The Monster In Mary Shelley's Frankenstein '

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

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.

"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.

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

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.

Many parts in Frankenstein show how The Creature’s physical appearance hinders his ability to become a part of the human community. Everyone who sees him assume that he is this evil creature who will harm them. Everyone rejects his longing to become a part of the community including his creator, Victor, who spent almost two years constructing him, villagers, and youth. Victor’s initial reaction is that The Creature is an “it”. Even De Lacey, who cannot see The Creature, seems to be excluding him from humanity by the way he speaks. Despite The Creature’s attempts to enter society, he is a singular being and therefore outside of humanity. He is unnatural, and therefore lacks human nature. He is excluded based on these facts, but he tries to

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

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.

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.

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.

It was a constant thing, a breathing creature at the foot of her bed. The long pole at the corner, all leads and lines, a crooked spider web. It was the brightest thing in the room, taunting as the florescent light shined off of it. The sink was next, and the bins. Around the perimeter were outlets, a chair, a window at the corner, and Daddy sat on the edge of the bed. In the middle was another, in the bed, with the creature at her feet.

Most people think that monsters are scary beings that inflict terror and pain upon people. There have been many movies created that show how different eras of society have viewed monsters, and the same monsters always end up recurring overtime because society's main fears do not change on a large scale. The true meaning of what makes a man a monster has nothing to do with what that person looks like; it has to do only with their actions and feelings. A man becomes a monster when he hurts others mentally or physically without having any remorse for the other being. In Frankenstein, a gothic novel written by Mary Shelley in 1831, Shelley imparts her idea that monsters are created by society, which means how the majority of people treat another
