The outside of the castle with its gargoyles and being surrounded by dead tress made it look like it was owned by Dr. Frankenstein, but the interior looked like something out of an expensive catalogue. The old man bid me farewell, and I started walking away from his castle into an unknown forest overflowing with creatures I couldn't possibly understand. A slight breeze pushed through the forest causing the few remaining leaves that hung to the trees to plummet to the ground. My feet became buried in a grave of orange, red, and yellow leaves as I kept my gaze pinned to the map since I had no idea where I was going. The sounds of animals running through the bushes filled my ears I tried to pretend the sounds were coming from rabbits scurrying …show more content…
My finger let go off the string sending the arrow gliding through the air and into the side of the dragon's chest immediately ending its life. Blood poured past the arrow and painted the dragon's body crimson. Its body resembled an ocean where a shark attack had just taken place. Blood dripped down its scales and onto the cold stone ground that would serve as the dragon's tomb. The dragon's eyes had popped open they were full of death and confusion I tried not to look into its eyes as I walked by the gigantic corpse, but the feeling someone was watching me never passed. As I had thought sitting atop a stone pillar there was a silver dagger with strange writing on its bronze hilt. The writing was nearly impossible for me to describe, but the only language it was even slightly similar to was ancient Hebrew. I grabbed the dagger placed it in my pocket and made my way out of the cave wondering if I would be the last person to journey into this cave. Unlike me anyone else who entered this cave in search of the dagger would end up being very disappointed. The fallen warrior's hollow eye sockets looked at me as if they were attempting to push their jealousy and failure onto someone else believing it would give them another chance at …show more content…
They tied another ope around my legs to make it nearly impossible for me to flee, and then I was carried through the forest and thrown into a tent that sat almost directly beside a stream. I sat there wondering if my first day in the Enchanted Forest would be my last at any minute a bandit could walk into this tent and end my life, but that minute never came. The hours passed by slower than they did at that desk, but eventually nightfall arrived and the bandits passed out after they drank more than a hardcore alcoholic could in an entire week. I crawled out of the tent like a worm and avoided the rusty goblets and glasses which covers the forest floor. The bandits were all laid out on the ground swimming in pools of their own drool hangovers loomed over each of their heads. They rolled to and fro not caring their clothes were getting dirtier than they already

    Prompt #1: After Victor reads Elizabeth’s letter, he seems very distressed. He didn’t want his family to worry about him like that, so he quickly wrote them back.

    This passage comes from the part of the novel describing Victor's travels with Henry Clerval after his encounter with the monster. Victor and Henry have separated, Henry going to London and Victor to the Orkney Islands to fulfil his promise to create a female companion for the monster – which he hopes will free him from the creature's persecution.

    While the creature is a character that the audience cannot help but to sympathize with, several parts of his story indicate that he might not be as reliable of a narrator as he appears to be. His acquisition of human characteristics in such an efficient manner is highly unlikely since the brain which resides in his head has most likely not been used in a long time and thus would not immediately be able to make the connections necessary to interpret the world. For instance, the creature somehow manages to “improve more rapidly” than the Arabian which seems unlikely since she has had more experience with the world and a far more extensive education than the creature ever could have given himself (Shelley 127). Additionally is seems rather unlikely…

    In life, being judged by others in society is inevitable, no matter how hard a person attempts to avoid it; the only way to survive the harsh opinions is to disregard them and continue forward. The inescapable scrutiny a person encounters from mankind is commonly based on the first piece of information they are presented— one’s name. In Mary Shelley’s novel, Frankenstein, the judgement of the protagonist occurs immediately by both the readers and the other characters as a direct result of the creature’s labels from the appearance he projects to the world. Victor Frankenstein, a scientist, who after being rescued while traveling, shares his life story of his creation of “human life”. The monster who is brought into existence additionally offers…

    Throughout Mary Shelley’s well-known novel, Frankenstein, one of the biggest questions of the book is who is more human: the monster, or Victor Frankenstein. This question is one that the reader has to answer themselves and is left to be debated throughout the novel. Initially the monster seems inhuman and a being that only wants to see others suffer, mainly Victor himself. However, when we learn of the monster’s point of view, we realize that his acts are almost somewhat justified, and we even build sympathy for the monster. During this chapter, we realize that it is not the monster’s fault that he behaves this way.…

    There are many lessons to be learned through Mary Shelley’s 1818 novel Frankenstein, but many of those messages are diluted or lost all together in the digital world that we live in today. The access to digital media has indeed proven to be more convenient than those of traditional books but what some digital media fails to do is convey the rhetorical lessons in the same way that the author originally intended, such as the 1931 film version of Frankenstein. More times than not, the digital form of a text provides rhetoric of its own, which morphs the original lessons of the story creating a misconstrued message. Although some may find the film version of this text to be more entertaining due to added dramatic irony, it cannot uphold or compare…

    Personally, I think there are three elements that cause a subject to be scary. First, a subject harms human beings to satisfy themselves. A subject has more strength than a normal human being, but it uses its strength to kill, attack or drink blood other beings. It often uses their strengths to control people. Next, a subject is emotionless.…

    Crystal Gabun Professor Morrow English 105 October 20, 2014 Frankenstein Literary Analysis Over the past few centuries, scientists have made countless discoveries and advances. These developments stem from an individual’s innate curiosity and desire to further the realm of possibility through theory and experimentation. For many, the thirst for knowledge can grow so immense that one is willing to disregard the moral codes or ethical standards of society in order to push the bounds of modern science.…

    He would often yearn to dive into it to cleanse himself of the responsibility of Justine and William’s death. He would wish to become one within nature because it was beautiful and calm, opposite of what Victor thought of himself, a man riddled with guilt and fear. The creature, in a similar state of loneliness and depression, wandered throughout the forest regaining “pleasure, that had long appeared dead, revive within me…forgetting my solitude and deformity, dared to be happy” (Shelley 129). Nature affects the creature exceedingly, turning his emotions in a complete 180°, in spite of being lonely. The creature is in comfort of the beauty of nature.…

    Many of the professional literary critiques that emerged following the publishing of Frankenstein were less than positive in their evaluations of its quality and value. Some of these critics devalued it based on its failure to present a positive message to readers while others criticized inconsistencies within the story. One article that criticized both aspects of this novel was The Literary Panorama and National Register’s “Review of Frankenstein; or the Modern Prometheus.” This paper was well known in this era and considered a credible source of information regarding literature. Despite offering superficial compliments, the author attempts to prove that this work of fiction is a disappointment considering the school from which it proceeds.…
