Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein is a Narrative which tells of Victor Frankenstein and his inhuman creation which he calls, a “wretch.” She writes entirely the book in modern english, which suits the setting and time frame of the story. Shelly utilizes approximately five people to narrate her book. The letters in the first twenty-five pages and a majority of Frankenstein is narrated by Robert Walton. Chapters six through eight, through letters, are mainly narrated by Elizabeth Lavenza and Alphonse Frankenstein. Chapters eleven through eighteen are composed of Frankenstein 's creation narrating his own story, and of Frankenstein speaking very little. Chapter eighteen through the closing of the book is narrated by Victor Frankenstein as he tells

Victor sees his creation as beautiful and yet repugnant, versus the creation story taken from the Bible in which God sees his creation of Adam as ‘good’. The Gothic elements that can be found in this chapter are the grotesque description of the monster's features, the eerie environment (Victor's lab at 1 a.m.), and some type of psychic communication (Victor's feeling of being followed). Also, this chapter builds fear in the reader, another big part of Gothic writing. The monsters actions are slow and juvenile. ‘His jaws opened, and he muttered some inarticulate sounds.’ This suggests that Victor would have felt threatened against the monster because the monster is presenting itself as strong and troublesome. Victor would have felt danger against this monster as he just created it but does not know what it is capable of. This is why when the monster stretches his hand out, Victor Frankenstein runs away downstairs. ‘One hand was stretched out, seemingly to detain me, but I escaped and rushed downstairs.’ Victor, at this point, might have felt scared and irresponsible that he can’t face up to his own actions. He would have felt regretful and stupid that he created something or someone without any thought and didn’t take paternal responsibility, like a loving father would do. He is neglecting his own ‘son’. He was too obsessed with science and didn’t think of the consequences.

1. The paradox that the creature sees in humankind is that humans can be glorified and worshipped at one point but, can later fall and have a downfall. The capricious nature of humans is what surprises the creature. This is shown when the creature is watching the De Laceys and the old man is reading a book, Ruins of An Empire about the Greeks and Romans and in both of these empires they both had a rise and then they both eventually fell. Also, he also learned how humans have many different sides to them on one hand they can be good and caring but also, learned that they can be evil and vicious towards one another.

Mary Shelley used this poem to show the freedom of one's future and the change(s) that will come with it. The poem also mentions one little thing such as a dream or a “wandering thought” can ruin a bigger idea. In the story, it was recently addressed that before the poem, “If our impulses were confined to hunger, thirst, and desire, we might be nearly free”. This passage can be implying that the non-essential things in life are the things that poison us or make us change. The poem’s purpose in this part of the book is to amplify the speaker's last words of the paragraph that state, “...we are moved by every wind that blows and a chance word or scene that word may convey to us.”. It makes the message of “things will change” very clear to the

Young Frankenstein is noted as being “The Broadway musical at its dizziest, glitziest and funniest!” This entertaining musical comedy performed in the Main Stage Theater at Lee High School October 13-21. This theatrical production was put on by Independent Musical Productions, Inc., which produces four major productions each year. I saw the play on October 19th during the 7:30 pm show. This viewing was not a sold-out performance. This production was intended for the adult audience. But it is also recommended to teens as well. It was good clean fun and laughter could be heard throughout the auditorium. In Young Frankenstein, the grandson inherits his family’s estate. His mad scientist antics appear to rival late of his late grandfathers.

In Volume 1 of Frankenstein, Victor’s motivations from science unleash the “monster” in him and lead to deaths of his loved ones. After the gates to Geneva are closed, Victor goes walking during a storm near where William was killed. All of a sudden lightning strikes and Victor thinks he sees his creature and a resolution came to his mind that the creature he created was the victim of Williams murder. Victor says "A flash of lightning illuminated the object and discovered its shape plainly to me; its gigantic stature, and the deformity of its aspect, more hideous than belongs to humanity, instantly informed me that it was the wretch, the filthy demon to whom I had given life." This supports my claim because Victor became obsessive over creating

Chapter 1: Chapter one begins with the narrator, whose name is Victor talking about his family background as well as his birth and his childhood. The narrator “ is a by birth a Genevese” ( Shelley Chapter 1 pg. 38) and that his family “is one of the most distinguished of that republic” ( Shelley Chapter 1 pg. 38). He tells Walton about Caroline and Alphonse, his mother and father. After the death of Beaufort, Caroline’s father and the close friend of Alphonse, Alphonse becomes Caroline’s guardian. After two years, the couple get married and give birth to Victor. Later on in the chapter, Victor begins to talk about how childhood mate, Elizabeth Lavenza “became the inmate of my parents’ house” (Shelley Chapter 1 pg 43) when Victor was 5 years

It must be noted, in any case, that in spite of Shelley's message about the naturally impartial nature of science and learning she is not saying that science and information can't be risky. There is certainly an uncertainty to science, one which is produced out of the way of humanity. Chris Baldick contends this point in his "In Frankenstein's Shadow", saying "learning is appeared to be twofold edged, its advantages and risks relying on the circumstances, and the soul, in which it is sought after" (Baldick 45). Human culture and researchers must be capable with their manifestations and disclosures; on the off chance that they are then the sad outcomes found in the occasions of "Frankenstein" won't happen. However this doesn't imply that human

He has always lurked inside of me, a malevolent entity that crawled beneath my skin. The boy stared back, his lips pulled back to expose his canine teeth, leering at the sight of me. His fathomless black, pebble-like eyes were sunken in his skull. His mouth snarled at me, a crow’s nest of matted charcoal hair plastered to his forehead. Sickly, translucent freckled skin stretched tightly over his canvas of bones. Those malicious, beady eyes drilled into the back of my head. The boy was the exact replica of me, except he wasn’t. There was something undeniably wrong with him, something I couldn’t quite put my finger on. Perhaps it was the way the corner of his left eye twitched whenever he heard a noise, or way Cold beads of sweat prickled over

      The second characteristic of the Gothic theme is the fascination with the unconscious and abnormal psychology. This includes things such as secrets and crime, both of which share the spotlight in Frankenstein. The main secret in the novel is the existence of the monster, which ultimately leads to the demise of all of Victor's loved ones. For example, if he had told Elizabeth about the threat made by the monster for their wedding night, she might not have been killed. When Victor finally tells his secret to Walton, it is as if some of the burden has been lifted and he dies soon after. Even Walton is "searching for the secrets of the pole" (Parkin-Gounelas, 216)

There are many different themes and ideas in the novel Frankenstein (1818) by Mary Shelly as a whole however, several themes and ideas come up specifically in chapter five of the novel. Themes such as the loss of innocence, family, friends, prejudice, fear/courage, ambition and fallibility, isolation and finally, nature. There are also several gothic elements that can be found in the novel. The gothic elements of the novel really come out at the beginning of the chapter, after the dream and near the end of the chapter.

There was a time in history when people used science as an everyday issue; there was a time when it was almost legitimate to provide a practical explanation, and when people preferred to ignore the subliming side of nature; people called this time in history the Age of Enlightenment (otherwise known as, the Neoclassical Period). This generation was based on the growth of scientific scrutinizations overwhelming people minds and (in a way) erasing the traditional teachings. It was particularly well-educated individuals who relied upon logic to explain the world and its resources, enabling greater evidence and certitude, which, in return, allowed matters to be more convincing. To support this philosophical movement was the Industrial

Elements of the Gothic genre that are used in Frankenstein are mystery, supernatural activities and doom and gloom. It can be questioned why Victor used dead body parts to construct his monster since it can be seen as unethical. Also Gothic novels, such as Frankenstein, take place in dark and gloomy places like castles, dungeons and towers to create the background for mysterious circumstances. Just the thought of raising the dead is gruesome enough, however the author takes full advantage of that strange feeling that the novel generates. As for the supernatural elements, imagine Victor wandering the streets (or riding a sled)
