Introduction One of the vital challenges which mankind has always faced is alienation. The nineteenth century gothic novels, Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein (1818) and Emily Brontë’s Wuthering Heights (1845-46), artistically demonstrate the never ending cycle of being an outcast in society and share the common point in presenting the character’s sense of disjunction and alienation. Frankenstein is the petrifying account of a brute which was given life and fabricated by Victor Frankenstein and…

In Frankenstein, written by Mary-Ann Shelley, Shelley portrays Victor as the ultimate monster. Throughout the novel, Shelley tests Victor’s morals and concludes him to be arrogant and selfish. Shelley depicts his immorality through the creation of the creature, abandoning his creation, and his decision to uphold his reputation and sacrifice mankind. Shelley illustrates Victor’s immorality through the creation of the creature. When Victor attends university at Ingolstadt, he decides to pursue…

Desire and Desperation for Self-Recreation Almost every teenager feels the need to prove their worth during their adolescent years. This may occur due to peer pressure at school, or to a grandparent, who is usually heard talking about “back in the day”, or most popularly, to parents who always praise an overshadowing sibling. Sometimes, this need spills over into the adult life, where a husband may feel as if he’s constantly trying to impress his parents-in-law. If it were possible, in any way,…

Dystopian novels are a growing popularity in the world. The amount of dystopian novels published has increased dramatically since George Orwell’s 1984 hit the shelves. Two other famous dystopian novels are Lois Lowry’s The Giver and Suzanne Collins’ The Hunger Games.

Children are uncanny. Seeing the children grow is fascinating, but what one fails to comprehend; these creatures of nightmares have claimed many lives. There is none other to blame but the Creators who created the monstrosity. Nicolas Abraham and Maria Torok believed that “traumatic events or secrets could be passed on without coming to conscious attention," (Smith 146); thus, the children are embodiments of ones worst nightmares. I will argue that in The Black Cat, there exist, what Abraham…

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…

The way people stereotype me and the way I really am is really different. A Lot of people think that I am rude or annoying or loud. However I think that they think this because I joke around a lot and I like to be sarcastic and I think that people take that wrong. I think that I am stereotyping because I am a teenager and people think that I am immature or I am going to do something bad and I am going to be annoying and loud. I think that adults think that teens are a certain way and…

Because beowulf was being so prideful he did not listening to an advise that a wise king gave him about pride and went on to do the things he did, the way he did them. In frankenstein it was the idea of nature,…

Yes, I think that the narrator was responsible for doodles death. The narrator push doodle to hard causing him to die. The narrator wanted to kill doodle from the start because he wanted to push a pillow on to his face and make doodle die. The narrator also hated his brother doodle because he was an invalid brother. The narrator was always negative about doodle and everyone around him. On page 1 “Everybody thought that doodle was going to die.” The narrator was saying that because he wants…
