Have you ever tried to put something together and no matter how how hard you try you still can’t figure it out or get it right? In both of the passages “Frankenstein” and “The Rebellious Robot” it shows the same storyline but in different points of views. In “Frankenstein” the story is in Victor’s point of view and in “The Rebellious Robot” the story is third person point of view, so like an outsider looking in. But, even though both of these stories are told in different points of view, there are many things that are both similar and different. In the first story, “Frankenstein” the story is told in Victor’s point of view. So when reading this passage you only get to read Victor’s thoughts and feelings about the situation. If the point of view was in Henry’s point of view then readers wouldn’t know what is happening. Meanwhile, in the second passage, “The Rebellious Robot” is in third person. So basically like an outsider telling the story. By using different points of view for these similar stories i think it gives the reader different ideas about how the story could go if it was in a …show more content…
For instance, in the “Frankenstein” passage Victor was scared of the monster he created, he didn’t want his friend Henry to see the monster either. It’s like Victor was ashamed of the monster. He even used these phrases in the story, “The thought made me shiver”, “I dreaded to behold this monster”, and “But i feared more that Henry should see him”. While in the “The Rebellious Robot” passage Dev was overconfident about the robot he created. Also he showed off the robot to his friend Greta unlike Victor. Dev basically thought nothing could go wrong with the robot. When something did go wrong with the robot Dev just said, “It was a simple malfunction, which i have now without a doubt remedied, and the robot will proceed with its cleanliness initiative.” Dev just blowed it off like it was

    The Narrator’s point of view is a very important factor in a story. How a story is perceived is highly influenced by the perspective from which the story is being told. While comparing two stories, the point of view of the narrator is an important point to consider. After analyzing “The Yellow Wallpaper,” by Charlotte Perkins Gilman and “The Story of an Hour,” by Kate Chopin it’s clear that: the narrator’s point of view is vital to “The Yellow Wallpaper”, but nowhere near as important to “The Story of an Hour”. Because the “The Yellow Wallpaper” uses first person to narrate the story it helps the reader to understand the reasoning behind the actions and feelings of the protagonist.…

    In both of the novels, the creators separate themselves with both distance and knowledge. Dr. Frankenstein wanted to be as far from his monster as possible, and the society that created the clones forced them to live separate lives without connections to the outside world. The society was successful at maintaining their power because the clones had so little knowledge that they did not know why or how to question the system the created them. But the monster, on the other hand, was exposed to the world and had knowledge on how those around him lived their lives. Because of this he saw that he was different and longed for normalcy in his life.…

    The novels Frankenstein by Mary Shelley and Heart of Darkness by Joseph Conrad can be considered commentaries on the themes of discrimination, obsession, exploration, and the result of the lack of understanding and responsibility. Both novels are written in a framed narrative form, comprehensive of the views, thoughts, and values of contrasting characters. Both Shelley's character, Victor Frankenstein, and Conrad's portrayal of European colonists reflect how overruling obsession can result in isolation from basic human sympathy, concerns and morals. Their obsession, a result of their pursuit for authority and glory, are ironically matched by their lack of social conscience. The idea of public opinion and universal insight is discussed by…

    Many similarities and allusions lie within the unfolding plots of stories to instill reference or provide relevant context to subjects within the story itself. One of the most notable references in Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein is the parallel it establishes between itself and the ancient Greek myth of Prometheus. In this gothic novel, a titan named Prometheus, a notable trickster amongst his fellow celestial beings, bestowed the gift of fire and metalworking to the race of men of the earth; in response to his actions, Zeus, the most powerful of the gods, brought punishment down on Prometheus in the form of lifelong torment. In almost every way, Shelley modeled the plot of Frankenstein such that the exact same myth is retold in a different form,…
