Similarities Between Frankenstein And The Sorrows Of Young Werther

In the novel Frankenstein by Mary Shelley, Victor Frankenstein puts the monster in a predicament that victimizes the monster. Victor creates the monster to be an “ugly wretch”(Shelley 141) therefore causing the monster grief for his entire life. The monster experiences severe loneliness for being an outcast. The monster is the greatest victim in this novel because of his creation, his loneliness, and everyone’s general fear or lack of concern for him.

There are evident similarities between Victor Frankenstein and his creation. Both Frankenstein and his creation share a love for nature, a longing for knowledge, and a desire for companionship.

Have you ever thought that Frankenstein and Northanger Abbey can have the same theme? They might be two different stories but, still be connected somehow. Frankenstein - Victor Frankenstein took his love of books to the fullest. After going to college, he took his learning to make a monster.

In The Sorrows of the Young Werther, there is a young girl who drowns herself in the river when she was abandoned by her lover. Through this story, the creature learns about suicide whereby after killing Henry Clerval, he frames the scene of attempted suicide by drowning him in the water. The story taught the creature despondency and gloom and in addition, inspired him to commit suicide just as he had read from it. Another similarity is the deaths that occur in both stories. In The Sorrows of the Young Werther, the deaths happening in the story are because of lack of love and companionship. This drill into the creatures mind that happiness in life demands for a companion and that is the reason why the creature demanded for companion. In addition, the creature knew that if one lacks companion, people have to die and that is why he was ready to kill in order to get a companion. Generally, both Frankenstein’s and The

As the perception of women changes constantly, society is the only factor in creating their ideal image. These societal views are the basis of their treatment, with the expectation that it is beneficial for them. However, societal expectations of women in the Elizabethan and Victorian eras severely limit their freedoms and rights. William Shakespeare’s Othello and Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein portray most women in their typical roles. Both authors depict the level of injustice in society’s treatment of women through the passivity of women causing their deaths, the silencing of vulnerable women and the portrayal of women as more humane than men.

One other way that the stories, “Frankenstein”, and “The Rebellious Robot” compare and contrast is characters. The stories differ in character because in “Frankenstein” Victor, the creator of Frankenstein, is a grown adult who lives by himself. In “The Rebellious Robot”, the characters are still children who have to be cared for by an adult. For example, the story “Frankenstein” says, “I walked with a quick pace, and we soon arrived at my college...the

When a young person develops an awareness to suffering, evil, and pain around them, the person is put into a position where they have to act and respond in a manner that is advanced in their age. Mary Shelley’s novel Frankenstein and Arthur Miller’s The Crucible propose through both characters of Abigail and the monster that innocence is short lived and the reality of evil in society helps destroys it. Abigail and the monster were once innocent when born, but the exposure of the evil in society transforms them into to doing morally wrong things because of their influence. The trauma that both characters experience from their own parents affect them, as through relationships with important attachment figures, children learn to trust others,

The creature's reaction to society is composed through the mistreatment of Victor Frankenstein. Victor Frankenstein did not show the monster the nurturing and care that a creator should show to its creation when he came to life. In Harold

Although all works of literature are different than one another, many of them hold very similar meanings. Some often give across the same message and can be compared very closely to each other. We, readers, see a great example of this in both Grendel, by John Gardner, and Frankenstein, by Mary Shelley. In these novels we see that numerous topics are parallel to one another. The ideas of isolation, injustice, and consideration are present in both texts.

Frankenstein and Edward Scissorhand are both about two different creators creating their own kind of creatures, and the journey through the whole process and the life after creation. In both the novel and film we are able to compare different aspects of both the novel and film. Mary Shelley’s novel Frankenstein and Tim Burton’s film Edward Scissorhands have many similarities and differences starting from the desire of wanting to feel love, to the cause of all the violence. A few of the similarities and differences visible throughout the novel and film are: quest for knowledge, companionship, and their creators.

Humans are known for bestowing their judgment irrationally and based on the “book cover” of a person, they may degrade their fellow human into the worst positions of the social ladder. Mary Shelley, in her novel Frankenstein, expands on this perspective by using mood and tone to parallel with the circumstances of an event occurring in her novel with shifts throughout the context of the book, symbolized by the changes in nature and seasons. This shift is made frequently between the agonized, desperate, frightful, maybe even suicidal mood and tone with the occurrence of dreadful acts of murder and execution, to the more calming, soothing, optimistic and life-full during a physical and spiritual recovery.

A multitude of signs illustrates similarities between the Frankenstein’s creature and Mary Shelley. These indications show that the novel may be an autobiography. However, the novel shows a lot of the characteristics of science fiction. The novel can be a real description or fiction narrative, but not both. An informed opinion about this controversy requires the evaluation of relevant critics. Sherry Ginn uses “Mary Shelley 's Frankenstein: Science, Science Fiction, or Autobiography?” to adequately argue that the novel Frankenstein is based on Shelley’s experiences and fears, that it is not an autobiography, and that it has all the characteristics of a science fiction narrative.

Like most horror stories, Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein has a wretched monster who terrorizes and kills his victims with ease. However, the story is not as simple as it seems. One increasingly popular view of the true nature of the creature is one of understanding. This sympathetic view is often strengthened by looking at the upbringing of the creature in the harsh world in which he matures much as a child would. With no friends or even a true father, the creature can be said to be a product of society and its negative views and constant rejections of him. Although this popular view serves to lessen the severity of his crimes in most people’s eyes, the fact remains that the creature is in fact a cold-hearted wretch whose vindictive nature

Mary Shelley’s novel, Frankenstein, contains two different, but remarkably similar characters. Victor Frankenstein was a man who desired family and knowledge. He adored science so profoundly that he created a creature out of parts that he gathered from charnel houses and graveyards. The creature and Victor both share the same desires and other similarities. As the novel goes on, the two show just how similar they truly are.

To be considered a monster the character must possess an appalling appearance or personality. Monsters have heavily been prevalent throughout human history, striking fear into the hearts of people for centuries. In Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein and Bram Stoker’s Dracula Frankenstein’s monster and Dracula possess appalling personalities and exterior that attributes to their own unique monstrosity. They are both iconic monsters that have terrified people around the world for ages. However, they are two very different creatures; for instance Frankenstein is a monster because he is shunned by society for his grotesque appearance. Dracula is a monster because he feasts upon the living for
