Mary Shelley in her book, Frankenstein, uses various images and detailed diction to introduce the perception that the creature is human, and expresses his humanity through eloquent speech, thoughts, and caring behavior to find his place among nature. In the beginning of the book he is depicted as a monster, a freak of nature, an abomination. Towards the middle, portrayed as a gentle giant, emotional, compassionate, knowledgeable, understanding. Towards the end, purposeless, like father like son…

In the story, Frankenstein - The Modern Prometheus, by Mary Shelley, several relevant and relatable themes are presented. Each theme demonstrates grave or horrific outcomes or backgrounds in meaning, which really helps aid the story in the horror genre. As said by Mary Shelley, everyone is born the same way, even monsters, but we’re just shaped by our experiences. The theme of creation and life is extremely prominent through the entire story, and with Mary’s ideology behind the theme, it’s no…

Despite these parallels, I do not feel it possible or necessary to sum up Mary Shelley’s persona by just one character or aspect of her novel. Any author is, after all, pouring their heart and life into each individual word. Every character, and every scene, is crafted by the writer. About halfway through the book, it seems as if Shelley begins to align herself more with the monster and his view of the world. Frankenstein’s monster is a physical tragedy that exists in the world of the book. He…

“So God created man in his own image” (New International Version, Gen. 1:27). Much like God created man, in Mary Shelley’s novel Frankenstein the titular character, Victor Frankenstein, creates a living being. The plot relies heavily on acts of cruelty. In the novel, cruelty functions as a result of knowledge, a catalyst for character development, and a reflection of the perpetrator’s true sentiments and the victim’s true weaknesses. Throughout the novel, multiple characters feel an undeniable…

Gabriel Garcia Marquez uses the treatment of strangers in his stories to point out that many characters are treated based on their physical appearances, even if we never discover their true personalities. In Marquez’s short story, “The Handsomest Drowned Man in the World,” the character that the story is based around is a very attractive man, but we are not aware of his personality or even his name, but people still seem to admire him because of his physical traits. “Fascinated by his huge size…

Hearing the named creature, a negative picture comes up in our psyche about it and the picture characterizes beast as a hazardous and nonhuman creature or it can be a monster with the state of the human. We were presented with Frankenstein's beast by the novel "Frankenstein" by Mary Shelley. In Mary Shelley's exemplary story Frankenstein, the famous monster is escaping human view when he experiences a bag in the forested areas loaded with books and dress. The beast peruses Milton's Paradise Lost…

In the novel Frankenstein by Mary Shelley, the two principle characters, Frankenstein and the animal are both looking for equity. This equity wouldn't have been important if not for the formation of the creature. The physical appearance of the beast is the fundamental driver of its own enormity and other individuals' disdain of it. Frankenstein's equity originates from the acknowledgment that the creature has executed the greater part of Victor's family. Different individuals from his family…

Although Frankenstein is the name of the creator of the Monster, we immediately think of the hideous looking monster when we hear the name “Frankenstein.” Frankenstein by Mary Shelley is the story of a man whose ambition drives him to seek the supernatural from his work. In an attempt to “play God,” he creates a living being. Throughout the story, Shelley intentionally or unintentionally makes her readers question what it means to be human. According Daniel Chandler, “a true monster is evil,…

Tracing nature as a Romantic feature in Frankenstein Nature works as a restorative factor for both Frankenstein and the monster. We see throughout the novel how nature allows them to have a free uncontrolled emotional experience. Nature was their source of inspiration. They had reverence for nature. It made them feel that their souls are elevated. It gave them the opportunity to be renewed spiritually whenever they wanted to escape from the hardships of life. Nature helped those…

Prejudice is defined as, “An unfavorable opinion or feeling formed beforehand or without knowledge, thought, or reason.” The majority of humans tend to judge others by appearance rather than personality Prejudice and appearance is prevalent in Mary Shelley’s novel Frankenstein as well as today’s culture which has major effects on others through race, age, religion, etc. In Frankenstein, the monster is a hideous, vicious being of large stature that has the potential to cause injury, so he is…
