    Victor's moral compass should have come in and took over so that he would ask himself question and carefully plan to what he would do after he created the monster if it did not go as planned. Instead, Victor didn't have this moral knowledge and completely went against all moral judgment. This is exactly what happened when the monster was created and was abandoned.…

    "I had before been moved by the sophisms of the being I had created; I had been struck senseless by his fiendish threats; but now, for the first time, the wickedness of my promise burst upon me; I shuddered to think that future ages might curse me as their pest, whose selfishness had not hesitated to buy its own peace at the price, perhaps, of the existence of the whole human race (Shelley, 20.1). " Victor may seem as though he is contemplating if he was actually wrong to create this monster, but it is the way he says that "people will be mad at him" that makes him still conceded. Towards the end he may be questioning all of his mistakes and actions but he isn't quite taking responsibility for what he has…

    Cognition, as defined in our notes, is the “mental processes related to acquisition, storage, and retrieval” (Frank P. Gengaro, Ph.D., MSW, M.A., LCSW, SI, TM, TM, TL, TMC, TTP). This basically means that cognition has a huge part in acquiring information and storing the information in an efficient way so that we can access it whenever we need to. The main way that we study human cognition is through the humanistic perspective. The humanistic perspective suggests that we are social creatures who interact with other social creatures for the sole purpose of survival. We use cognition in an adaptive, as well as, maladaptive way to survive.…

    He had many chances to do so, but never did until it was too late and the creature had already killed near everyone he cared about. When he finally decided to try to kill the monster, he was aware that the monster might kill him first. Victor looked at this positively and thought, “Well, be it so; a deadly struggle would then assuredly take place, in which if he were victorious I should be at peace and his power over me be at an end. If he were vanquished, I should be a free man” (166). He would be at peace either way, but not everyone else would.…

    After Victor surrenders the animal, despite everything he figures out how to deceive him by the remarks he makes to the animal's face and in the face of his good faith. Prior to the creation, Victor talked exceedingly of his task, trusting it will bring him distinction. His musings immediately changed when he saw the "creature" he made. Feeling confounded and terrified he said a considerable measure of egregious things. He alludes to the animal as, "...the blackguard, the soiled devil to whom I had given life".…

    He has ruined Victor’s life and others. What has he done to deserve this? Others may feel a certain degree of sympathy. These arguments are however false because Victor is entirely at blame because he has to be held responsible for his own creation. He should have cared for it despite it being so ugly.…

    Firstly, Victor shows a lack of scientific responsibility throughout his creation of the monster, and his subsequent abandonment of the experiment. During the process of building the creature, Victor is obsessed with the idea of discovering the path of immortality and being hailed by a population of creatures of his own invention. This clouds his judgement to the point he does not realize his own horrified feelings for the being. Only upon the experiments success, “…the beauty of the dream vanished, and breathless horror and disgust filled my heart” (Shelley 59). As the result of his obsession with stopping death, Victor fails to realize the magnitude of what he is doing; creating a new life.…

    In the story of Frankenstein, written by Mary Shelley, we are presented with one grand question that we frequently ponder throughout the book: Who is the true monstrosity - Victor or his creation? In the beginning, we are introduced to a seemingly positive version of Victor, one that may seem a bit delusional in his quest to create an artificial human being, yet still not one we consider a monster. But as this story progresses, does Victor eventually become the monster he created? Or was he truly the monster all along and his creation a mere reflection of himself? Despite Victor’s slight insanity and the Creature’s horrid appearance, neither one of these characters begin as a monster, but develop a monstrous nature.…

    An Eye for an Eye Although justice and fairness are nearly synonymous, not everyone in this harsh world receives a fair judgement. More often than not, justice is served to the wrong people, or the people who receive a fair trial sit silently while others receive injustice after injustice. In Mary Shelley’s, Frankenstein, justice is a key theme that is developed through the characters of the Monster, Victor, and Justine. While Victor receives justice and an almost-too-fair trial, the Monster and Justine, along with other characters receive an injustice at least once. In the novel, Victor creates the monster, breaks promises, and sits silently, only to lead to injustice for other characters and justice for himself.…

    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.…

    Upon creating the monster, Frankenstein’s intention was to create a profound new species that “…would bless me as its creator and source; many happy and excellent natures would owe their being to me (Shelley 30.)” However, when Frankenstein brings the monster to life with the use of electricity and different body parts sewn together, he is immediately horrified at the “ugliness” of his work. In Victor’s eyes, the creation is not the embodiment of these ‘excellent natures’ at all and he is certainly not fond of the idea of being the reason for its creation. The creation’s “yellow skin scarcely covered the work of muscles and arteries beneath; his hair was of a lustrous black, and flowing; his teeth of pearly whiteness; but these luxuriances only formed a more horrid contrast with his watery eyes, that seemed almost of the same colour as the dun-white sockets in which they were set, his shriveled complexion and straight black lips” (Shelley 44).…
