The Monster In Mary Shelley's Frankenstein '

After the death of Frankenstein, the Creature is met face-to-face with Walton, and here the Creature meets his final challenge of communicating and addressing a human who might have compassion for him. Upon seeing and hearing from the Creature, Walton experiences similar reactions as Frankenstein upon first communicating with the Creature. His physical appearance once again stains with utter disgust any attempt at showing benevolence: “Never did I behold a vision so horrible as his face, of such loathsome, yet appalling hideousness. I shut my eyes involuntarily” (Shelley 211). Once this reaction takes place, the Creature’s words do cause a small time of wavering of compassion for Walton, although ultimately he does reject the Creature once

Mary Shelly was born in 1797 and died in 1851; she was the second wife

If one were to create a dog out of clay, that dog would have no way of becoming more alive than its creator, for it is made of clay. As the creator of the monster, Victor Frankenstein is seen as more human than his creation. However, Frankenstein's actions persuade the reader to believe he doesn’t have the human characteristics of being sane and rational. Frankenstein does not create his monster to be like himself, but instead makes him hideous and repulsive to other humans. This , leads him to reject his own creation as well. Frankenstein is more inhuman than the monster, because of the comparison of their characteristics and personality.

The creature can be considered human because he can feel human emotion such as love, sadness, pain, and lonesomeness. The creature states to the ship’s captain after victors death, "'My heart was fashioned to be susceptible of love and sympathy; and, when wrenched by misery to vice and hatred, it did not endure the violence of the change without torture, such as you cannot even imagine...But when I discovered that he, the author of my existence, sought his own enjoyment in feelings and passions from the indulgence of which I was forever barred, then impotent envy and bitter indignation filled me with an insatiable thirst for vengeance'" (Grimly 190). He felt like he was made for hate and then as he grew he learned that victor could choice his

After reading Mary Shelley's Frankenstein, and watching Branagh's 1994 movie version of the novel, the creature in Frankenstein is truly not a monster. Both the film and the movie shows the creature as an evil creation. If you look deeper into the situation it is shown that the creature is really not the monster. If anything the creator Frankenstein his the monster for not taking responsibility for his creation. Its like he created a baby and abandoned it. The creature shows compassion, immoral behavior, and tries to humanize himself with society. He born good but became evil. Although his creator Frankenstein believed and call him evil, he was not, he was made that way.

The monster notices that humans are afraid of him because of his appearance, he feels embarrassed of himself, as humans do when they don’t seem to be accepted. He admires the De Lacey Family that lives in the cottage, he also learns from them, and hopes to have companion as they do. The monster is like humans, as mentioned, in the way that he wants someone to listen and care about him. He is discovering the world and his capacities, he seeks knowledge and understand plenty aspects of life by learning how to speak and read. “The gentle manners and beauty of the cottagers greatly endeared them to me; when they were unhappy, I felt depressed; when they rejoiced, I sympathized in their joys” (Shelley 47). The monster developed feelings and emotions as humans. The creature is different from humans also, since he never got to grow up as a normal human, and

"You will return, and again seek their kindness, and you will meet with their detestation; your evil passions will be renewed, and you will then have a companion to aid you in the task of destruction.” For the reason that loneliness is unfortunately a common aspect of human life, people seek companionship. However, in the novel ‘Frankenstein’ by Mary Shelley, the only ‘person’ who seeks companionship is not even technically human. It is debatable whether the Creature should be considered human; whenever the Creature is mentioned, it is never called human; it's called monster, or creation, or creature, but never is it even acknowledged as human. With that said, the creature is quite destructive, and murderous, so considering him a monster is quite justified. The Creature has approached his creator, the title character Victor Frankenstein, and demanded that Frankenstein makes him a mate. The Creature explains that the reason people suffer is because he suffers from loneliness, and eliminating that void would get rid of his murderous tendencies. Victor Frankenstein agreed to create the companion; however, he later rescinded his decision, rightfully so, because creating another creature would be a catastrophic mistake.

The Frankenstein book depicts the creature as a sophisticated and smart man who is out casted based on his looks. To gain sympathy and receive pity from the readers, the creature uses his eloquence and persuasiveness to try and justify his actions for killing William, Elizabeth, and Justine. This trait in the book helps the monster seem more human than monster, and helps the reader sympathize with the creature. On the other hand in the movie the monster is depicted as a tall, dumb savage with no moral compass or comprehension of his surroundings. The creature in the movie puts into perspective what society views as a monster and what is or isn’t acceptable in the eyes of society.

Shelley certainly thought of state of nature in a way at least partially congruent to the concepts of philosophers before her, nevertheless, she does not strictly adhere to their ideals. Shelley instead pioneers an entirely novel theory regarding man in a state of nature using her supernatural creature’s experiences. Most prevalent throughout the novel is the Creature’s constant desire to be a part of society. The Creature draws most near to the fulfilment of his desires in his interaction with the De Laceys, as he grew to know them through observation. As he did, “greater became [his] desire to claim their protection and kindness; [his] heart yearned to be known and loved...to see their sweet looks toward [him] with affection was the utmost

The monster in Frankenstein portrays a very mythical form of life because it functions as a beastly, grotesque, third race creature with human like qualities. Throughout the book, the monster displays it’s mythical qualities, such as having black skin, yellow eyes, beastly physique, and hideousness. The monster goes around tormenting Victor, by killing his family member, and destroying the village at where he stayed for awhile. The monster demands that Victor creates another creature to be his companion, which is also proof that the Monster is its own race.

In the novel Frankenstein by Mary Shelley, some characters were viewed to be morally ambiguous. One character that discourages readers from identifying them as purely evil or purely good is the creature. The creature goes through many obstacles that test who he is. The creature sacrifices loved ones to get what he wants. He also does this to show his creator the pain he has caused him. The creature says, “ If you will comply with my conditions, I will leave them and you at peace; but if you refuse, I will glut the maw of death, until it be satiated with the blood of your remaining friends.”(68) This shows that the creature is not only bad but can be good too. However, The creature is in pain, and hoping by threatening Victor that he’ll get

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.

Frankenstein looks around curiously in the hallway to see if anyone is watching him. He then sneaks into his room, the same one where the monster was originally created, and quietly shuts the door behind him and locks it securely. However this time all the window are closed and barricaded from the outside with the shutters closed on the inside, making the room pitch black. There are a few lamps scattered around the room which he then lights up. Inside the room, it has been completely cleared in the centre except for a long bench right in the middle with a sheet over top covering something which looks a bit like a person.
