Causes Of The Monster In Frankenstein

First off, Frankenstein is no way a hero, Victor could have treated the monster way differently than he did. He could have made the monster feel equal and have some relevance to matter. Instead Victor choose to treat it poorly, the monster did not asked to be created, he didn't choose it. It was not fair that victor treat the monster as poorly as he did. Dr. Frankenstein is a man

At first glance, the monster in Frankenstein is a symbol of evil, whose only desire is to ruin lives. He has been called "A creature that wreaks havoc by destroying innocent lives often without remorse. He can be viewed as the antagonist, the element Victor must overcome to restore balance and tranquility to the world." But after the novel is looked at on different levels, one becomes aware that the creature wasn't responsible for his actions, and was just a victim of circumstance. The real villain of Frankenstein isn't the creature, but rather his creator, Victor.

When reading Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein it is easy to see the practical argument: Victor has created a monster. In the novel Victor is exposed to us— his family values, his journey to school, his drive for scientific achievements, etc. It is easy to see Victor as a victim of a monstrous creature. The monster murders everyone that Victor loves. Though, the second half of the novel exposes the “monster” to us— he is an angry, child-murder that stalks and horrifies a family (and within that family a blind man), murders the friends and family of his creator. Therefore, in the minds of most it’s easily assessed that the creature is the monster. But it seems, if you pick apart our protagonist, that he is indeed

If one were to create a dog out of clay, that dog would have no way of becoming more alive than its creator, for it is made of clay. As the creator of the monster, Victor Frankenstein is seen as more human than his creation. However, Frankenstein's actions persuade the reader to believe he doesn’t have the human characteristics of being sane and rational. Frankenstein does not create his monster to be like himself, but instead makes him hideous and repulsive to other humans. This , leads him to reject his own creation as well. Frankenstein is more inhuman than the monster, because of the comparison of their characteristics and personality.

After the death of his brother William and servant Justine, victor begins to think he is guilty of the murders. He begins to think since the creature was his creation, he was responsible for the murders indirectly. However, he refuses to tell anyone of what he has done out of fear. He created the creature's life before thinking of the consequences of "playing God". He didn't even accept his creation and abandoned him for his hideous

Frankenstein was a coward that used science selfishly to become a God without taking responsibility of the retaliation of defying the laws of Nature. The Monster did kill many and became a murderer, acts that cannot be forgot except that they are the consequence of the negligence of its creator. That is why ethics are necessary, as people like Victor Frankenstein, in the name of the human civilization, do terrible and unethical acts. Victor had an obsession, just like the Monster, the first one with building and the other one with destroying. In the end, the Monster could have been the result of an experiment that could have to be useful for society in some way, at least, better than an indifferent criminal. Dr. Victor Frankenstein is the biggest threat to society as he has a negligent attitude, governed by impulsive attitudes, Frankenstein, in the beginning, tries to be good but the Monster embraced his darker side, his ambition, and egotism which consumed Victor's entire life, ending up in misery that involved not only the one playing as God and its creation but everyone around them that had nothing to do with

At the end of any tragedy, blame is assigned to those at fault; however, the assigning of blame is often not easy to determine. In Mary Shelley’s novel, she describes a young man named Victor Frankenstein whose passion for his work leads him to create something never before seen. Through research and experimentation, he is able to bring a person back to life after having passed away. Once alive though, the creature is immediately rejected by Victor and by society. This leads to the Creature taking revenge on Victor by killing all of his family. It is not easy to determine who is at fault here: Victor for creating such a horrible creature or the Creature itself for the killings?

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

In fact, he was quite the opposite. When the monster was first created, he was curious and just wanted to learn. Not quite aware of how malicious he really looked, he traveled to a nearby village. "The whole village was roused; some fled, some attacked me, until, grievously bruised by stones and many other kinds of missile weapons, I escaped to the open country and fearfully took refuge in a low hovel, quite bare, and making a wretched appearance after the palaces I had beheld in the village." (74) When he entered the village, due to his physical appearance, the women fainted and the children screamed in terror. This monster, though, was not a cruel being. He was, in fact, looking for food, and for companionship, something nearly every living creature has in life. Whether it is the lifelong mate of a swan or a pod of dolphins swimming in the wild, all creatures have the universal need for companionship. So ultimately, when the monster was rejected because of the villagers perceived him, the understanding and feeling of isolation started to form within

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

In the book Frankenstein, Victor Frankenstein was a scientist who made a scientific discovery that resulted to his own destruction. He ended up creating a monster to which he failed to give love and support it expected. The monster was lonely and sad which led him to seek revenge from Victor and eventually be the reason of his death. The revenge by the monster was a just punishment for Victor’s actions because he attempted to give life to the dead which was completely against the law of nature and the outcome of anything against God’s will would ultimately be the nemesis of the one who created it.

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.

This essay will discuss what Ben’s monstrosity symbolizes.

He used different body parts of dead people to create the crazy monster. What changed the monster to be vicious was the fact that he was left alone and made to cope on his own because his master had left him behind. This monsters appearance also made him to be as angry and vicious as he turned out to be. What critics ended up arguing is if the monster was made to be very angry and mean or he was created that way. The surrounding factors of the monsters surroundings was believed to be the reason behind his anger and violence. This is evident in the novel where the monster camps outside a house and learns how to interact with humans through watching how they behave and learning their speech. This is a sign that the monster wanted to be one with the people and not be an outcast but he was battered and beaten when he tried interacting with the family. This was the final straw that set the monster
