lead the reader on an emotional roller coaster. In the book Victor doesn’t tell anyone about the monster that he has created. The only time he tells anyone is when he is on his death bed, although he tried to tell his professor he didn’t believe Victor. Robert Walton is the only one that he told that believed him. Victor kept this secret to himself because he knew that if he told anyone, they would just think he was crazy (51). When victor made the monster he didn’t have anyone around him for…

Everyone knows the great short story with the name The Outsider. But there is some debate whether the main character is in fact a reliable narrator. Throughout the story, the narrator clearly proclaims that he has lived in the castle for all of his life and does not remember anything else before that. The author even says, “I must have lived years in this place, but I cannot measure the time.” Then shortly after states, “I felt conscience of my youth because I remember so little.” This presents…

After Victor Frankenstein’s monster was granted life, he was met with horror and hostility rather than the love and compassion he sincerely desired, deprived of his rights to basic necessities. Furthermore, when Victor had abandoned his creation, he was left to fend for himself, clueless and bewildered by his creator’s reaction; the creature resorted to wandering…

In a world where everything must be donned “good” or “bad’, one has to ask the obvious question, is the science and experimentation in the novel Frankenstein good or bad? Victor Frankenstein sets a precedent of what not to do when you want to perform a science experiment. For this creature to be constructed out of absolutely nothing, Frankenstein must had to “desire it with an ardor that far exceeded moderation” which is unnecessary (p. 45). When someone wants something that bad, it needs…

Frankenstein by Mary Shelley, Victor Frankenstein is not a popular person in his culture until he created a monster named Frankenstein. The wretch brought a lot of attention to him and horrified people around the world. Victor had lots of ambitions in this novel, he took a lot of time reading and studying, which led him to the idea of wanting to create life. He was so passionate about the monster, he spent hours working on him day and night. When Victor Frankenstein was at…

thinking it would form into something tremendous; the turning point of science. Instead, as soon as the monster awoke, he abandoned him. David Soyka states, “Victor is, however, a considerably flawed creator whose irresponsibility and short sightedness produce a creature who can't help but become evil” (Soyka 1). It is proved that Victor did not think of what the outcome was going to become when he created this monster. He was thoughtless and unaccountable for his actions. This, therefore, led…

the Creature as an iconic scary monster. It wasn't until I read Frankenstein in college that I truly understood the true origins of this character. Frankenstein was not the name of the frightening creature, but his maker, Victor Frankenstein. What was the creature's name? Victor never named his creation, never gave him a true identity. The Creature, childlike in…

He allows the stranger on board and brings him back to health. While on board, Frankenstein tells him of the tale in which his monster was created. The first chapters are from the narration of Victor Frankenstein as he tells the reader of his early life. He experiences death for the first time when his mother dies before he leaves for…

I believe that in the novel “Frankenstein” the term “monster” is used in two different viewpoints. From the creation to Victor the creator, we automatically assume that this creature with superhuman powers would obviously be the monster but as the story develops, things change, we start to learn from the creations point of view and his emotions. As a reader, when we read stories about a scientist creating or bringing something to life, we are naturally more prone to assuming it’s a monster…

In the play The Diary of Anne Frank, we learn about life in the secret annex, and how many restrictions there were on their daily lives. “In spite of everything, I still believe people are really good at heart,” is a famous quote around the world today that came from Anne Frank. . She probably felt this way seeing that so many different people had done kind and nice acts for her throughout her lifetime, and it is hard to believe people could be so cruel and ignorant. The Nazis had treated this…
