Theme Of Abortion In Frankenstein

   Frankenstein can be read as a tale of what happens when a man tries to create a child without a woman. It can, however, also be read as an account of a woman's anxieties and insecurities about her own creative and reproductive capabilities. The story of Frankenstein is the first articulation of a woman's experience of pregnancy and related fears. Mary Shelley, in the development and education of the monster, discusses child development and education and how the nurturing of a loving parent is extremely important in the moral development of an individual. Thus, in Frankenstein, Mary Shelley examines her own fears and thoughts about pregnancy, childbirth, and child development.

He started to think through everything he did, and even stopped himself from creating a second monster towards the end of the book. “...never will I create another like yourself, equal in deformity and wickedness” (Shelley 107). After everything that had happened to him, Frankenstein had finally decided not to create another monster. Victor had decided that creating another monster would be much worse than losing everyone he loved. The monster caused Frankenstein to grow as a character. He became more responsible and less impulsive by the end of the novel. Frankenstein may have lost everything, but he had learned from his mistakes and knew better than to create a second monster after he had suffered so much because of the first one. The monster’s creation and overall character forced Frankenstein to finally take into consideration the gravity of what he had done. Frankenstein had finally understood that the monster was a result of his own actions, and, in fact, was the complete embodiment of everything he had done wrong. The monster was all of Frankenstein’s horrific actions in one living being, and Frankenstein had finally understood that. Even Frankenstein’s arrangement with monster demonstrated Frankenstein’s growth. The monster had caused Victor to feel empathy towards the monster. In

     There are many different themes expressed in Mary Shelly's Frankenstein. They vary with each reader but basically never change. These themes deal with the education that each character posses, the relationships formed or not formed in the novel, and the responsibility for ones own actions. This novel even with the age still has ideas that can be reasoned with even today.

Victor Frankenstein’s monster killed many people and caused lots of irreversible disturbances, however the monster should not be murdered. Many people argue that because the monster killed, and caused many people to die that he himself should be destroyed. Many things happened that made the monster’s actions justified. Without the actions of Victor, the monster would not have murdered people and caused lots of chaos. Despite the fact that many people, including Victor, think that the beast should be destroyed, I believe that he should not because without Victor’s actions, the monster would not have killed people.

Have you ever wanted to find someone to love? Well, the monster wanted to find someone just like him to love. Victor Frankenstein created a monster that was nice and helped people. But, people treated him bad for doing nice things. The monster felt lonely so Victor and the monster made a promise that if he created a female creature for the monster to love that he will go live in the forest and eat nuts and berries and leave humanity alone. So, Victor went to go build a female creature, but before he made the creature come to life he destroyed it and the monster was devastated. Yes, I think that Victor made the right decision to destroy the creature.

Frankenstein had the idea that creating these creatures was not just an advancement in his knowledge but an advancement to nature around us, because of this everyone should “owe [our] being[s] to [him]”(55). With Frankenstein’s technological point of view, he fails to see the horror he is about to animate. Before the monster had been brought to life Frankenstein had suppressed his repugnance for his monster. Frankenstein ignores his repugnance all the way til “the dull yellow eye of the creature open[s]” and “breathless horror and disgust filled [his] heart”(58). Frankenstein finally regains his repugnance after months of ignoring it, but in order to see his repugnance, he had to create a monster of “breathless horror and disgust”(58). Frankenstein is the fictional example of his warnings of the repugnance of cloning come to life.

The creature eventually realizes that no human will ever embrace him (Lancaster 137). The lack of companionship increased the anger of the creature leading to more deaths. If Doctor Frankenstein was there for the creature, he may not have killed

Mary Shelley’s book Frankenstein is about a young scientist named Victor Frankenstein who creates a creature through the studies of science, where Victor abandons the creature leaving him helpless. The creature then realizes that he will never belong within society and curses Victor. Wanting revenge against Victor, he becomes the source of Victor’s misery and sorrow. Nathaniel Hawthorne’s short story “The Birthmark” is about a scientist named Aylmer who aims to remove his wife Georgiana's birthmark so that she can be perfect. He labors for days making a perfect antidote for her and ends up killing her because it was too strong. In Mary Shelley’s book Frankenstein and Nathaniel Hawthorne’s short story “The Birthmark”, the characters Elizabeth and Georgina represent the women’s roles motif expressing this theme that women’s only purpose is to serve others leading to this interpretation that women are disposable.

Frankenstein by Mary Shelley is an incredible novel that is as popular as it has ever been, despite being written in the 1700´s. One of the main reason for its notoriety is how well Mary Shelley was able to develop the main characters in the story. The story focuses around Victor Frankenstein and the Creature, who are uniquely presented as to leave it up to the reader to decide who the good guy in the story is, and who is the villain. Each conducted many actions that were beyond reason and unjustifiable, but also had instances where they appeared to be the victim or were trying to better the lives of others. I do believe though, that the creature had more justifiable actions throughout the entirety of the story. The Creature was the result of Victorś insane desires, was left abandoned and forced to go through the world without any knowledge, and whose mind was poisoned by the humans he interacted with.

person to unleash such a terror on the world to benefit only himself and his

In the book they both suffer the same fate dying alone which is a fear Victor and his creature especially had. Victor always prided himself around his family, and was always the most wretched when they passed. The creature wanted a mate to bond with no matter how miserable the conditions were because at least he would have someone to love and die with. Victor failed in doing this, and suffered the consequences for his failure to comply to the simple needs of his creation. To further analyze, T.J Madigan explains “If Frankenstein can be faulted-as indeed he can – it is not for hubris, but rather for the very qualities he mentions above, cowardice and carelessness. For he performs his operation without telling anyone else, and when his creation comes to life, he rejects it by running away and hoping the creature will die. This rejection of what he has brought about his failure to share his findings with the scientific community, or the people around him ultimately leads to tragedy” (Madigan). Victor was too afraid of being ousted by the scientific community if he shared this. If Victor had done so, he may have been either taken as a joke or an evil doer. Victor may have had help to control his creature and avoid death all over, but it is because of the ridicule of the society that stopped him from sharing his

As people gain new experiences different losses of innocence come along with that, this is shown in Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein. Throughout the book innocence plays a big role in the characterization of Frankenstein, the monster and most of the other characters in the book. But, as tragedies in the book occur they also symbolize losses of innocence in both the monster and Frankenstein. As these losses of innocence occur the reader begins to realize that each of them also seems to symbolize another loss of innocence but one that is just under the surface of literal meanings. One of the common double losses of innocence is all of the deaths that occur in the book. While examining the characterization and the deaths of Elizabeth and Justine, the reader comes to realize that all of those deaths symbolize the loss of innocence. Through these deaths, it is shown that Frankenstein and the monster continued to lose their innocence until it is nonexistent.

Throughout the story the Frankenstein’s monster is referred to as a true monster because of the different acts that he has committed, yet throughout the story the reader is made aware of the compassion and morality that Victor’s” creature possesses, like a real human. Victor is the true monster in this horror novel, because he possesses many of the characteristics that would define what a monster is. Victor Frankenstein created his monster due to his eagerness for alchemy and his unnatural obsession with being like God. Victor does not take into account the consequences of his actions. Victor rejects his creation the moment he lays eyes on it, and this caused the monster to perform the acts that he did. The cruel rejection is what begins the a journey that will soon enough be end of Victor. After Victor decides to go back on creating his monster a mate, he then destroys the half made creature which anger Frankenstein’s monster and this cause him wreak revenge on his creator. The monster tells Victor that he will be at his wedding night and the killing spree beings, Victor loses his father, and his friend Henry Clerval because of what Victor had done. In my opinion I believe that should have stuck to creating his monster a mate and this would have made things easier for him and

His hypothesis was that through the power of nature, he could reanimate organic tissue which his chosen mentors had claimed to achieve. Though Victor Frankenstein’s experimentation required a form, which took him to the charnel houses to claim tissue from the deceased. The creature was complete with the animating science developed by Victor Frankenstein. His hypothesis proved true in the respect that it could give life. Throughout the process he underwent to create the creature at no time in the process was there a point to reflect as to whether or not he should create such a monster. There was no point in the process to stop and contemplate the possible outcome of his experiment and its effect on humanity. Victor Frankenstein followed the scientific process to the letter of the word, without trepidation as to his actions. There was no point, as it was not ascribed to be essential to the course of discovery. Victor Frankenstein’s creation was not completely due to his own scientific irresponsibility, it is due to the scientific community whose emphasis on the if we can do something outweighed the decision of whether or not we should do something. There is no safeguard to this question of advancement or what is beneficial to humanity. Victor Frankenstein performed his profession and found it to be lacking in this one area, and he would pay for it in the lives the creature would soon end. Victor

Frequently, literature is intended to convey a significant idea or theme to it 's readers regarding events that occur in our everyday existence. Occasionally these ideas appear in the context of straightforward characterization, but in some literatures, such as Marry Shelley 's Frankenstein, these themes come to us in the guise of monsters, goliaths, dragons, gods, and myriads of fantasy-like components that express meaning in ways impossible within the boundaries of reality. Frankenstein came about when the famous romantic poet, Lord Byron, challenged Mary Godwin, Percy Shelley, and a few others to write a ghost story to entertain them from the horrid weather that engulfed Lord Byron 's Swiss villa one night.
