Adelaide swallowed hard, pushing herself off the earth beneath her. Fear radiated from her body as the lights temporarily blinded her as she looked up. She sat on her knees and wrapped her arms around herself, what had she gotten herself into. She was trapped in a silver lined circle, it almost reminded her of a baseball field because of its lighting fixtures. There were two different sets of lighting fixtures and one set wasn’t turned on, she could only assume they were back up lights or perhaps specialized lights of some kind.
Her body went rigid, when a snort from behind her caught her attention, the air that brushed across her flesh sent goose bumps along her skin as the hair on the back of her neck slowly stood up. She slowly turned to

The creatures, giant paw pinned her against the silver wall, she screamed out in agony as it seared her flesh. She latched her fingers around the creature’s arm and tried forcing it to let her go to no avail because the moment it released her, it sank its sharp teeth deep into her neck. Adelaide cried out in pain, she gazed upward to see her parents frantically trying to break the witches protective dome around the arena.
“PAPA!” She cried, as the tears ran down her face. When the creature flung her across the arena, Gabriel materialized before her, “So you like picking on children? Just like you enjoyed killing my son!” Gabriel stepped over Adelaide and stood in front of her protectively, “Why not take on someone your own size you bastard!”
With that, Gabriel’s body shifted, and what stood in his place was a giant brown grizzly bear. Gabriel let out a threatening roar, that cracked through the air like thunder and charged forward. You could hear their bodies echoed through the arena as flesh, muscle and bone made contact. Adelaide sat up slowly, she was feeling light headed.
“Why the fuck didn’t he get her out!” Eric demanded when he caught sight of Krystal, circling the arena trying to find a way in, like they of course haven’t already tried that. “He can’t.” She said, as Eric snatched her off her feet and lifted her above the
Friends will determine the direction and quality of your life. Loneliness is a battle that all people will once face at a certain point in their life; it is how they handle it that determines the outcome of that battle. In Mary Shelley's Frankenstein loneliness is the most significant and prevailing theme throughout the entire novel. Shelley takes her readers on a wild journey that shows how loneliness can end in tragedy.
A small body emerges from the green ground. Sure, it’s not very small but a body smaller than most bears. Moirai’s colorful eyes peered back and forth on the green terrain. A little ear flicks as she listens to the nothingness. “Where am I now?” She thought to herself. Most of the time she wasn’t quite sure how she got where she was and sometimes she remembered that part of her wished to go. Of course, It had never been specific where she wanted to go and even then sometimes the places were not what she thought she wanted. Somehow though, she had gotten accustomed to it. Moirai knew the drill now by heart; Step 1: Find out where you are. The bear put her nose to the ground now in taking the smell of grass and light moisture. This confirmed
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

He’d tormented her, forcing pleasure from her body in ways she never thought possible. And every night since she had escaped his castle, she’d found herself here: in the forest, running from the wolf.
When man decides to assume the role of God, consequences are bound to plague such an ambition. In the case of Victor Frankenstein, the protagonist in Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein, the product of such an ambition is a creature born of the dead. Despite the frightening process of his creation, the creature wakes into the world as a benevolent being. He simply longs for acceptance and friendship, but due to his unsightly features, the world is quick to condemn him as the monster he appears to be. With an unbearable sense of rejection in his heart, the monster begins to turn wicked. Soon enough he is responsible for multiple deaths in the name of revenge. Although many treat him unfairly, the monster is fully aware of his actions
Thank you June for sharing your comments! I enjoyed learning many things about Frankenstein. I also enjoyed learning many things about evolution. Yes, science is involved with the laws of nature. Science does involve culture. Culture may be able to affect the society overall. Different cultures have a different way of living. Yes, some people may believe that it is good to earn power. Evolution does deal with organisms. Did you learn anything new while conducting your
Frankenstein was a novel written by mary shelley and has been in many commercials, and more movies. I am going to to tell the 1931 movie and the 2015 Victor Frankenstein as well as the novel. But first let's talk about the novel. Many people think that Frankenstein is the monster but if fact he is the scientist that creates the monster, and the monster is never given a name in the novel.
Several fields have studied the relationship between creator and creation. The most significant aspect of this research considers the difference between nature and nurture. Sociologists, psychologists, scientists, and other professionals have tried to pin down the exact distinctions between these two types of upbringings. In literature, the same questions have been asked and studied using fictional characters, most famously in John Milton’s Paradise Lost, in 1667, and Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein, in 1818. The complexity of the characters in these texts creates the theme of nature versus nurture before they diverge and arrive at differing conclusions.
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.
“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.”
There are many different themes expressed in Mary Shelly's Frankenstein. They vary with each reader but basically never change. These themes deal with the education that each character posses, the relationships formed or not formed in the novel, and the responsibility for ones own actions. This novel even with the age still has ideas that can be reasoned with even today.
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.
Frankenstein was a scientist who thought that the world was a secret, which he desired to discover in the scientific field. He worked to find out the relationship between humans and animals. He was attracted by the structure of the human body, any animal related with life, and the cause of life. One day, Victor Frankenstein made an experiment where he included many different human parts from different dead people. This resulted in a human being and a strange creature never seen before in life, which made Frankenstein very scared. This creature or monster was tall enough to scare people by his height and with muscles that were well proportioned.
