The Gothic short story is a literary genre that although brief, is thought provoking. It is a genre characterized by several conventions including a simultaneous attraction, yet repulsion to a particular thing, the magnification of a given element as well as an archetypal setting such as an abandoned church or a monastery. In Nathaniel Hawthorne’s short story “The Birthmark”, Hawthorne uses several of these conventions and presents the reader with Aylmer, a man of science who forms an obsession…

place by creating life, as in the story of “Paradise Lost” a life that was so hideous, and frightening, that even the eyes of the creator were so frightened he rejected his own living creation. The creator was Victor Frankenstein, who was a mad scientist who played the role god in creating life who also craved knowledge, but…

When political scientists look at voting behavior and political beliefs, they often turn to people’s upbringings. When looking at this, one area often studies is the environment where people grew up. This means the city and state of a person’s upbringing. While many say that the most effective way to influence political beliefs is through those closest to a person, the geography of where they grew up cannot be ignored. States in America vote for presidents, not people directly and this provides…

Hazel Grace Lancaster is your average cancer patient. She is obsessed with A Imperial Affliction By Peter Van Houton. The one extraordinary thing is her little infinity with August Waters. This the greatest infinity of all times. "A boy was staring at me. I was quite sure I'd never seen him before. Long and leanly muscular, he dwarfed the molded plastic elementary school chair he was sitting in. Mahogany hair, straight and shirt. He looked my age, maybe a year older, and he sat with his…

originally gave Prometheus the job to create, he never gave any details or gave any regard for the actual process or result. Much like Victor, who just built something from the ground up without looking at what was underneath the surface. They are the mad scientists who just want to create and they do not think about the results or what could happen to their creations. They both, in fact, turn their backs on their creations once they realize that they were not what they wanted. So, they…

yet we just stared and watched. We were such intelligent people, yet not one of us took advantage of it. Not one of us stood up for our rights, our dignity, and our pride. We were all so weak, mentally and physically. All I saw were cowards. I was so mad at my people. Until… I met a man called Avraham. He had been leading a resistance force within the northern end of the ghetto for over a year, where he had already established an army of over two hundred people. He was a man I strongly admired;…

the light of her imagination lit up the room. Her creativity being tattooed into the indents of the paper, taking from her nethermost horrors and ideas and converting them into words. Letter by letter scribbling away quickly a warped tale of a mad scientist placing life into a creature he made piece by piece, and the lives they conducted. Frankenstein also known as The Modern Prometheus, a novel written by Mary Wollstonecraft Godwin Shelley in 1818, was a narrative comprised of incidents and…
