Frankenstein Persuasive Essay

Decent Essays
Imagine there being two human killing monsters both made by the same scientist. This is a problem that Frankenstein is facing, being asked by the original monster to create a second, female version for him. A few reasons that this is a bad idea for him to go through with is the possibility of the two monsters not being a good couple, the possible increased danger for everyone due to there already being one monster that has killed two people; one directly and one indirectly. Finally, the promises made by the monster could be broken. The first reason this is a bad idea is that the two monsters might not be a good romantic match. This could go in a way of the original, male monster being rejected by the possible new, female monster. This could also end up the other way around with the female monster being rejected by Frankenstein’s original monster. Either way, there is no guarantee of them being a match for eachother. There’s also a chance that they just wouldn’t get along in general, be it personality differences, appearance issues, or some other conflict between the two that causes tension. …show more content…
Considering that the first monster had killed two people, one being direct and one indirect, the chances that this other monster would become a killer is quite likely. This could either be a natural instinct among creatures that are created so hideously, or it could have been a fluke that would transfer over due to one influencing the other. The overall increased risk of danger in creating the second monster due to the first is an issue with this idea. Lastly, the promises made by the monster could be broken. This includes the promise to live far away, not even harming animals. This could be broken by the monster just flat out breaking it or it could be done through the new monster not agreeing with the terms that were set up before she was even

    Mary Shelley showed in Frankenstein an anticipated argument that promoted a feminist message and warning against the exclusion of women as well as the debate of what is ethical. Most certainly the Enlightenment period was a time of development within most aspects of life, varying from medicine, technology, to literature as well as developing oneself to become an individual with unique thoughts and comprehending reason without simply following authoritative figures. The publication of Frankenstein exposed a novel that emerged views that the author personally believed, which expressed that the Enlightenment was dominated by masculine values. Frankenstein evoked what appeared to be the view that as men continued to venture into developing what…

    Although Frankenstein’s reasons are valid, he should have been more responsible and prepared when planning out his experiment of the first monster to not be put in the situation he is in now. For instance, Frankenstein should have had backup plans with solutions incase his original plan did not turn out the way he expected. Therefore, due to the fact Frankenstein did not take the time to plan the experiment more thoughtfully and thoroughly he did not know what to do with the living monster and so it is not the monster’s fault he is living in a lonely suffrage, it is Frankenstein's. Frankenstein did not do anything to “kill” the monster to try to have him avoid living the hatred emotions he is feeling now. Similarly to when in “Mice of Men”…

    Driven by loneliness, the creature seeks a companion so as to finally feel accepted which would supposedly stop his hatred towards society and impulses of revenge. Possibly Frankenstein owes him this as most of the blame of this gloomy story can be placed on his shoulders. He did abandon his creation from his birth and did nothing to stop the creature from going out into the world alone. Untaught and abandoned, the creature did try to be good, but his creator could possibly be blamed for his rage against society. Regardless, that rage is still present in the creature and must not be forgotten.…

    Victor’s actions and reasons have been widely discussed from an ethical and unethical point of view ever since this book was published. Some would say that Victor did this out of discovery, like we have done with plenty of influential studies in our society. Others would only see the consequences for his actions or how he got to this point and think they were unethical for human society. In my opinion I believe Victor’s actions were completely without a doubt unethical. The desecration of human graves in order to build his monster, the abandoned his creation from the first moment he gave it life, and lastly taking no responsibility for his creation, killing countless innocent people does not seem like an ethical man.…

    Shelley’s use of dark, negative sounding adjectives to describe the Creature drastically contrasts the way Ishiguro describes the clones—different and soulless. However, while these descriptions of what are the obvious monsters in each novel, the real monsters are not who one might initially think. In Frankenstein, the real monster is not the creation but the creator. Throughout the novel Frankenstein ignores the emotions and inexperience of his creation. While he might believe his creation is wretched, as the Creature’s creator he has a responsibility that he ignores and avoids.…
