Frankenstein's monster

I argue that The Monster emerges from the darkness of the souls of the residents of Whilomville. After his heroic action, Henry Johnson lost everything: his identity, friends and popularity, he became “the monster”, “the dark figure” (28), “the devil” (32). (Which is, as defined by the Merriam-Webster dictionary, the most powerful evil spirit in Christianity), even a dragon. All of these connotations are associated with darkness, immorality, something that can be reflected in several residents…

Like the saying goes, "Nobody should judge a book by its cover." A person can't determine what type of person somebody is based on their physical appearance. Simply by walking around we are continuously judged by our appearance. Physical judgment has been around for centuries. It's a never ending cycle. In the book Frankenstein the creature spent his whole life in misery and solitude, by being neglected by everyone including Victor his own creator. The entire creature wanted was the…

Mary Shelley is a very creative writer, she wrote the 1817 novel Frankenstein. In her story, Victor, the mad scientist, creates a human like creature using electricity (lightning). The “Monster” is illustrated as an eight foot tall, yellow skinned, stitched care bear.

‘Mad, bad and dangerous’, how accurate is this description of Gothic villains in the texts studied? The quote ‘mad, bad and dangerous to know’ was originally attributed to Lady Caroline Lamb in description of Lord Byron. The Romantic poet was infamous for his behaviour: excesses including huge debts, numerous affairs and aristocratic living. In the Gothic context, however, the concepts of ‘madness’, ‘evil’ and ‘danger’ take differing, more threatening forms. The role of the ‘villains’ in…

his happiness because of his ambition and loses his wife, his family, and his career. The ending, which is might be the only part where Victor receives redemption, is when he is finally coming to terms with his mistakes as his sails away with his monster on a boat. His selfless actions to make amends, is what allows Victor to get back on the hierarchy of needs and reach the level of self-actualization. Responsibility and ownership can help a person who has created a lot of mess get back on the…

In 1818, Mary Shelley personified the shortcomings of society’s morality in the form of a destructive, ruthless, yet nearly human monster. During an era in which the Industrial Revolution saw the prosperity of the upper class directly lead to the death and poverty of the working class, Shelley wrote Frankenstein to challenge the presence of cultural inhumanity. Shelley’s novel chronicles the life of scientist Victor Frankenstein, whose studies and ambition lead to the creation of a living being…

On its face, Frankenstein is the creation story of a man-made human, turned monster. In reality, this tale is not about the creation of human, but rather the monstrous quality of devaluing a human. In short, Victor makes a human by hand, labels it a monster. He spends the rest of the story becoming a monster himself because he refuses to acknowledge the humanity of his creation. Here, to dehumanize a person is a monstrous act. Dehumanization is a broad term for things like: marginalization,…

telling the same story, the story of Hollywood. The characters in both the novel and the film share great similarities, as Sarver explains with Homer and the monster. A very similar comparison can be drawn between Faye and Dr. Frankenstein. Their relationship is dependent upon Sarver’s parallel, because Faye is to Homer as Frankenstein is to the monster. The connection between Faye and the doctor lies in their utter disregard for those around them and a false sense of their ability to maneuver…
