The Role Of The Monster In Mary Shelley's Frankenstein

Frankenstein puts the monster into a situation that causes him to be one of a kind. The monster had no one to whom he could relate. Victor thrusts the burden of existence upon the monster by creating him, leaving no route for escape from the situation. Frankenstein causes the monster to live a life in solitude, and the monster realizes the contempt others have for him. The monster feels as if he is no different, and believes he “deserved better treatment”(Shelley 114). Through his observations, the fiend ponders whether his existence is truly that of humanity or rather of “a monster, a blot upon the earth from which all men fled and whom all men disowned”(Shelley 119). By creating him, Victor forces these hardships upon the monster.

Frankenstein follows Victor Frankenstein’s triumph as he reanimates a dead body, and then details his guilt for creating such a thing. When the creation realizes how he came to be, and is rejected by mankind, he seeks revenge on his creator’s loved ones. In the novel Frankenstein, Mary Shelley portrays Victor Frankenstein as the true monster of the story through the use of literary devices revealing the characteristics that Frankensteins and monsters share, and shows how Frankenstein’s irresponsibility leads to his monstrous labeling.

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

In Frankenstein by Mary Shelley, the Monster might be incorrectly named—when most people think of monsters, they think of creatures that are inherently bad. The Monster, however, experienced emotions like any human did and was even repulsed at thoughts of death and destruction; events throughout the story shaped the Monster into the murder he became. The Monster also encountered books that developed his pessimistic worldview and hatred of humanity, including Ruins of Empires, Paradise Lost, The Sorrows of Young Werther, and Plutarch’s Lives. The characters and events in these books were partially responsible for the Monster’s belief that he would never be accepted by any human. If he had read some more optimistic works with characters he could relate to, perhaps he would have developed into a different character.

Like most horror stories, Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein has a wretched monster who terrorizes and kills his victims with ease. However, the story is not as simple as it seems. One increasingly popular view of the true nature of the creature is one of understanding. This sympathetic view is often strengthened by looking at the upbringing of the creature in the harsh world in which he matures much as a child would. With no friends or even a true father, the creature can be said to be a product of society and its negative views and constant rejections of him. Although this popular view serves to lessen the severity of his crimes in most people’s eyes, the fact remains that the creature is in fact a cold-hearted wretch whose vindictive nature

If it weren’t for the creation of the Creature, there would never have been any problems and Victor would have been happy with his family. After being rejected by Victor, the monster found shelter in a hovel next to a cottage. He learned to read, write, and speak by observing the residents of the cottage through a crack in the wall. The Creature discovers how he was created by reading the notes found in the clothes he took from Victor. He felt disgusted at how Victor regarded him. When the Creature tries to interact with the villagers, they attack him and drive him off. He vows his revenge on every human being. While walking through the forest, he encounters Victor's brother William. He then proceeds to strangle the boy and kills him. He then takes a locket on William and places it in Justine’s pocket, who is later executed for the murder of William. After meeting with Victor, the creature asks him to make a female companion so that he can stop his revengeful acts. Victor agrees to his proposal and begins to create a female partner for the monster. One night, after noticing the monster’s hideousness and the possibility of a second creature like him, Victor destroys his work in progress. The Creature becomes enraged and proceeds to vow his revenge on Victor. The next night, Victor rows out to

I can't believe that the creature killed William Victor Frankenstein brother. I think the creature will be considered as a human because In Gris Grimley's Frankenstein, William was murdered because he kept on calling the creature ugly and kept on saying that if he wanted to eat him, but the creature didn't want to but when he heard the name of Frankenstein he snapped and murdered him. But I still think the creature is human because he has emotions like humans and interreacts like humans. And wants to be loved and not lonely that's why he wanted a mate.

In the Novel Frankenstein written by Mary Shelley, Victor Frankenstein created a creature to see if he can bring life back from death, but the creature was alone and miserable after created. Victor Frankenstein worked day and night for 2 years to complete his work but later he had abandoned him as he was afraid of the creature. The creature was created in a lab with all human body parts, and yah he was kind and everything, but this creature also had a bad side. The question of whether the creature is human or not is clear. Two reasons the creature is human is that when he was just created he started as a baby and he has emotions.

Frankenstein is the name of the book and the authors name is called Gris Griml's. Frankenstein is about this guy named victor and he was trying to create a human by using dead body parts but when he was trying to bring a human back alive, it didn’t come out like he wanted it to come out and the thing he brought back to live looks like a creature. I think the monster should be consider a human.

Nevertheless, Victor was scared and terrified when he first saw the monster. He let the Monster leave. What he didn't foresee is that the Monster wanted to be like human being. The Monster seeks the love, the care, the communication, the emotion that makes human different from animals, but Victor rejected Monster’s request to create a companion. When the monster found out that Victor defy him, he destroyed Victor and Victor’s family. Victor blamed himself; he believed that he is guilty because he failed to finished the task — to destruct the Monster; Victor blamed himself that because of his mistake they whole family died, and he has the live with that sin forever until he

In the novel Frankenstein by Mary Shelley, scientist Victor Frankenstein discovers the secret of life and avidly works to carry out his discovery by building his own creature. His feverish experimentation, though successful, results in a disappointment; after the creature opens its eyes, Frankenstein revulsion causes him to abandon this mockery of his original imagination to society’s brutality. Though made of human parts, the Creature is unable to present himself so, initially lacking both the verbal communication skills and aesthetically uniform appearance of humanity. The Creature’s desires for companionship, emotional needs, and capacity for empathy are consistent with human beings, but his outward appearance is inherently unnatural. Shunned

How is a monster defined? In Frankenstein, the author, Mary Shelley depicts Victor Frankenstein as the true monster by emphasizing his irresponsibility, hostility, and isolation. Accordingly, Frankenstein starts focusing only on his work and chooses to stay isolated when his family reaches out to him.

After Frankenstein’s mother’s death, he starts living a more isolated life away from his family and friends to focus on bringing his creation to life.

Parents bestow proper manners, and reprimand the child, making sure that he or she grows up into a proper, well mannered adult. This child will associate with friend who have grown up in similar situations, and will have friendly reactions from other people. However, sometimes the parents are not there to oversee the upbringing of their child, or neglect to do so in a nurturing way. Children in these circumstances grow up in a different manner. They do not receive important lessons for life, and may not be kind towards their friends. The reaction of others

Evil is not something people are born with; Evil is a reaction to the way people treated a person in their past. In Volume II of Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein, the readers gain an inside perspective as to the creation of an evil mind. Victor Frankenstein creates, then neglects a creature that he created in hope scientific limits. The monster now has been forced to live in isolation without anyone willing to give him a chance at a relationship. When the creation is tired of no one being open to his friendship and treating him as if he matters, he “… Declared ever- lasting war against the species… against him who had formed me and sent me forth to this unsupportable misery.” (97) His war on mankind is the result of the way he has been treated since
