Frankenstein's Monster-Personal Narrative

Improved Essays
Oh, what hast thou done! I have created a monster! What deplorable thoughts had possessed me and taken root in my subconscious? How consumed was I in my works to not take notice of the evil being formed by my very hands? I can clearly recall my initial reaction, “…the beauty of the dream vanished, and breathless horror and disgust filled my heart.” I had believed myself to be fully comprehensive to the task which I had undertaken, but I could not foresee the horrors which had taken shape in it’s place. The creature’s complexion was of a sickly pallor, it’s once believed beautiful features had suddenly taken a hideous form. I very narrowly escaped my certain demise when I fled from the wretch, but now I fear for myself and others at every turn.

    In the novel Frankenstein, Marry Shelly definitely shows the influence of the Romantic Period. One of the most important features of the novel is the way in which the creature convinces Frankenstein to comply with his request in Chapter 17. Throughout the better part of their exchange, the creature's tone is reasonable in the extreme: in fact, his desire for a companion seems almost noble. In this way, he will divest himself of his longing for violence and revenge, and lead a blameless life. By aligning his maliciousness with his misery, he is implicitly blaming Frankenstein for what he has become: such an accusation, however, is effective in evoking the sympathy of both Victor and the reader.…

    His countenance struck fear into my heart as his wretchedness were indescribable, yet it’s capacity to comprehend, interpret language, depicted an intelligent and determined spirit. I am unable to disagree with the creature’s desires, his physique alone overpowered that of mine. In confinement and fear, I hesitantly agreed to the creature’s demands. I accompanied the hulking beast into the lab, the instruments of life laid out as if it was pieces to a puzzle, he presented Victor’s transcriptions and guided my hands in creating another hideous monstrosity, her yellow skin covering the interworking of muscles and arteries, her hair a lustrous black much like his provided the nightmarish contradictions nature intended. The process of galvanisation began, movements sprung within the vessel and agony filled the room.…
