Isolation. Revenge. What do these words mean? When one thinks of the word ¨Frankenstein¨ before they read the book, they think of the monster and or the creature. But Frankenstein is actually named Victor, and he is the creator of the monster. Victor was a man who became very isolated, and did not associate with anyone for a long period of time. Thus making him get an insane idea to copy the idea of life. When he tested with life he, in my opinion, was turning himself into a monster. Looks are…

The monster has power, ambition and drive these are not only the characteristics of Victor but also his unconscious and inactive thoughts. Each character is a derived from Mary Shelley herself. The creation is well rounded and educated at such a young age and just wants to be loved. Victor is the creator and just like Shelley gives birth and they are criticized and misunderstood for being something of a different world. Elizabeth the primary female within the novel is Shelley’s idea of wanting…

the course of a few weeks. These are the results of the human conducted experiments done in “Flowers for Algernon” by Daniel Keyes and Frankenstein by Mary Shelley. These two stories follow characters that alter nature with their experimentations. Victor Frankenstein from Frankenstein animates an inanimate object that he creates using human cadavers. In contrast, Charlie Gordon from “Flowers for Algernon” grows up with a mental disability that causes him to have an extremely low intelligence…

besides his creation, desperate for his creator to feel in accordance with the joy he imagines himself to be capable of. Both characters demand that the reader engage in the “who’s at fault for the other’s dejection” debate. Even in indelible absence, Victor and the monster plague each other’s existence, both seeming to exist in excess. Victor’s volatile emotions become a constituent element of his persona, exceeding Mary Shelley’s portrayal. Similarly, the monster appears to others, and the…

In Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein, Victor Frankenstein and his creation represent a relationship between creator and the created while also forming a doppelganger relationship. It is difficult to interpret which side, either Victor or the creature, represents good and which represents evil. The more Victor pursues his dream of creating a Being; he slowly slips from being a brilliant scientist to being an insane mad man looking to play God. His thirst for knowledge before the existence of his…

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…
