In Frankenstein we see the creature's personality multiple forms throughout the reading. These traits are constantly jumping around throughout the story . For example, On one of the remote Orkney Islands, Frankenstein tears apart the mate he has verging on finished for his beast, he feels something like regret. “I almost felt as if I had mangled the living flesh of a human being.” ( Chapter 20) The monster demonstrates his humanity through his capacity for emotion and self-reflection, his ambitious personality, and the human origin of his body. His aggressive actions are merely a result of his isolation from society and do not stem from an innate predisposition to violence. The monster is the pictured by victor to have a heart of gold when
What makes us human? Is it a beating heart and living flesh? Is it encompassing advanced psychological and social qualities? The classic gothic novel, Frankenstein, written by Mary Shelley and the modern horror novel, Warm Bodies, written by Issac Marion have lead many readers to question the complexity of human nature. Both novels explore several principal themes that develop the reader’s understanding of what it means to be human. We are miraculous creatures who are capable of both good and evil; humans are intricate beings who depend on love for survival, some can be troubled by or lack remorse, and in some cases, our actions can be motivated by fear. Throughout both novels, the main characters struggle with these aspects of human nature.
The creature is miserable because the creator just made him and right after he got afraid and then he wanted to kill the creature because Victor thinks that he killed his brother William.According to the text it said, "The tortures of hell are to mild for thy crimes you've done. So what he is trying to say is that he hall go to hell for the people he killed including William. In my opinion I think that the creature didn't kill William because he said in the text that his soul is full of love and community.An other reason is because he lives in the mountains and in

Many years have passed since the novel “Frankenstein” was published for the common readers, yet it gave a huge impact in the society’s point of views and beliefs about what kind of monster Victor Frankenstein created. Even in present day, the novel has influenced, in many ways, how to shape the opinions of the society. Although, it has many argumentatives elements, they are all based on how the monster develops in the story from a victim to a villain.
Nature’s Representations Nature can come in many forms. It can cause happiness and peace, while it can cause death and destruction. Frankenstein, by Mary Shelley, utilizes aspects of nature in a way that impacts the plot of the story. The book is about Victor Frankenstein, a mad scientist, who creates a man from the dead, and his encounters with his creation.
In Frankenstein, by Mary Shelley, the Creature that Victor Frankenstein creates is morally ambiguous. The Creature plays a pivotal role by being a main focus throughout the novel. The Creature’s moral ambiguity is also significant to the outcomes of the novel. Additionally, the Creation is morally positive due to his discovery of nature, education, and assistance. But, the Creature is also negative due to the treatment he faces for being different and for the crimes he commits over time. The Creature’s moral ambiguity assists in establishing the meaning of the work as whole that monsters are not always born with malicious intentions and that these intentions are crafted by the actions of others.
“Don’t judge a book by its cover”, have you ever heard that saying? The world is perceived by many different people with different mindsets. Each one thinking differently than the other. The world is perceived in many different ways. Scary, happy, sad, any possible emotion you can think of.
I will be writing on the different characteristics of the creature and Dr. Frankenstein from Mary Shelley’s book Frankenstein. The creature in this book displays different characteristics of emotion that greatly display the genre of romanticism. The creature at some points is horrifying to the reader, but in different instances is able to gain sympathy from the author. The beast is also depicted in different manners depending on the volume of the book. When one sees Dr. Frankenstein’s perspective of the monster I would believe the daemon is a bad thing, and messed up. On the other hand, from the creature’s perspective he is simply innocent and was changed because of how his creator treated him. All of these different scenario’s play into linking
fact that the monster is superior and be with him. This idea leads into the fact that the women in the novel are supposed to be ‘indebted’ to the men. This is demonstrated by Justine’s confession to the murder of William, which she did not commit. The Frankensteins adopted Justine, which kept her from starving on the streets. Based upon her adoption, Justine felt an indebtedness to the family, specifically the men (they provide for the family), and this debt drove her to confess to murder.
After, the monster ran into the woods and met a tiny village, the villagers fear and attack him because he has strange appearance, they judge another based on looks so, poor monster runs away with a fear. The monster ran into the woods and met a one family, he learned everything from them and help them for a little thing, he planned to talk with the old man. In this scene, I have a hope that they will accept the monster, but they did not, they attack him, hate him. I feel sadly for him, he knows them and bond, but nothing, he still alone. And when I read a scene about the monster helped a girl in a river, it shows me about he is very kind does not like his body, but he still hurt because everyone scare of him even he helped a girl. If I become

“It was with these feelings that I began the creation of a human being.” Victor Frankenstein (Shelley 38). There are many qualities that make us human and while the monster possesses these qualities, the other characters refuse to acknowledge him as a full human being. Human characteristics emerge in varying forms and not only upon human beings but also in the creature that appears in Frankenstein, like feelings and emotions. The monster displays numerous humanoid qualities throughout the book that includes love, sympathy, guilt, and hatred. However, he isn’t accepted by the rest of society because of his horrid, appalling appearance.
In the story, Frankenstein, we read it from the creature’s point of view. From his point of view, we learned what he looked like, what he saw, and what he did. Although the creature doesn’t directly say what he looks like, we can imagine his appearance by what he experiences. The creature lives in a hovel near a cottage where he can see his neighbors but remain hidden.
Explore the ways Mary Shelley presents the character of the monster in Frankenstein We are prepared for the arrival of the monster in many different ways, before he is created we know the monster is going to be a repulsive figure of a human being, but the reader is still intrigued into reading further, and because of Shelley's descriptive language we already feel disgust towards victors creation, and in doing so, we our-selves become just as callous as those people in the book that neglect Frankenstein's monster. Also because the monster was created by Victor using parts dug up from graves and morgues, and we associate graveyards with horror and death, there is immediately something sinister about the monster and to a
