The Creatures

sorrow, and anxiety. The emotion, fear, is shown in Mary Shelley’s classic novel, Frankenstein. The novel is based on two characters, Victor Frankenstein and his Creature. Victor created this Creature by dead organisms and his knowledge about forming life. Interestingly enough, he fears his own creation and runs from it. Meanwhile, the creature feels abandoned and goes throughout his life frightening people and himself. Both of these characters fear almost identical ideas. The similarities…

To begin with, the creature that Victor Frankenstein created is not a human in my opinion. The reasons why I believe this creature is not human is because he was not born like a human he was created by some random human body parts.( Gris Grimly, Chapter3, Pg.37)People may say he is human because he talks, he has feelings etc. for this reason they believe that this creature is human, but I disagree because there is other animals/creatures that talk for example a "parrot," and besides there are…

gave birth to something they thought was a mere child, but when she was born they realized that it was something beyond that. The creature, as they called it, was something peculiar, like a common baby, but very beautiful, strong, and with absurdly rapid reflexes. The creature, was agile, strong, and nervous, but docile with the nearest ones. One day, to such a creature, accidentally fell from a cliff in the city of pallet, where normally the sick and the elderly would throw themselves to kill…

intricacies that make us who we are. On the other hand, God has left us with many different ways to find out who we are and our purpose in life through the Bible, prayer, mediation and praising our creator. I found the discussion on ‘Humans as Finite Creatures’ in our textbook to be very intriguing. Entwistle (2015) points out that “Christian…

In the essay, The Loss of the Creature, written by Walter Percy, the term “creature” means “true experience.” When we go somewhere, we often do research on the place or talk with people who have gone to the place. We create a vision for what our experience should be like without even reaching our destination. We often get caught up in creating a vision for our experience that we forget to stop, look around, and enjoy the world. When we go to a place, we try to experience what we have planned…

The process that Frankenstein used to construct the creature was after being in college or the university for two years. After the two years Frankenstein wanted a name for himself to give him fame and so then he got the idea of creating another life form. With this idea Frankenstein grew sick staying up late nights studying the Human mechanics, the body, and Human behavior. Frankenstein felt like a slave in creating his monster because he would be locked away in his room. For instance he…

Once in a life, we have been imitating a fashion and a behavior of idol or someone. What if imitation is always occurring in everyday life to individuals? In the essay, “Strange Creatures” wrote by Susan Blackmore, she claimed that whatever individuals act or think is imitation. The study said this phenomenon called “meme”. Blackmore claimed imitating is what makes us different from animals or living species. This is because humans are imitating each other without consciousness. Blackmore said…

I think we can empathize with the Creature because for all of his strength and his body made up of corpses he is a child essentially. Because when Frankenstein said "That body is not dead, it never lived, I created it," I saw it meaning although the brain is a fully grown one and the body as well every experience for him is a new one. That is why he tried to grab the sun not understanding the concept of how far away the sun is. With Maria he did not know until after she did not float he did…

casual observer could discern the perverse glee that consumed his eyes and speed their gait, blurring the blackness of his actuality. They would not offer him a name, could not offer him a name, as such a creature, certainly, did not deserve such dignity. For the truth about this man, this creature, is that his very being did not warrant a name, an existence. Such were the petty indulgences of man, self-perpetuating constructs that served as only a hindrance to the depraved, unyielding, nature…

Upon my arrival at Commonwealth Honors Academy a mere twelve days ago I was ignorant to the fact that I was going to learn so much in my time spent here, but now I look back and realize that I have gained so much knowledge and I have acquired more details to add to what I knew before arrival. Overall I have learned that most things in life require constant attention and effort to make them truly work and that anyone you come in contact with and create an influence with will then, in turn, make a…
