Summary Of Atlantis Seafret

In the above quote, the creature is looking for his creator, or his "parents" .

He longs for a companion who will understand him and who will not mistreat him. The last moments of compassion dies within the creature when his creator destroys the companion he promised to create, and the revenge continues from there. Even though the creature commits awful crimes, he also commits acts of kindness.

This abandonment is a major factor in distinguishing the creature as a victim as opposed to a villain. Lacking any parental guidance from Victor, the creature is left to determine how the world works on his own. This means that he

The creature began to converse freely with the blind father who addressed him with kindness. However, when his two children returned, the daughter fainted and the son "dashed me to the ground and struck me violently with a stick" forcing the creature to "quit the cottage and escape unperceived to my hovel" (115). These acts of cruelty emphasize how often humanity stereotypes individuals. Just because a creature looks monstrous does not mean his intentions match his appearance. After this heartbreaking event, the monster decides to stop seeking love and instead to seek revenge against his creator and attempt to force Victor to create a companion for him. The creature attempts to explain his cruel ways when he exclaims, "There was none among the myriads of men that existed who would pity or assist me; and should I feel kindness towards my

The rejection the creature faces in the female role causes him to adopt the male role in his story, forcing him to attempt to sacrifice his feminine morals of emotionality, as social norms make it impossible for the creature to reconcile the male and female roles. The creature mistakenly kills William, and this leads the creature to believe that perhaps he is not like Adam (157). Rather, he begins to see himself as powerful — as if playing the role of Satan, whom he

The creature's physical grotesqueness makes the creature unable to attain affection from the human societies. The creature is initially rejected by his creator, who is the closest resemblance to a mother or father figure. Despite this relationship, Victor finds the creature to be a "miserable monster" (39). Consequently, as soon as life is present within the creature, Victor abandons his child. Victor claims that he "escaped, and rushed down the stairs" (40) away from the

The farther they climb up the mountain, the more difficulties they face, such as when they found out about the beast at the top of the mountain. The beast stops them from going farther up the mountain. The fear that Jack created about the “beast” caused all the boys to become barbaric. The farther they climbed up that mountain, the more the boys discovered about themselves and the

It is the outsider’s point of view on the world. Wanting to interact with the old man and children, the creature gets excited. But it also fears because he really wants to be accepted. The creature knows it will be hard because of the way it looks but the creature itself looks past that and so it would be willing to approach them and ask for acceptance. Chapter 20: “I shall be with you on your wedding

As a result of Victor's neglect and rejection of the creature, society also denies the creature acceptance which creates a life of loneliness for it. The creature, after being rejected by Victor, is left helpless, wanders into a forest, and experiences what hunger and pain are for the first time in life. The creature longs for acceptance, especially from Victor, but is denied. For example, the creature first learns of its rejection from society when it enters the house of an old man that is cooking; it as at the sight of the creature that the man "shrieked loudly" (90) and runs out of his hut. From that moment the creature realizes it is deformed and unlike anyone else. While the creature is roaming through the woods one day it comes upon a cottage. The creature notes the inhabitants of the cottage, the DeLacey family, as being beautiful in comparison to its

Children and even “newborn babies are keen listeners in their environment” (How Do Children Learn Language), they watch and listen to their parents and that helps them learn. Like most children, the monster knows nothing at all and can’t do anything for himself at first but as his mind grows, he learns more and more about how to survive on his own. It’s just like how a child transitions into a teen and then an

From the moment that his heart was ignited with life, The Creature longed for the affection of his so called father, Victor. When he first laid eyes on his creator, “a grin wrinkled his cheeks”, because The Creature recognized that his life came from the man in front of him (35). While Victor was greeted with a loving smile when first encountering The Creature, he offered nothing but rejection and disgust in return. To The Creature, who was surely expecting acceptance and love, this must have been confusing and very disheartening.

A city disappearing in one night and never found ever since sounds suspicious. Where could

While exploring the intriguing domain, I stared wide-eyed in the dim rooms, my face was illuminated by the glowing tanks while fish and other marine life gawked at me. It was as if they wanted me to join them or aid them to escape their aquatic prison. It was depressing to be so close to them, to be only separated by glass, but unable to save them. Many animals could have been violently captured from their homes with no hope of ever being reunited with their true families. The stress of hearing to kids crying, people clapping, loud music,

The metaphor of the mountain means that all parts of life age and grow old. The cutting down of trees symbolize getting bald. The metaphor also means that you can retain your knowledge and wisdom when you get older. The mountain can still retain its beauty even though the trees were cut down.
