    Did you know that Mary Shelley, the author of one the most studied books in our recent history, was less than twenty years old when she started writing the novel Frankenstein? Pretty impressive considering how complex the book is, plot, characters and all. One of the things we all know about this book is how a doctor created a creature and this creature went on a rampage and killed people and we all think we know how monstrous he is. But that’s not the full story, some could argue that Victor Frankenstein, the doctor who created this monster, is actually more of a monstrous character than the creature that we all have come to know as the “monster”. Victor is cruel to his creation, he is neglectful, so much so that he gets his own creation to…

    In an article titled “The Psychology of Revenge” a study was done by phycologists Kevin M. Carlsmith, Timothy D. Wilson, and Daniel T. Gilbert to show the effects revenge truthfully have on people. “People tend to believe that retribution of some kind effectively releases the tension and anger someone feels toward the transgressor and his action, and that payback helps to assuage negative emotions, supplanting them with positive ones”(Streep). It is most common for people to believe that revenge helps a person move on, however this is not what the psychologists found: “It wasn’t just that punishing the transgressor didn’t provide a release but, in fact, made participants focus on and ruminate about both the transgressor and the transgression more” (Streep).
