    This thesis revolves around the idea that monsters always escape because they refuse easy categorization (Cohen 6). For example, in the film Alien, the monster Ridley Scott created is part reptilian, part humanoid, and part crustacean. Monsters may have some sort of deformity or body part that prevents them from being classified. Thus, it is impossible to classify these organisms and they “escape” the margins of our coherent epistemological system of classification (Cohen 6). The fourth thesis is the theory that “The monster dwells at the gates of difference”.…

    Another form of abuse of power, according to Lars Lunsford, takes the idea of the male’s inability to give birth and applies it to Victor’s actions. Lars makes the assumption that Victor tried to take away the female’s power over procreation, further devaluing the life of a woman (Lunsford 174). In fact, Victor might have been trying to eradicate the need for females entirely by creating a race of super humans. Anne Mellor rationalizes that he cared not for those around him while he worked and especially treated women like possessions (qtd. in.…

    In Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein, the Creature is an outcast of society, which is a person who is not accepted by society’s standards because people feel as if they “need” to be “normal”.

The outcasts of society are the most interesting people in the world because they are not what people in society call “normal”. These special people are the outcome of societal action directed towards those individuals.

    In Frankenstein, Mary Shelley talks about a monster, who transforms from an innocent individual to an evil person at the end.

Thus, Shelly comments on the idea of human nature being learned and not innate through her tale of the monster. I strongly believe Mary Shelley’s portrayal of the monster in the story depicts human transformation based on their experience in the society.…
