The Role Of The Monster In Mary Shelley's Frankenstein

After Frankenstein’s first creation which had taken a turn from glory, to fear and disgust to which he finally learns his lesson. Frankenstein’s monster tracks Victor down to ask him to “create a female for [him]” due to all the loneliness and suffering the monster had to endure. At first, Frankenstein shuts down the monster because he did not want another creature roaming the Earth and causing chaos. After much persuasion Frankenstein agrees to create a second monster but this time he creates it fully aware of his

Since the outcome or the future cannot be guaranteed one cannot base their actions on the future. It does not matter if there are good consequences, some choices are morally forbidden (Alexander 2016). This is saying that it does not matter if Frankenstein created more chaos by going through with his promise, it is still immoral. He took advantage of the monster by telling him that he would help him, and doing so breaks the universal laws. Frankenstein's worries about going through with his commitment could have never occurred, and the outcome could have been better than what occurred after it was broken. Frankenstein's wife was killed because his promise was broken. If he followed through, she may have never died and the monster may have kept his promise and would have never been seen again. As a result of breaking his promise he lived his life chasing his monster, in attempt to destroy him, which in turn just ended in his own demise. If Frankenstein truly did not want to make the female monster he should have never promised to do so because then he would have no

In Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein, Victor Frankenstein is tasked, by the monster, to create a companion. This act is both selfish and destructive. It is selfish because when he agrees to create the monster he is doing so to get the monster to go away and for his secret to go unknown. The monster promises this when he states, “I shall become a thing, of whose existence everyone will be ignorant” (Shelley 103). His creating the companion would also have been an act of destruction. Frankenstein ponders over what this new creature might be like and realizes, “she might become ten thousand times more malignant than her mate “(Shelley 118). He also considered the likelihood of the new creation not following the promise of the original and stay

The big idea here is that if Frankenstein created another monster that would affect many people. Creating the monster was already a lot of trouble. The monster had faced unfair treatment from the public, and had killed one person already. So, really, he was right to ruin and dispose of the female monster. He may have broken a promise, but he was also right to think about the future and other people’s lives before he fulfilled the monster’s

In Frankenstein, readers see that the monster is seeking for love and wants another companion with whom to share his life. We see this in the novel when Frankenstein says, "You must create a female for me with whom I can live in the interchange of those sympathies necessary for my being. This you alone can do, and I demand it of you as a right which you must not refuse to concede." (Shelley 138) The monster wants to have someone to be normal with.

Upon further probing, there is perhaps a deeper terror rooted in Frankenstein, which subtly appears to stem his hesitancy at creating not just another monster, but specifically a female monster. Because Victor Frankenstein fears the existence of a female free of restrictions that he cannot impose, he destroys her, thus eliminating the female’s options of becoming either completely feminine through becoming a mother and mate, or totally unfeminine by opting to leave her partner and face the world alone.

Image if you were alone in this world and you had know parents, know clothes, and you had nobody. How would you feel? Well let me tell you what I would feel. I would feel alone and would want to have a friend to talk to and not have the feeling of being alone. I would want to have clothes. I would want a family and to love. So I think Dr. Victor Frankenstein made a mistake in killing the female monster.

Frankenstein’s and society’s rejection of the monster, however, drove him to an uneven passionate pursuit for a companion. He forced Frankenstein to create a female monster, and he provided motivation by killing Frankenstein’s loved ones and threatening to kill more of them. The monster recalls in this final scene of Shelley’s novel how his desire drove him to evil. “. . . do you think that I was then dead to agony and remorse?--He . . . suffered not more in the consummation of the deed;--oh! Not the ten-thousandth portion of the anguish that was mine during the lingering detail of its execution. A frightful selfishness hurried me on. . . .” (153) At that point in the novel, the monster has changed from good in nature to evil in nature. His own desires are more important to him than the well-being of others and he is willing to commit murder in order ensure the fulfillment of his desire.

You have created a new form of life which you have waited almost two years to bring to the world. After your creation has been “born”, he eventually begins to hate you and kills your loved ones. Of course, you’d be more than scared. In the novel Frankenstein, by Mary Shelley, a man named Victor creates a monster. Victor decides to flee from his monster as he needs time to recover.

It is assumed that parents are responsible for their child. Their future depends on their parents and how they were raised and taken care of. In the novel, Frankenstein, by Mary Shelley, Victor Frankenstein leaves his home town to attend Ingolstadt because he yearned for new knowledge. During his time there he unraveled the secret to granting life to an inert being. , Frankenstein started a project where he gave life to a lifeless creation.

Frankenstein also made all these promises. And there could be more danger if the female was created. The couple may not work. She might not become attached.

We all tend to fear something that does not fit in to our traditional category, a stranger that is unknown and therefore threatening. Mary Shelley’s novel sheds light on the danger of such stereotyping. The story illustrates a grotesque creature who, misunderstood and shunned by every human being, eventually kills his creator’s dearest friends and family members as a part of his revenge. Part of his doing so was triggered by anger of Victor Frankenstein destroying the female being which was promised to him as a mate. I believe that if such companion were bestowed to the monster, together they would understand each other, live a life of peace and tranquility, resulting in a society that is tolerant.

Victor Frankenstein was a man who created a monster built with random body parts. The topic is about if did Victor made the right decision by destroying the female monster? My first reason is there is no guarantee they will work as a couple, such as he may reject her or she may reject him. Second, they may not get along.

Few days later Frankenstein's younger brother is found dead. Frankenstein knows right away that properly the monster has murder his brother. So he goes to look for him. When he finds him, he noticed that the monster is now able to talk. The creature tells him that he learned to talk when he watched one family, but when he comes closer to the family and want to be their friend they chase him away. And so does everybody. He feels so lonesome and alone, that he wants Frankenstein to create a girlfriend for him so he is no lonely anymore. As a result he may have then somebody to talk to. In return the monster would turn his back to the human race. Consequently Frankenstein creates a female mate for the monster, but when he is almost through the work he is suddenly overwhelmed with fear that the monster and his mate will spawn more monsters and destroy the human race. So he destroys the female. Thereupon the creature murders Frankenstein's fiancée.

I’ve recently been reading the novel “Frankenstein” by Mary Shelley and the monster really hits home for me, I think of the quote “Being alone never felt right. Sometimes it felt good, but never felt right.” -Charles Bukowski. Frankenstein’s monster is a lonely creature who just wants to be accepted, he just longs for companionship, or someone to just love him. Frankenstein agrees to make the monster a bride and destroys her in fear of terrible possibilities in the future. I disagree with this decision, the monster is just a lonely creature, and he and his future girlfriend could really love each other. The monster even made a promise to leave Frankenstein alone for the rest of his life, if he created him a bride. The monster had endeavored
