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

  One of the main themes in Mary Shelley's Frankenstein is the importance of appearance and acceptance in modern society. In today's society, and also in the society of Frankenstein, people judge one often solely on their looks. Social prejudice is often based on looks, whether it be the color of someone's skin, the clothes that a person wears, the facial features that one has and even the way one stands. People make snap judgments based on these and other considerations and they affect the way that they present themselves to one, and also the way that the treat the judged person. In Frankenstein the society of that time is much like our own today. It is an appearance

Human morality is a product of evolution by heritable variation and natural selection. It is fully part of the natural world but is none the worse for that – on the contrary. In the last sentence of On the Origin of Species, Darwin states that “there is grandeur in this view of life… on which endless forms most beautiful and most wonderful have been, and are being evolved.” The beautiful and wonderful forms include true moral agents who respond to real moral facts and who form a natural moral community. Their existence contributes to the grandeur of Darwin’s evolutionary view of life.

Victor Frankenstein’s creation of the creature in Frankenstein was a main character in the book. Victor was attending the University of Ingolstadt and was heavily interested in the subject of anatomy and science. He was so interested that he decided to take on the challenge of bringing back life from a dead human corpse, and so he does. It was successful as the creature was self-aware. On the outward appearances, he was very ugly to the look. In Victor’s society, being ugly was stereotypicalized as harmful, disgusting, and nobody wanted to be with you. You can compare this to the treatment of people with different races in our modern society; take the African race for example: they are often stereotypicalized as harmful and bad, but most of them do not intend any harm. This explains why Victor was so shocked when the creature woke up.

Frankenstein by Mary Shelley mostly revolves around Victor Frankenstein, the protagonist, and the plot focuses on his creation of the monster, the antagonist, and the tragic consequences that arise from his actions. As the main focuses of the novel, both Victor and the monster are dynamic characters, and throughout the story, their actions reveal moral dilemmas. Walton, a ship captain, saves Victor in the North and while he is absent during most of the narration, Walton still makes significant appearances at the beginning and the end of the novel. He is a developed character that serves to contrast Victor’s. The minor characters include Elizabeth, Justine, William, Alphonse, and Henry, and while they make sporadic appearances in the novel, they are still significant. As close friends and family to the protagonist, their unwavering concern for Victor’s well-being ultimately influences some of his decisions. However, due to Victor’s guilt-induced isolation from society, their characters are not focused on or explored in depth. Most notably, they function to add to Victor’s misery, and their unfortunate deaths contribute to the novel’s depressing tone.

Early this morning, a strange creature was sighted pulling a cart across the surrounding Athenian fields. Our sources are Frederick Tampers, a sheep farmer, and his son, Timothy Tampers. Frederick gave a description of the unnatural being “It was like a normal human with the head of an ass. It was hobbling as if it was injured but we didn’t stick around to find out. The creature was pulling some sort of hand cart behind it and was heading towards the village!”. This description is quite bizarre, so if anyone else sights this creature I’m sure they’ll be able to identify it. Keep a look out for the mysterious monster and don’t forget to notify our authors!

Even in today's world we know who the actual monster is we call him by Frankenstein but give him the appearance of the Creature. In this case has both the appearance of the Creature and the mentality of Victor and when they are both put together the monster is truly a monster to both sides inside and out. In the novel, Frankenstein by Mary Shelley the readers are given the choice to define who the real monster in the text is: Victor Frankenstein or the Creature, according to the Oxford dictionary they describe a monster is defined as “a large, ugly, and frightening imaginary creature that is an inhumanly cruel or wicked person. Although the Creature may demonstrate behaviors that appear to be monstrous to some people because of his appearance

The monster controls narration between chapter 11 and chapter 17, telling the story about the beginning of his life, and the emotions he felt when he realized that he was abandoned by Victor. These 6 chapters show significant growth for the character, and switching the story to the 1st person, allows the reader to fully grasp the complex emotions and events, that can be a source of conflict later on in the book. The monster describes himself as a “ poor, helpless, miserable, wretch” (Shelly, 71) when he reflects on the treatment he received from villagers, that has forced him to forage and hide in the forest. On the same page, the monster starts becoming conscious of himself, separating his sensations from each other, and realizing the necessity and pleasure of food and water. This is when the monster ascends from pure Id urges, and the development of his ego appears, causing the monster gain the self-awareness and identify as “I”.

The image presented above is a representation of the widely known Frankenstein's monster. This monster comes from the story of Mary Shelly's novel which narrates the story of how a horrible creature of previous human nature was brought to life to defy the creator of the world. The story has been recreated many times in movie form. Although, movie representation varies on how the monster behaves and looks, both the novel and movies hold the same theme. Movies such as the first ever maid Frankenstein movie in 1910 depicts the monster as a human like creature with long hair and crazy eyes. In more recent movie representations the monster became tall and green, with bolts on the side of its neck such as the one in the picture presented by Apex.

It bears remembering that the start of Victor’s scientific endeavors came from the witnessing of a lightning bolt striking a tree, which Bate makes of calling out the correlation through to the so-called “Mother Nature,” even though this could just as easily be seen as a traditionally masculine display of power, which can be to inspire awe, in addition to its provocations of terror. This wasn’t very uncommon for the time, when there was still this expressed difficulty for transposing meaning to words, beyond such a normal quandary of subliminal thought, and a presence of womanhood, devoid of nuance or any considerable advancing of human imperfections, are instead informed on as goddesses, with ethereal weightiness by their existence alone,

The monster is practically human in his want for love and fraternity. Since his creation, he is dismissed and abused by everybody he meets, including his creator. It is his depression and dismissal by the public that makes him so malevolent. The main individual who at first acknowledged him as a helpless being who required comprehension was De Lacey, and it was on the grounds that he was visually impaired and in this way, did not pass judgment on the monster by appearances. "Nothing could exceed the love and respect which the younger cottagers exhibited towards their venerable companion. They performed towards him every little office of affection and duty with gentleness; and he rewarded them by his benevolent smiles"(page 101) The monster learns good habits with looking these people, and their experiences daily which, then, he has resentment towards his creator, that he is eviler in his behavior than the monster with his appearances.
