The Monster Mash: Is it Possible to Make a Monster? Can we reanimate life after death? First we need to ask ourselves what life is; Oxford Dictionaries describe life as “the condition that distinguishes animals and plants from inorganic matter, including the capacity for growth, reproduction, functional activity, and continual change preceding death”. Would it be possible to create a new life from dead bodies? This question is answered through entertainment in both film and literature. The primary

Frankenstein Victor had set out on a search for knowledge, he was relentless. His search consumed all his time, destroyed relationships, and lead to the death of not only himself but his friends and family. All of those negative effects originated from the monster Victor had created on his search for knowledge. Although Victor may have achieved his end goal, at what cost did this come to?

First the monster starts off by killing Victor’s younger brother, William, in the woods. The monster does have reasons to be angry at Victor, those being Victor abandoning him and also destroying the wife that he was creating for him. “His

main character Victor Frankenstein learns how knowledge can lead to dangerous inventions. Victor creates a creature assembled from scavenged human parts; however, upon seeing how hideous its appearance is, he flees which leaves the monster shunned by the rest of society. The creature, tortured by solitude, begins to kill Victor’s friends and family after Victor refuses to create a companion for him and the two end up dying lonely.

The audience can not hear me. They sit in their seats and ponder the question of my exact location. Knowing that I am here, they wonder if the poor soul admitted into my arena shall suffer my wrath! Oh yes the know that I am here, for it is them who chose this life for me, made me into the monster I am, starved me to the point where I only have a hunger, an appetite, a taste for blood. Their blood. My predatory instincts are on high alert. So yes, they can not hear me. But I can sense them. Years

Both characters are in many ways divergent, and it is in fact these traits that reveal the most about the plight of Frankenstein. Henry Clerval and Victor Frankenstein possess numerous traits that are contrasting, and at times, clashing and conflicting with each
