Is Victor Frankenstein Alone

It’s because the monster is filled up with overwhelming hate and anger because there is no one out there like him. The more he killed Victor's loved ones, the more attention the creature received from Victor. Eventually he had killed everyone close to Victor and had gained Victor's full attention, when Victor vowed to do everything within his "power to seize the monster” (190). Now both Victor and the creature had no one to love, only one person to seek revenge from.

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.

Isolation is the seperation from others whether it is emotionally or physically. Throughout Frankenstein this became a issue where they tried to destroy each other. Frankenstein creation is the most obvious victim who suffers alienation, but Victor himself suffer isolation, yet the creature suffer from defection of society due to being rejected and not accepted by others. However, isolation led to Victor and the creatures self destruction.

Humans are not meant to live in isolation. It has been known that human beings thrive and flourish in groups; we feed off of each other. Victor Frankenstein’s story began with subtle details of his education and childhood throughout the years; he progressively isolated himself from his loved ones. "I threw myself into the chaise that was to convey me away and indulged in the most melancholy reflections. I, who had ever been surrounded by amiable companions, continually engaged in endeavoring to bestow mutual pleasure-I was now alone. In the university whither I was going I must form my own friends and be my own protector." (Shelley 1818: pg44) The segregated Victor is void of multiple points of view, and the way he approaches his education, now substantially more engaged and practically fanatical.

This incident led the monster to become revengeful and hurt Victor and anyone who comes in his way of doing so. The monster vows for this after suffering alienation for a long time. Isolation had a different effect on both of the characters. It seemed as if though both character switched roles because Victor becomes lonely just like the monster was and the monster becomes obsessed with getting his revenge. The monster had deemed himself to being very deserving of a

Throughout Mary Shelly’s novel Frankenstein we come across several seemingly different themes, however they analytically revolve around two central ideas. As it comes up in the book, the two major themes that clearly correspond are solitude and insanity. Victors’ voluntary solitude allowed him to pursue his passions in science, but more importantly distorted his sense of morality. Thus validating the statement that solitude is what ultimately led to Victors’ insanity.

Later in the book we learn to understand that the creature becomes violent. This is resulting from any encounters that the monster has had with people. When he soon learns the rejection of him by people, he becomes violent and sets out to kill Victor his creature. As the monster stumbles upon a young boy in a forest he plans to kidnap him, so that he would have someone to love. When he figures out that this is

Loneliness most commonly describes a state where someone is in the absence of another person. This is not always true, a person can be filled with interactions and be in the company of many people and still feel lonely. The same comments can be made for isolation. When a person is subject to an extended period of isolation they are prone to depression which would sink them further into the lonely state. Being lonely, idle, and absent from society can cause a person great mental strain and internal conflict. These conflicts would eventually lead to a mental condition.

Frankenstein’s intentions for this creature he would be creating displayed a certain characteristic in his personality that makes readers wonder if he was capable of truly finding happiness in his life. Isolation and companionship are characteristics that foil each other and could be seen in characters, events, and other aspects of the book. Mary Shelley incorporated them to create a certain feeling towards the characters in the book. The feeling of companionship verses isolation was common throughout the story.

The monster believed that Victor would accept him, but after he realized that not only did Victor not want to assume his position in the monster’s life, but society also rejected him, it became a transitory thought, and instead became replaced with his bloodthirst towards Victor and his loved ones, which he knew would hurt way worse than just killing him; making him lonely like himself. Both Victor and the monster partook in horrid acts, in which held horrendous actions; the main one being Victor creating the monster in the first place which in result caused the both of them heartbreak, loneliness, and pain. If Victor wouldn’t have created the monster, then his life would not be filled with so much grief and emptiness; Victor is the true monster, although they are both the primal protagonists as much as they are the antagonists because of the display of the emotions they both portray as lamenting humans/monsters, and the power they give to nature in order to destroy one another. Victor used nature to his advantage, although it was wrong; Victor used nature to create and destroy the monster; he used the

This theme of solitude continuously surfaces in the novel Frankenstein, written by Mary Shelley. Solitude affects the characters, specifically the Victor Frankenstein and the creature that, he creates, in a negative way. Solitude ultimately reflects the characteristics that the characters might have intended to stay hidden. It questions their morals and induces them

Mary Shelley suffered through difficult experiences as a child growing up; having to deal with death, loss, and loneliness. Shelley’s novel, Frankenstein, has demonstrated an impact on me because of the way Mary Shelley created the role of the monster to be dettached from happiness. In reality, no one likes to feel alone and we avoid the emptiness by occupying ourselves hoping to forget about our problems. In this case, Shelley wrote a book, depicting alienation in order to refrain from her problems. Society comes with expectations and rules, and sometimes people don’t meet those requirements.

     The monster is created towards the beginning of the story as a middle-aged creature. He may be characterized as manipulating, and intelligent, and from kind by nature to malevolent. He is a round character, is described as being eight feet tall, and simply hideous. The monster kills Victor?s younger brother, friends, and lover, and does not stop until Victor himself is ruined and killed. He may easily be considered Victor?s downfall. The monster is never named, so he is referred to as his description, a monster or a daemon. He wants, more than anything, a companion. The monster tells Victor, ?You are my creator, but I am your master? (116) after his heart turns cold from lack of love.

Many times a person can be surrounded by many people and still be lonely on the inside. When people think of the word lonely or loneliness, we tend to picture someone sitting by themselves all alone. Being lonely not only means to be isolated, but it is defined in other ways also. Loneliness can be defined as having sadness because one has no company or being unfrequented or remote—isolation. A person could be isolated from people and still not be lonely, or a person could be in a group of people and feel like the loneliest human-being on earth. Sometimes people try so hard not to be lonely that they begin to make themselves more miserable by forcing themselves to feel happy.

The consequences of isolation can be both physical and emotional. For the characters in Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein, isolation does both in varying degrees.Through Victor’s self-destructive path for knowledge and revenge, the creature’s descent from benevolence to misery, and Walton’s journey to the Arctic, Mary Shelley explores the theme of isolation in that whether it is intentional or not, isolation only leads to negative consequences.
