From reading through chapter 10, and reading about Frankenstein and his encounter with his monster, I think they both have some good points. Clearly they both regret decisions that they have made. Frankenstein regrets creating the monster. The monster regrets hurting the people that he did. But they both want to make good from what happened, at least the monster kind of does, Frankenstein at the first encounter really just wants to kill the monster, to get rid of anything that could remind him of the mistake that he made, creating a monster. When Frankenstein first saw the monster his words were this, “Devil, do you dare approach me? And do not you fear the fear suspensions of my arm weekend on your miserable head? Be gone, vile insect! Or

A lot of interesting things happen in these two chapters. First, Alex gets manipulated into spending New Year’s Eve at the nursing home, with Laurie. When Laurie asks about Alex’s sentence and how much time he has left, and Sol hears, things go wrong. Sol becomes very agitated with Alex about how he was just a punishment (then more mad when he learns what Alex did). Laurie later attempts to convince Alex to go back to the home, but he doesn’t and they sleep at his house. In Chapter 12, Alex’s dad gets reintroduced when his parents reveal to Alex that they are back together (even after, according to Alex, spending twelve months and $30,000 fighting each other in court).
1. Robert Walton is the captain of a ship on an expedition to the North Pole. He has been keeping in touch with his sister through letters. Not long after the start of his expedition his ship is caught in ice that has formed on the top of the ocean. It is here that he and his crew first meet Victor Frankenstein.
The fourth reason that suggests that they are true friends was in season three when Emma had just discovered her powers and did not know how to use or control them, the evil witch Zelena had arrived to Story Brook. Emma goes to Regina for help and she accepts, taking her to train Regina challenges her, successfully pushing Emma to use her magic and help defeat Zelena, even though Regina and Zelena are sisters. Also in season four Emma sacrifices herself to the darkness to save Regina. She acknowledges that Regina has worked too hard to have her happiness destroyed and she allows the darkness to take her instead, becoming the Dark One, when this happens Regina comes forward as the savior, covering for Emma and also trying to find a way to bring
“My mother can make me feel good just by walking into the room” Chapter 3, pg 36 This relates to the book because it shows that Percy loves her so much as she has been the only parental figure in his life growing up. “Young man, names are powerful things. You don’t go around using them for no reason.” Chapter 5, pg 69
In Shelley’s Frankenstein, the monster is portrayed as a grotesque abomination. However, as Hopkins states in Contending Forces, the cultural and geographical situations, or lack thereof, in which one matures in play a crucial role in the proper development of one’s mind and brain. The monster is simply a product of circumstance. The lack of social interactions alongside geographical isolation propelled the daemon to be alienated from society, ultimately resulting in a lack of morals and an underdeveloped psyche. By being a culmination of his surroundings and experiences it is revealed that the true monstrous entities are the factors that leave the daemon predisposed to fail in a modern society. Arguably, Victor created a being, while the circumstances that said being was placed in “created” a monster. Shelley purposefully terrorizes the monster with such intensity to provoke and justify the overarching theme in this novel which states that people should not be judged on their physical appearance.
In Frankenstein, Mary Shelley, explores the concept of humanity through distinguishing it from that of a demonic nature. This is done through a constant doubling between her two superficially opposing characters throughout the novel. Through the thematic use of nature, knowledge, wretchedness, and vengeance, sometimes as direct comparisons other times as striking contrasts, Shelley blurs the lines between human and demon within her own characters.
Now the final facet to discuss is the tragic outcome of the monstrous isolation Frankenstein and the Monster suffer--their demise. It is a twofold blow of a personal inability to escape isolation’s grasp coupled with zero chance of outside help because of the isolation that sends both inexorably to expiry. The Monster simply wants to, “become an actor in the busy scene where so many admirable qualities were called forth and displayed,” (130) due to the lesson he learns from the cottagers but from which he is totally excluded. So a solitary solution to his troubles is not possible to begin with. Unfortunately, in his life long search for inclusion, he is turned away from first his creator then the rest of his chance encounters with humanity due only to his monstrous form that no one could imagine could contain any human capacity for friendship, which his unnatural birth imbued him with. Even his plea for a second like him is eventually rebuked by Frankenstein, the one man most likely and farthest from helping him. His isolation truly sealed, the Monster is left with no purpose but to dedicate his life to torturing humanity and his creator, which leads Frankenstein to kill himself, leaving him nothing but the solace of death. For Frankenstein, it is not so simple. To begin, it is his guilt, as if for a crime, for being the man to “[turn] loose into the world a depraved wretch, whose delight was in carnage and misery,” (78) that haunts his every waking thought. Frankenstein’s
I had just left my father’s funeral. I was wondering where my brother Victor was. He was not at the funeral; could he just have been at home? Why would he miss our father’s funeral. So I got in my carriage and rode home. Victor was not at home. So I went to ask the people in Geneva. One woman told me that victor had left for the Arctic. I asked myself: Why would Victor leave for the Arctic? I realized that I had no family member left, I was all alone. All the money and property was supposed to go to victor because he was the oldest son. But now since he is not here to inherit it, the money was all mine. I being a teenager thought that throwing a party would be fun. But then I thought let me get settled and used to this empty home. I
If one were to create a dog out of clay, that dog would have no way of becoming more alive than its creator, for it is made of clay. As the creator of the monster, Victor Frankenstein is seen as more human than his creation. However, Frankenstein's actions persuade the reader to believe he doesn’t have the human characteristics of being sane and rational. Frankenstein does not create his monster to be like himself, but instead makes him hideous and repulsive to other humans. This , leads him to reject his own creation as well. Frankenstein is more inhuman than the monster, because of the comparison of their characteristics and personality.
After his long tale, the Creature finally explains his ultimate goal in approaching Frankenstein: “You must create a female for me. With whom I can live in the interchange of those sympathies necessary for my being. This you alone can do; and I demand it of you as a right which you must not refuse” (Shelley 137). The Creature sees this female companion as his only chance to return to a benevolent state; he needs this female creature to sympathize with him and his experiences, among other possibilities that Frankenstein insinuates but are not directly expressed by the Creature. After listening to the Creature’s demand, Frankenstein “compassionated” the Creature but does attempt to revert back to his view of the Creature as possibly no more than “a filthy mass”(140).
In Mary Shelley´s Gothic novel, Frankenstein, the Monster once claimed, “The fallen angel becomes a malignant devil. Yet even that enemy of God and man had friends and associates in his desolation; I am alone.” Frankenstein, since the 1910 film adaptation, has known a series of several adaptations that changed drastically, not only the plot but one of the main characters, the Monster, from stealing its creator´s name to being portrayed as a cold villain. Though, in the original storyline, the biggest threat to society is the creator itself, the one pretending to play as God, Victor Frankenstein. This essay will discuss the nature of the main characters of the novel and conclude who is the “real monster” in the end.
Most people when thinking about Frankenstein’s monster they think of this ugly, horrible monster that will never be accepted into their society. Or that he, the monster, doesn’t understand what they are saying about him. And unlike everyone else he “doesn’t have feelings”. And at the time victor Frankenstein, the creator, thought that he was doing something good. Or something extraordinary, that no one has ever done which is true, but this could ruin his life. Because he is afraid of losing this life or his loved ones lives he agrees with the monster to make him a female companion, but does this mean endangerment for everyone?
There are different types of monsters in the world one could be afraid of. There are those real monsters that do look like a stereotypical beast and then there are those humans that act like a stereotypical monster, in regards of being emotionally impacted. In Frankenstein by Mary Shelley, the scientist Victor Frankenstein who creates the monster, is actually the real monster. “Frankenstein” is a frame story where Captain Robert Walton boat gets stuck due to an iceberg and see a man in the cold, science lover Victor Frankenstein. Frankenstein then meets Walton and tells him the story of how he ended up on the iceberg. Throughout the story Frankenstein’s experiment of trying to bring the dead back to life is showcased. Unfortunately, Frankenstein's
What is a monster, really? Is it really a Creature that has three eyes instead of two, with pus seeping out of every crevice in his face and an abnormally large form? Or is it someone with a mind so corrupt it rivals that of Satan? Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein is a story within a story that centers on the tale of a man with an immense thirst of knowledge and a fetish to imitate the Creator. Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein is a lot like the Greek mythological tale of the Greek God, Prometheus, and his brother, Epimetheus, who were assigned the task of creating man. The story captivates the theme of monstrosity. Mary Shelley wrote the novel in a form so the reader’s opinions never stray far from sympathy for the monster and apathy for Victor
