Who Is The Creature In Mary Shelley's Frankenstein?

For many people, the creature was the antagonist of Frankenstein. People don't see him as human, even though he was created with human body parts. Many think simply because he was dead and brought back, the creature must be evil. Many people think he only wants to haunt his creator and make him suffer. However, the creature

    Sometimes, in novels like Frankenstein, the motives of the author are unclear.  It is clear however, that one of the many themes Mary Shelley presents is the humanity of Victor Frankenstein's creation.  Although she presents evidence in both support and opposition to the creation's humanity, it is apparent that this being is indeed human.  His humanity is not only witnessed in his physical being, but in his intellectual and emotional thoughts as well.  His humanity is argued by the fact that being human does not mean coming from a specific genetic chain and having family to relate to, but to embrace many of the distinct traits that set humans apart from other animals in this

Do you think the creature is human or not? In Gris Grimly's Frankenstein, there are many observations that can be made about the creature being human or non- human in the book Gris Grimly's Frankenstein, I agree that Frankenstein's creature is human because I've observed that the creature has developed feelings, thoughts, and mistakes and learned how to help others in need from experience when he was in nature as well as how to ask or to request a favor with the fulfillment of a deal throughout the book. But if, mankind misjudges someone or something by their appearance before knowing them or it then the creature is acting more human than an actual human and other times he's is as bad as humans can possibly be.

Even if Little Frank is human his creature doesn't think so. I believe this too, since he made it he should know. For example, "On his deathbed, Victor tells the ship's captain, "'In a fit of enthusiastic madness I created a rational creature, and was bound towards him'" (Grimly 188).​"This shows that Victor does admit to creating a creature and not a human. Victor tends to believe his creation is "... a rational creature ... " that he has created and brought into this world we live in today. I am sure, that the creator of this "creature" is the person who is bound to know all about his creation. No one knows more about Little Frank than his creature. In this case I say creature, because Little Frank was made by a human being. Not the ways

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

During the past months we have been reading the book " Gris Grimly's Frankenstein" by Gris Grimly. The story is about a ambitious scientist called Victor Frankenstein, who wanted to destroy sickness and create life. Overall, Victor created a creature that looks nothing like human. But is he human? My class is debating on whether or not he is human. I claim that the creature is indeed human, and here are my reasons why. To begin with, the creature has feelings. The source states " was benevolent;​ my soul glowed with life and humanity: but am I not alone, miserably alone?( Gris Grimly's Frankenstein, Grimly 83). The creature said this in a argument with his creator ( Victor) on the top of a mountain. This quote shows how the creature feels

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

Do I consider Frankenstein's creature to be human or not? I consider that the creature would be human because Frankenstein's creature has a lot of things inside of him that humans do have in the real life. One example of the creature being a human is that the creature wanted a mate and asked Victor to create it because the reason is that, the creature wanted to be taken care of, to keep himself occupied, and someone to care for. Just like a human would do.

There is a myth that every creature on this planet is one half of a whole and must be completed by another half. Sometimes it takes that other half coming into their life to make them realize the truth about themselves and to see hidden parts of their unconscious minds that they otherwise would not have noticed themselves. Mary Shelley, an accomplished writer during the Romantic Era of English Literature, is the author of Frankenstein. Victor Frankenstein is a young man with a hunger and passion for knowledge and science. He wants to do what no one has ever done before- create human life all on his own. Victor creates an eight foot tall, grotesquely terrifying monster that after continuous rejection from society, decides to take revenge on the man that gave him life. Shelley shows throughout this novel how two mortal enemies can be surprisingly similar and even act as mirrors of each other.

In Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein, Victor Frankenstein fulfills his dream of creating life and playing God. However, he treats this created life, his own son per say, as if the creature were horrifying trash. Instead of recoiling in disgust over his creation, he should have embraced this creation that was deemed impossible before his experiment. By Frankenstein embracing his creation, he would have provided a positive image for others that would have influenced their own opinions on his creature. Because Frankenstein rejects his creature, judges the creature’s appearances from the outside, and does not teach the creature how to properly behave and function as a human, the creature feels rejected and unloved in this brand new world.

“It was with these feelings that I began the creation of a human being.” Victor Frankenstein (Shelley 38). There are many qualities that make us human and while the monster possesses these qualities, the other characters refuse to acknowledge him as a full human being. Human characteristics emerge in varying forms and not only upon human beings but also in the creature that appears in Frankenstein, like feelings and emotions. The monster displays numerous humanoid qualities throughout the book that includes love, sympathy, guilt, and hatred. However, he isn’t accepted by the rest of society because of his horrid, appalling appearance.

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
