highlights how Victor's materialistic views devalue life, as he sees his creation as only a collection of human and animal parts and gives it no true value or human worth. His vaulting ambition for success causes him to ignore what he knows deep within to be morally wrong and continues to make the creature anyway, without caring for it in any shape or form. This is ironic, since Victor at first reckoned that it is “in [the parents’] hands to direct to happiness or misery” to the “The innocent and helpless creature bestowed on them by heaven” (Chapter 1, Paragraph 6). By contradicting his original values, this displays the negative consequences of scientific materialism in becoming superior to one’s morals and beliefs. Because of Victor's actions, the creature essentially embodies the omission of infancy and childhood (Yousef). The result, a monstrous external representation of existential internal

He tells Elizabeth to go to bed for the night because he didn’t want her to see the fight between him and his creation. He was searching the cottage when all of a sudden he hears the blood curdling screams of Elizabeth. It was at this moment that he realized that he wasn't the intended target to the creature. The target was his only source of joy, Elizabeth. On top of that his father died a few days later. Victor dedicates the rest of his life to destroy this

The novel denounces and attacks, somehow, the hubris of the creator of the beast who turns into monster himself, becoming a victim of his own creation. His desire to go beyond the human restrictions through his skills as scientist, let him generate a monster which is considered repugnant even from Victor, its creator. The creature, whose soul is (originally) good, is innocent and sensitive to the beauty of nature and is forced to run away into the woods, where he learns to survive, but also to read and write. Although the monster starts assuming human behavior, he feels rejected by society, because of its monstrosity (the author emphasizes the theme of appearance) and he goes to his creator, asking for a mate, to escape loneliness. Victor refuses to make the same mistake for the second time and the monster turns into a cruel

The creature is a lonely individual who is rejected by every person he comes in contact with. His lack of nurture and positive social interaction causes him to become violent and seek revenge on Victor, the person he deems responsible for his miserable existence. Victor believes that the creature was evil from the time of his creation and does not find fault in himself. He refers to him as an “abhorred monster and fiend” (Shelley 93). Likewise, the creature argues that he would not be such a wretch if he had not been rejected by his creator.

The same may be said about the readers.
