Compare And Contrast Frankenstein And Rumplestiltskin

MONSTER

In my opinion, a monster is a character that has a different appearance from others. This difference scares people because nobody knows what the character is capable of. This makes people become fearful of him or her. A monster can be immortal, can be hydric half human half animal or hydric, can be someone who looks different from everyone, and does not fit into society. Every monster has a reason for becoming one, and every monster has a soft side. Unfortunately, some monsters do not get the chance to express themselves in society because of their appearances.
My favorite monster is Rumplestiltskin because he only appears when someone needs him. He is not the type of monster that likes to scare people randomly. There are many stories

First of all, Rumplestilskin and Frankenstein are both monster and human, they can define as hydric monsters. In the stories both characters are immortal, Rumplestilskin never dies and Frankenstein is never caught. These monsters have different appearance for society: Rumplestilskin is a short guy with long hair, point hears and point shoes, and Frankenstein is a tall monster with yellow skin color. These differences do not allow them to express themselves freely. For example, everyone is scared of making deal or trade with Rumplestilskin because he is cruel and not sentimental, and everyone is scare of Frankenstein because he is big and ugly, and everyone thinks that Frankenstein is going to hurt people. Since every monster has a reason to become one Rumplestilskin and Frankenstein are not exceptions. In the TV show call “once upon a time” shows that Rumplestilskin have a soft side; his soft side is his son. Rumplestilskin would do anything in order to protect his child. And Frankenstein’s invention was never a monster, he was normal as any human being, but because of the way society treat him, he was known as a mnster. But in reality he never was, he became one because he only was trying to protect

    Psychopathy is a personality disorder manifested in people who use a mixture of charm, manipulation, intimidation, and occasionally violence to control others, in order to satisfy their own selfish needs (“Serial Murder”). This is exactly what killer Edmund Kemper used against his victims before committing numerous, heinous acts upon them and their corpora. Not only has Kemper been infamously used as an inspiration for many films and television shows, he also serves as a constant reminder to young women across the country to stay away from strangers. Like many literary characters we’ve read about such as Macbeth, The Co-Ed Killer has brought our nightmares to life starting when he was just a young child.…

    Mary Shelly’s Frankenstein from 1831 and Tim Burton’s Edward Scissorhands are both extraordinary works of art with over a century between them. Both the book and film have a very strong similar theme between them that goes deeper than the plot and characters.

Frankenstein’s monster and Edward were both created in very similar ways but the chance to interact with humans were very different. They both came to life through inanimate parts.…

The creatures poor decisions throughout the novel made him an easy target…

    As you can see in figure 1.1 his facial features are scary because they aren 't the "norm." He has yellowish skin, abnormal forehead, big eyes, black hair, black lips, and white teeth all of which make him ugly and scary. Furthermore in the article universal horrors-Frankenstein the monsters head is described as, “the abnormal shape represented how the top of the head would look removed, with more gray mater piled in and a new cranium supplied to accommodate the oversized brain” (page 24). Although many would look at him and think he is emotionless the viewers soon realize that he is sensitive and has emotions. The audience has a sense of sympathy for Frankenstein 's monster as he tries to make friends with others but nobody wants to be friends due to the way he looks and being “the other”.…
