The creature has become a monster through committing murder, which is not only being considered murder but it is also being considered revenge. The creature is not getting revenge on all of the people that he is murdering, but he is getting revenge on Victor Frankenstein for being abandon and left all alone in the hostile world that he is coming to know. The creature was not created to become a murder or to become a monster but became one after he had been rejected and was refused the love and care that Victor Frankenstein did not provide for him due to Victor Frankenstein refusing to realize that he needed to take of this creature that he had created and take responsibilities for what he has created. The creature was born as what would be considered defenseless and was brought into this world without having a clue of what was ahead of him. He had realized throughout the world that he did not have the support that he needed in order to survive in a world that had seemed to always be judging him for the way that he had physically looked. “…the beauty of the dream vanished, and breathless horror and disgust filled his heart..” (57). Victor Frankenstein had wanted to give life to a creature, but when he had managed to do such thing he was scared of what he had created and the potential

This creature does not have a name. We do not know where he resides or how he survives, but legend has it that if you happen to be near this monster, you have almost no chances of survival. His long, pointy claws, and dark, skinny, human-like body make it easy for him to blend in with his surroundings, allowing humans to easily fall victim to this hideous beast. There is, however, one man who is fortunate enough to live to tell the tale of how he survived an attack by this monster. This man’s name is Mike and he explained that this mighty creature is able to control the minds of his prey, and teleport to different places around the world in lightning speed, explaining why his residence is unknown. This beast enjoys living and hunting alone,

Throughout Excerpt 1, Victor was revealing how he thought about the monster from when he first created till the monster killed his families. As it was written in Excerpt 1, “Even now I cannot recollect without passion my reveries while the work was incomplete.” Even after so long, when Victor has the chance to look back, he will still feel the excitement and the passions that he once had, as if he was still young. However, at the end of Excerpt 1, Victor believed the creature, the Monster, that he once created with his love deserved to be miserable, lonely and killed by him because the Monster had destroyed both his and his families’ lives. As it was shown in the passage, ‘He showed unparalleled malignity and selfishness, in evil.’

Yes, he is a monster. No, not the kind that breathes fire and terrorizes villagers. He has his demons, yes, but he is not the person he is thought to be. He is somewhat a town myth, a boogey man or one of the sorts. He does not have the breath of a thousand corpses, although it is told he does. He does not slink in the shadows of the night looking for children to take.

Who is the monster in Frankenstein? Humans. Human beings are capable of committing monstrous actions. We are not totally evil or totally good, but sometimes circumstances bring out one’s darker nature and lead on to act cruelly. Ultimately, the creature should not be dignified as the monster, but Victor Frankenstein should be due to his negligence.

In the novel Frankenstein by Mary Shelley, the creature is introduced to four readings that influenced his outlook on human life. The four books being Paradise Lost By John Milton,Plutarch's Lives of the Noble Greeks and Romans By Plutarch,The Sorrows of Young Werther By Johann Wolfgang von Goethe and Ruins of Empires by Constantin-François de Volney . Knowing that these four works influenced the creature to be who he became, I would change them in hopes of him becoming good. In the story of Frankenstein, the Creature studies or listens to 4 books. Each book molded who he became and how he thought or felt about society. Bibliotherapy is used occasionally for psychiatric therapy or to help solve your personal problems. If his reading choices

Captain Robert Walton: As a failing writer, he sets out on a voyage to the North Pole in hopes of the fame in new scientific discoveries. He rescues the main character, Victor Frankenstein, and record the story as told by Frankenstein.

The monster is often seen as the true villain due his murderous actions and horrifying appearance. The monster, however, only took those actions due to the fact that he was outcasted by society and Victor left him alone to fend for himself. The monster had to educate himself by watching others live their day to day lives. Victor shows no compassion for his creation. Victor leaves behind his loving family and wife to be, to go play God and create a monster that will one day kill everyone he knows and loves. He lives the rest of his life in anger as he chases after the monster only to die of exhaustion. In the end, Victor paid for his devilish actions. Leaving the victim, the monster, to a lonely

The novel continues by highlighting Victor’s catastrophic actions that greatly harm the loved ones that surround him. Victor’s family is very tight knit, and once his brother William is assumably murdered by his own creation, he puts his own safety over everything else. Despite his close relationship with his family, Victor did not bring justice to William’s death despite having a suspicion that it was the monster who was the murderer, leading to his accused cousin Justine being executed as he believed his “tale was not one to be announced publicly.” Victor’s self-centered persona is elaborated more, but with a more destructive and detrimental effect not just for him, but for the people who have some value to him revealing how he is unappreciative

Creature was not a monster initially but a victim of abandonment and prejudice which turned him into the monster that people thought him to portray. Creature was an unnatural existence created and disowned by Victor Frankenstein. With no one to care for and teach him he ventured off into a cruel world where no one would accept him. This changed this poor creature from a being as innocent as a child to a monster full of cunning and malice, but this was not a choice but a result of how people made him out to be a true monster.

It took months for The Monster to be alive. One night, as written in chapter 5, The Monster held up the curtains of the bed and his jaws were open by muttering some inarticulate sounds, while a grin wrinkled on his cheeks. “Oh! No mortal could support the horror of that countenance” (Shelley 59). The Monster is like a mummy being endued with animation and could not be hideous.

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

Mary Shelley touched on something extremely dim and effective when she penned her renowned novel Frankenstein. The story takes after the life of a youthful researcher who discovers himself captivated by the force of science. He dives into the dim openings of the human personality to make a creature. Victor Frankenstein is nauseated by his creation and the novel takes after the fight inside himself as "maker". The most critical thought of the novel does not manage the beast and his human cognizance; however the force that permitted Victor to make a living, breathing, feeling animal. This transcendence that Victor has is at the heart of the novel and the premise of another line of contention for English Gothic writings. As per Horst Eberhard-Richter,
