Frankenstein Conflict Analysis

As a result, this can lead to disobedience and unethical acts that can result in violence. This is shown within the book. That due to the lack of basic needs, the “monster” kills William, the brother of Victor.  What led to his shameful phase, was the painful feeling of humiliation or distress caused by the consciousness of wrong. That he knew that he killed William, but due to Victor actions and behaviors of Mistrust, his only way to learn was to demonstrate violence. The monster states, “I grasped his throat to silence him, and in a moment he lay dead at my feet… clapping my hands, my enemy is not impregnable.” This offers some evidence on why he continued the murder, he wanted to deeply hurt the person that forsaked him. He wanted to have pride, rather than shame, but it was inevitable.

She was later executed for the crime that she did not do. Victor has so much guilt inside knowing what is happening to the people he cared about the most. This guilt drives Victor insane to pressuring himself into suicide. Though he does not commit it for the love of his father and primarily for the love of his Elizabeth that keep him strong. Victor than decides to leave town and go on a special trip to ease and relax his mind at Montanvert. When he is on the mountain, he realizes that the monster had followed him and was coming at a full speed upon him. Victor yells to the monster to leave him alone but the monster only wants to talk and explain to him of his life experiences after he came to life and fled from Victor’s home. The monster speaks of how the people have reaction of fear towards him. The monster ends up spying on a family, stealing their food, and understanding how they talk to each other. He learns their language and their names to help progress in his understanding of the people. The monster realizes that they are living in poverty and decides to do the right thing and stop stealing their food and actually help them by bringing them wood late at night for their

Victor thought “for this I had deprived myself of rest and health. I had desired it with an ardour that far exceeded moderation; but now that I had finished, the beauty of the dream vanished, and breathless horror and disgust filled my heart”(page). This quote demonstrates that once Victor had concluded his work of creating the monster, he realized that it may have been a huge mistake. He was not satisfied with his creation instead he was filled with terror. In result of his realization, he left the monster to fend for himself and suffer. Victor shows an evil side of himself by abandoning the monster and leaving him to be universally shunned by society. By Victor doing this one evil act, it causes the monster himself to go off and initiate evil acts of his own.

Victor endangers people by not warning them about the creature. When Henry Clerval arrives in Ingolstadt, Victor explains his haggard appearance by telling him that he has been too “deeply engaged in one occupation” (88) to allow himself sufficient rest. He does not tell Henry any details about this occupation because he cannot bear to think about his creature. When Victor invites Henry to his apartment, he “[dreads] to behold this monster; but [he fears] still more that Henry should see him” (88). This shows that he is more concerned about Henry finding out how he has been spending his time than he is about his own safety. He does not want to tell his secret to his very close friend. For this reason, Victor makes Henry wait at the bottom of the stairs while he checks his apartment for the creature. Shortly after they enter the apartment, Victor becomes ill. His illness lasts several months. Since he is the only person who knows about the creature’s existence, there is nobody who can search for it while he is ill. During Victor’s illness, William Frankenstein, his youngest brother, is murdered by the monster. Although the

As Victors brother was killed by the creature he created, the remourse victor and his father have towards his death show weakness. Men in society are conditioned to be brought up as brave and protective. While Victors father is letting the death of

As the reader digs deep into the novel, it becomes clear that the monster started his life in a state of innocence. However, he soon acquired language and learned that life truly was a competition. He needed to fend for himself. He needed to gain skills and figure out how to survive. But the creature soon learned of his capabilities. He could strike fear into anyone who laid eyes on him. He could also kill any human being that decided to cross his path. So after learning that life was genuinely grueling for him, the monster desired to escape his life of solitude. He approached Victor demanding a lady creature. When Victor eventually refuses to create this creature for the monster, he finally collects all of the power he possesses and decides to turn against Victor for ruining the only hope that the monster had in life. From that point on, the monster uses his physical power to wreck havoc on Victor’s life in every way possible. Without the physical power that Victor gave him when he was created, the novel would not have been so full of hatred and anger. Most importantly, his physical strength and power was the reason this novel was so gruesome and terrifying. It brought an end to many lives, including Victor’s

Rather than just killing Victor, however, the monster decides to kill his loved ones. The death of a potential companion in the world incites the monster to create even more death.

The monster is not faultless for the awful things that he has done. He kills three of the people that his creator was very close to including his adopted sister Elizabeth. Losing these people is very hard on Victor. The loss makes Victor so distraught that, “he calls the spirits of the dead” (179) to help him make the monster feel the pain of loss that he feels. In addition to killing those close to Victor, the monster destroys the house of the De Lacey’s with fire and then “dances with fury around the devoted cottage (123). Additionally, the monster appears to like the trouble and anguish that he is able to trigger in Victor: “your sufferings will satisfy my everlasting hatred” (181), the monster writes

Victor, after being convinced to create a female companion for the monster, realizes that this will only create double the amount of destruction, he then makes the choice to discontinue his project to prevent more devastation. Instead of less damage resulting from this choice it only brings more harm to his life and everyone around him. First, his good friend Henry Clerval is murdered by the beast and Victor is accused of this murder, “The human frame could no longer support the agonies that I endured, and I was carried out of the room in strong convulsions.” (Shelley 129). This was Victor’s reaction upon seeing Henry’s corpse and demonstrates how deeply his pursuit for knowledge affects him. Even though he is later released on circumstantial evidence, he will be scarred for life knowing that he responsible for yet another death. Given that Victor destroyed the monster’s only hope of having someone else like him in the world; the monster swears revenge and that he will return on Victor’s wedding night. Victor misinterpreted this warning and instead of the monster attacking Victor, his creation attacked and

It it conflict that controls the life of Victor Frankenstein in Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein - his relationships, work, and even his own thoughts are rife with it. Conflict between Victor and Elizabeth, Victor and Clerval, and the Creature are what drive the events of this film - conflict is integral to the plot, the development of characters, and conflict is what shows the director’s purpose, warning the viewer of the dangers of obsession.

The monster makes allusion to the Bible arguing that he should have a companion just like Adam in the Bible rather being treated like a fallen angel. Being his creator, the monster had no one else to look up to during such occasions. Coexisting with humans, the monster also wanted to experience love just like any other ordinary person. All that the monster asked was understanding and acknowledgment that he deserves better than what his creator was willing to offer. The monster violence attitude to his creator and all those Victor holds dear solidifies where he places love among its scale of choices. It is evident that it is the absence of love that prompts the monster to act wild and even commit murder in extreme situations. All this leads to the deaths of Victor’s brother, their house worker and his to be wedded bride who have all killed the monster in the quest for revenge. The monster had spent time with the De Lacey family and was well acquainted with the value of love in a social construct. It is through love that people tend to comfort, console, and enjoy the fun together in a manner that is barely dictated by what unfold in our environs and everyday lives. Interestingly, Victor’s love for Elizabeth almost drove him nuts after learning that the monster had killed the bride during the wedding day. This forms the climax of the plays after Victor sets out to search for the monster and this

And Victor becomes obsessed with making someone come back to life. It is especially common for people to question their place when they lose a loved one. Victor making ‘life’ as it were, is probably a way for him to cope with the loss of his mother. He spends forever doing research, finding bones and muscle tissues. And then, he finally has enough to make his ‘person’. After the process of making the Monster, Victor looks at it and is horrified by its dreadful appearance. His eyes are a dull yellow and paralyzed Victor with fear. He wants to destroy the creature but is not sure how and instead flees his apartment. The Monster departs from the apartment before Victor returns and wanders around

Then his creation all suddenly turns on Victor killing everything he is dear too in the name of vengeance. The monster eventually murders three people in cold blood as well as one indirectly. First Williams’s brother who is accidently strangled to death. With the death of William the monster framed the servant Justine by placing a picture of William in her pocket. Justin was then executed for the unjust murder of William. Sadly Elizabeth, Frankenstein’s cousin and new wife on the wedding night. He also kills a good friend of Frankenstein’s Henry Clerval. The deaths of these innocent people were a result of the monsters revenge on Victor. The monster is seeking this revenge on the doctor because he did not want to be brought into this world especially looking like he did. Another key point that this book beings forth is why human beings should not try to play God and artificially create a being in a laboratory. When Victor creates a bride for the monster he decides to kill her before the monster can have a companion. Victor can’t give the monster what he wants not after what the monster did to his family.

Victor didn’t kill the creature or his family. Instead, the creature and his family promised to be good and not do anything evil. Victor and Elizabeth let them live with them in their mansion since they have so much room. At the end of the day there was a big happy family in a big, big

It was Victor who created the Monster for his personal goal to achive something big, in this case life. After realizing waht he has brought into the world, he aboned his creation the minute he was created and wanted nothing to do with him. The Monster then realizes this and vows revenge upon his creator, Victor, by showing him the suffering that he has tolerated. Furthermore, the betrayal of the Monster’s own creator causes him to behave innaproprotly. (Transition word) it only took Victor mere seconds to reject his creation at the realisation of his misfortunate deed. Instead of assuming respunsibility for his mistake, Victor chooses to run away which only aggravates the Monster. After this, he obviously cannot help but feel abandoned and betrayed by the clear distate and revulsion in Victor’s actions. This forces the monster to either live in dolitude without Vivtor, or to not live at all. The Monster’s choice was obvious, he wanted more than anything to live. Victor’s abandonement of the Monster and refusing him to be part of a family was a devastating realisation for him. It made the monster realize how wretched and unwanted he was, thus provoking and loosing all self confidence and all hope that he may once have had. Therefore, encouraging the Monstr to evolve in a savage way. Ultimitaly leading him to be rejected by
