Should Victor Make Decisions In Frankenstein

Decent Essays
Some occasions we feel as if we are between a sword and a wall for some critical decisions. Some decisions that you make can change the outcome of the things to come. So if Victor made the female monster who knows what could happen. Who also knows if Frankenstein would’ve kept his word on leaving? So this is why I think that Victor made the right decision. One reason why I think that Victor shouldn’t create another monster is because what if the relationship doesn’t work out at all. What if Victor makes the female version of Frankenstein and he dislikes it. He might freak out and start doing somethings that endanger others. How do we even know how long it would actually take to make the female monster? This is one reason why I think that it was a good decision not to make the monster. The next reason is what if after Victor make the female monster he actually doesn’t leave like he said that he would. If this were to happen and Victor finds out he would probably either want to kill the monsters if they had done something wrong or maybe even just force them …show more content…
Either of them would be sad and lonely and probably be horribly mad. If this were to happen in the story they would probably ask Victor to make either of them another mate but he would probably decline this time cause he wouldn’t want to deal with it again. But I think the book may be a little more interesting if these things had happened. These are the three reasons why I think it would be a good idea not to make a female monster. So as I have said before I agree with Victor’s idea on not making the female version of Frankenstein. Reasons are for the agreement is what if they don’t live as long as each other. Next is what if he actually doesn’t leave like he said he would. Finally is what if the relationship doesn’t work at all for them. These are the reasons why I agree with Victor’s

    The monster even looks up to Victor as his creator or leader, for advice on the world and his new life. Although Victor Frankenstein is the creator of one of the most influential advances in science, he does not want to take full responsibility. It seems as though Victor considers that he might have some responsibility for his actions towards the end when he decides to destroy the monster. "Had I right, for my own benefit, to inflict this curse upon everlasting generations," he states, questioning his creation and the effect it may have on future generations.…

    Victor’s statement proves to the creature that his maker had no love for him anymore, if he ever did. Victor’s actions and words sent the Creature into a crazed rampage. Again thinking only of Victor, he doesn’t concern himself with the safety of his loved ones when the creature stakes his revenge ending Henry and Elizabeth’s life. None of these careless tragic murders would have happened had Victor been responsible and led his creature down the right path, and taught him right from…

Many governments have struggled to strike what they believe to be a balance between the rights of pregnant women and the rights of fetuses. Before life is started, generally, an individual has thought about whether or not they want to create life.…

    Victor Frankenstein decided to not allow the female version of his first creation to live long, or at all for various reasons. Frankenstein’s journey with creating his first creature was not a peaceful experience. During the 2 years Frankenstein spent making his male creature large in size, since he did indeed already learn how to bestow animation upon lifeless matter, Frankenstein states “I doubted at first whether I should attempt the creation of a being like myself or one of simpler organization; but my imagination was too much exalted by my first success to permit me to doubt of my ability to give life to an animal as complex and wonderful as man” (45). Thus as Frankenstein’s excitement kept him focused on completing this goal, he was unhealthy…

    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.…

    Shelly’s acclaimed novel “Frankenstein” tells the story of a man who tries to create a new species, or master species without any female involvement. Through the creation of this character, Victor realizes that he has created a monster, and works throughout the novel to try to extinguish this being, but is ultimately unsuccessful in his goal. Throughout the story, the character of the monster parallels the character of his creator as they are related to each other in terms of their thirst for knowledge and their inability to love and learn at the same time. They are both hurt by the force of nature, as Victor is hurt by nature and bad luck throughout the novel, as it is realized that nature plays an extremely important part in the creation…
