distinguish the characteristics between the hero and the villain. This is not the case in Mary Shelly’s novel Frankenstein. In the novel, we meet Victor Frankenstein and his science experiment gone rogue, the Creature. At first glance into the novel, many people would debate that the Creature is, in fact, the villain because he had maliciously murdered Victor Frankenstein's family and closest friends. Of course anyone with a properly functioning brain would say that the Creature is the bad guy but what
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
distinctive characteristics and qualities of the main character.

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
kindness it had shown to them. The bad acts interact with the good revealed the monster to be human, with the capacity to commit both extremes. The seriousness of its murderous rampage was dulled by its kindness and desperation for a companion. If Victor had accepted responsibility for his creation and tended to it, all horrid acts might have been avoided
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.

reciprocates the deed. Mary Shelley in Frankenstein, presents Victor Frankenstein, a lonesome character in desperate need of a companion and does the unthinkable to develop a passion for creating his own that completely backfires. His obsession of creating a visual astounding companion transpired to a disappointment and inflicted agony upon himself and those dearest to him. Shelley uses situational irony when describing the appearance of the monster. Victor envisioned his 8-feet creature built with “[h]is limbs
myself of rest and health.” In this quote we see that Victor stops at nothing to find if he would be successful with his creation. Victor has made this project such a main priority that once it is completed and the creature comes to life he does not know what to do. Since Victor has met his goals and done what he said he wanted to do he does not want to deal with the being he just created so this becomes a problem for him.

Shelley, the author of the Gothic novel Frankenstein, conveys many messages throughout her work. The most relevant and significant message that Shelley promotes is that it is not our-man kind’s- business to carry out the jobs of the gods. This is why Victor Frankenstein tells his story in the first place. Today, in the 21st century, this warning is still valid.

The continual blur of the headlights beaming onto my windscreen as a drove along the Story Bridge was blinding. Constantly appearing at irregular increments only to disappear almost instantaneously replaced by a brighter luminescence. The lights were reflective of my life. The problems. The struggles. The incessant issues that I was encountered with. As my prehistoric Holden Ute wheezed towards the metropolis that lay ahead I could not help but contemplate the contempt that I had for the buildings
