The creation of a complex within a character is significant to the development of the character as a whole. Authors allow the reader to make assumptions about their character based on the two options created using this complex. After reading John Milton’s Paradise Lost, the creature of Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein creates a complex within himself about whether he is evil, like that of Lucifer, or good, as if he was Adam. Of the two, the creature is more like the envious Lucifer in Heaven than that of a child like Adam in Eden. The creature displays more qualities of Lucifer; his abandonment, eternal suffering, and a vengeful attitude towards their creators. However, he displays the newborn and solitary qualities that Adam possesses.

     In her novel Frankenstein, Mary Shelley explores a wide range of themes concerning human nature through the thoughts and actions of two main characters and a host of others. Two themes are at the heart of the story, the most important being creation, but emphasis is also placed on alienation from society. These two themes are relevant even in today’s society as technology brings us ever closer to Frankenstein’s fictional achievement.

It’s the tale as old as time, the monster that lurks within the shadows under the bed, or withering in the corner of the closet. The child tremors until the parent checks the entire room, vanishing all doubts of safety. As a child, I shared these fears, but as I outgrew these demons I learned that the real angst was always hiding within my self; the fear of the unknown. It’s uncontrollable, and only discovered once time has revealed its destiny. It goes beyond the standard questions of why or what. The anxiety that fell upon me was so overwhelming it disturbed my everyday; making the future my personal villain.

Hello Tiffani! I answered some of our other classmates questions they had on my work from their critiques they gave me but I didn’t realize your critique had a backside. You can in fact close an animals eyes like humans they either stay open, closed, or in a neutral position which is neither open or closed. Also about leaving her infant on the floor the tribe she comes from as well as her baby comes from already do connect with nature so in her eyes the forest is not a dangerous place to put your baby because nature protects them as much as they protect it. When the fawn died she could feel the pain it felt as it was dying and she could feel it passing away and I tried to make that as clear as I could without exactly saying that. She didn’t

Victor Frankenstein created life, a monster that was born into this world with no purpose, and no one to love. He did not even have a name, he was called a monster from the start. Just like a normal human baby, he came to life not knowing anything, and had to learn from his surroundings. Just like a person, he watched and learned from others, and tried to understand the world and the people in it. From that, the monster understood that he just wants to find a life for himself, and not be viewed as an evil monster, but there are many things that are preventing that. In the novel Frankenstein by Mary Shelley, the author portrays Frankenstein’s monster as a friend through details in his character and his outlook on life.

She wrapped her arm around my body. She looked to me for warmth. The clan that protected her had perished. She is alone. A densely green wilderness surrounds her, a hundred hops in every direction. The provisions her people brought into the wilderness would be scavenged entirely by now. Even if there were fifty of us rabbits to comfort her, the weak body she wears would not last. She is only a child. Her fate is almost certain.

So let’s get started. Today started like any other lonely and cold winter morning. We ate some canned beans, and drank some melted snow. After our breakfast, we started on our daily journey; heading south. Father tells me that we must reach the coast as soon as possible, or we won’t make it through the rest of winter. He has never told me what is at the shore;

“In Frankenstein, the narratives seem to grow organically from one another: it is impossible to extricate the narratives from one another, as they are so closely linked and interwoven.”

The rain seemed neverending. Soaking the ground until it could not bear anymore. Turning the ground into a brown sticky paste that attached itself onto anything it touched. In the distance, a thin hooded figure could be seen struggling to move towards a decrepit shack with a pack on its back. No one should be out during the winter storms… The wind howls and gusts powerfully, blowing back the hood of the shrouded figure. She’s an elf. Her face was as pale as the snow on the mountains; eyes as green as emeralds, with hair as black as night. Through all her beauty, you could tell that she was in pain. With every step she took, she clutched her side. A long, barbed arrow protruded from her abdomen. Blood stained her mud coated clothing. She tries to take one more step towards the shack but fails and collapses face down in the mud… Her breath

Critic Northrop Frye once commented that "Tragic heroes are so much the highest points in their human landscapes" (Frye 1). Few characters illustrate this characteristic of a tragic hero better than that of Victors Frankenstein, the protagonist of Mary Shelley's Frankenstein. His story is one of a brilliant man whose revolutionary ideas brought suffering to himself, his family and friends, and his creation. Victor is an instrument as well as a victim to this suffering throughout his story.

I saw myself. Hideous, that 's what I was. People were afraid of me, so I have to hide. A hidden figure in the darkness of the night. I don’t remember why I looked like this therefore, I don’t remember anything , however I remember him. I saw him.
