Rebellious Robot Vs Frankenstein

Improved Essays
Robots and man made creatures could always be a good idea when they are helping you, but the one second they turn on you, it could become bad. The author Mary Shelley was born in 1797 in Somers Town, London England. Mary is known for her story called “Frankenstein” and her magical imagination. The other author (unknown) wrote “The Rebellious Robot” similar to Mary’s but not completely the same. Writing these two stories, the two authors had the same concept for the both stories but changed the story by changing the characters’ ages, the difference between the creature/robot and the difference audiences they were written for.
One difference in the two stories are the differences between the characters. In the text “Frankenstein”, the character that made the creature was in his early twenties or older. When he “soon arrived at his college” he reflected what he saw and it made him scared. Since the kid or young adult is in college, he would be close to the age of twenty. The other kids in the second story were probably in their teens. After they disabled the robot Greta said “I could use your help with my science fair project.” From this I can tell that they are in middle school because the science fair are normally meant for ages close to 10-14.

The story “Frankenstein” has a man-made creature that is more man like than the robot. It refers to the creature as him and picture him as following after Henry. Shelly gives the creature a third person nominative pronoun which makes the creature more alive and more dangerous. In the second story the man-made object is a robot created by Dev. Dev creates the robot to do his chores so he can have more free time to work on his technical studies. The thought that a young student has created a fully man-made robot makes it doubtful that it will go as

    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…

    Did you know that Mary Shelley, the author of one the most studied books in our recent history, was less than twenty years old when she started writing the novel Frankenstein? Pretty impressive considering how complex the book is, plot, characters and all. One of the things we all know about this book is how a doctor created a creature and this creature went on a rampage and killed people and we all think we know how monstrous he is. But that’s not the full story, some could argue that Victor Frankenstein, the doctor who created this monster, is actually more of a monstrous character than the creature that we all have come to know as the “monster”. Victor is cruel to his creation, he is neglectful, so much so that he gets his own creation to…

The situation could be compared to if a mother had an only child.

Frankenstein seemed to do the opposite of what a responsible caring parent would want to do. Instead Frankenstein tells the monster excuses on why creating a female version for him would be a bad idea.…

However, while these descriptions of what are the obvious monsters in each novel, the real monsters are not who one might initially think.

While he might believe his creation is wretched, as the Creature’s creator he has a responsibility that he ignores and avoids.…
