Frankenstein, By Mary Shelly

Victor Frankenstein is a brilliant scientist who has mastered everything he has learned from his professors. However, he has never learned how to master his emotions about his creation. In Frankenstein, Mary Shelley explores the relationship between Victor and the monster to show the reader that the dynamic between the two beings happens to be two-faced. On the surface, they are hell-bent on revenge; while deep down they need each other, and more importantly, they need each other's forgiveness.

Frankenstein’s creation was lost in the world with no one who could have understood him . It felt sorrowful and unfulfilled emotions as seen in this quote. Betrayal by Victor leaves a large impact the monster carried, which, turned into a monster full of hate and dissatisfaction. Victor’s creation was not a monster , but new born baby in a grown horrific body that was not to be called his own . It becomes a monster both mentally and physically, who will be feared by all . Victor not giving him the love he needed gets the monster enraged, which leads the monster to cause series of events that affects Victor unforgivably. .

Victor Frankenstein and his creation surprisingly share many of the same characteristics. Even though Frankenstein is an ugly, unwanted creature, he and Victor withhold an obvious connection throughout the novel. However, Victor and Frankenstein also share their differences as well.

While the creature explains to Victor that he is not inherently bad, Victor chooses to see him in a much different light. The creature reveals that before the rejections that created hatred, vengeance and loneliness in him, he was kind and took into consideration his actions and how they affected others. Due to these actions, he believed that his negative emotion arose when his appearance kept him from creating close relationships. Notably, this argument demonstrates that nurture trumps nature and the creature became vengeful due to his treatment by others, originating from Victor's desertion. Victor Frankenstein on the other hand, believed that the creature was born bad and did not develop this behavior. He blames the creation of the creature on the Angel of Destruction, as if the Angel of Destruction planted a seed of evil into the very being of the creature. Thus blaming the actions of the creature on nature rather than nurture. This ideal allows him to dissociate himself from the fact that he created the creature and is responsible for the creature just as a father would be responsible for his child.

What purpose does it serve to have multiple narrators telling a story? In Mary Shelley’s gothic novel, Frankenstein, three main narrators tell the story about the creation of a monster and the events that follow. The job of narrator shifts between Robert Walton, Victor Frankenstein, and the monster that Victor creates. As each narrator shares his own recollection of the events that occurred, new facts are introduced to put the pieces of the puzzle together. Although Frankenstein uses multiple narrators to tell the story, it is important to look at the effects it might have on the stories accuracy. In this essay, I will closely examine the motives, differences, and similarities of each narrator to see what influences, if any, they have on the narrative.

“I, the miserable and the abandoned, am an abortion, to be spurned at, and kicked, and trampled on” (Shelley 224). One of the most prevalent cases in literature takes place when a work is influenced heavily by the experiences its author has endured in his or her life. This theme rings true in Frankenstein or the Modern Prometheus, in the sense that Mary Shelley’s own morose experiences with the death of her children greatly impacts the way in which she writes the story. Her authorship of Frankenstein symbolically depicts an agonizing connection between abortion and its negative effects upon the outlook of society.

In the novel Frankenstein, A Modern Prometheus by Mary Shelly conveys a warning of the potential dangers of creating a new life form, or “treading in God’s domain.” However, when Victor Frankenstein creates his monster and it comes alive he believes that he has constructed an abominable to the human race. As soon as the being wakes Frankenstein abandons it, because he cannot face or cope with his creation. Victor immediately assumes that his creature is an evil beast, but contrary to this idea the nameless creation is not evil in nature and possesses what every human has; a soul. The being may not be human but has a soul because he emits the qualities of a human being; these are the moral or emotional nature of a being or identity, the

The monster that Dr. Frankenstein did not want to be animated in such a way stating “I ought to be thy Adam, but I am rather the fallen angel.” Such experiments as conducted by the Bioquark company may bring great scientific discoveries but at what consequence, bringing back brain-dead humans who may have their memory wiped as predicted by Bioquark, seems inhumane and quite surreal to think about. Although, families would be willing to take the risk to bring back their loved ones from technical death, are they really bringing back the person that left them

Although the structure of the novel Frankenstein is focused around male protagonists, Victor Frankenstein and his "progeny," the core ideals of the novel play with the way society views the female sex. Female traces in Frankenstein uncover Mary Shelley’s views of struggles with femininity and sexuality that she perceives from society. The creature of Frankenstein altered into a "monster" because of the absence of a motherhood role in his life. The transformation that makes the creature a “monster” is how Shelley aims to point out the significance of the female role. Frankenstein acts as an analysis of the fears and anxieties of the nineteenth-century woman, which focuses on the misogynist ideals of social structures that give the male sex influence and power. Shelley uses the novel to alert society about the dangers of a maternally absent life, a life that opposes the idea of maternal support in both the home and in society.

Frankenstein impacted Victors life and others that came around. Nurture over nature is shown through his love in the novel. The community began to change when they did not accept Frankenstein, an 8ft hideous being that had bigger parts that allowed him to move faster.

Concentrating on imagination and refusing to connect with modern life is a well-known trend that individuals support. Romanticism, which started in the late 1700s, is a literary movement where people focus on thoughts and emotions instead of logic and reasoning.
