Or rather, stay, that I may trample you to dust! And, oh! That I could, with the extinction of your miserable existence, restore those victims whom you have so diabolically murdered!” (M. Shelly, Frankenstein, Chapter 10) Frankenstein’s reasons for creating the monster was that he was so utterly obsessed with life itself he wanted to create a being that would never die out of his mother’s memory so no one else felt his pain, So mainly the reasons for him rejecting the monster is because it was nothing he expected and especially creating it out of his mother’s memory he felt the need to reject
More of this ominous diction that Shelley uses is shown here and it provides very disturbing imagery. The creepy imagery that is used really makes one's stomach turn so they can see the gruesomeness of the monster, and the gravity of the situation that Frankenstein has put himself in. This also helps us know how he must’ve felt in that position! Obsessed with the pursuit of knowledge, Frankenstein ends up destroying his whole life. He now lives in fear that the monster will kill him.
The Evil Created By Frankenstein In the novel Frankenstein by Mary Shelley, Victor Frankenstein animates a being made of grotesque human body parts. The hideous appearance of his creation gave the creature no chance of fitting into society or ever being accepted. Throughout the story, the monster who has a “natural tendency to kind feelings” (Bloom 100) becomes violent and aggressive after being rejected and isolated. The creature is wronged many times by his irresponsible creator who abandons him within the first seconds of his life and then refuses to provide him with a friend. These mistakes of Victors, among others, are what cause the creature’s evil actions in the end.
The creature is rejected from society starting from his creation because of how different he looks to the rest; Shelley uses “abhorred” to describe the creature and throughout the novel this reinforces the fact of how despised he is by others. The harsh plosive sound of the 'b' also reinstates this. Frankenstein describes him as a “demonical corpse” which has connotations of
Victor's best friend, Henry Clerval, is murdered by the creature as well. Finally, the monster fulfills his promise of being "'with [Victor] on [his] wedding night'" (139) by killing Elizabeth, Victor's cousin and new bride. It would seem that this beast truly is, in Victor's opinion, unequaled in "deformity and wickedness" (122). However, after closer examination, one finds that the creature, though he has committed heinous acts of violence, is not entirely at fault. In fact, it would seem that the individual responsible for the monster's actions is Dr. Victor Frankenstein himself.
People all handle difficulties in a different manner. The monster that Victor had created had a lot of obstacles take over. When the monster was created, Victor immediately felt disgusted at what he had made and how the monster moved and interacted. Victor said “the beauty of the dream vanished, and the breathless horror and disgust filled my heart. Unable to endure the aspect of the being I had created, I had rushed out of the room...”
Roajhaan Sakaki Mrs. de Rubertis H English 12B 12 February 2014 The Feministic Frankenstein Gothic literature is meant to stimulate the body’s senses and to introduce the idea of the super natural. In Mary Shelley’s, story Frankenstein, Victor Frankenstein tries to recreate life by creating a hideous monster from the remains of dead people. After being appalled by his creation, Victor abandoned his monster, and left him to survive on his own. Shelley purposely creates a world where the female roles and powers have been usurped by men, in order, to show that a world dominated by males who usurped the female roles, out of fear, would collapse and become chaotic. Shelley portrays how easily this male dominated world would collapse, to prove the importance of a female’s presence in life.
Ellie Boyce A2 English Lit Essay 'Many critics have commented that the creature is ultimately a character with whom we sympathize’ Explore Mary Shelley’s presentation of the ‘creature’ in light of this view. There are opposing arguments to this view, some believe that the creature is a vulnerable misjudged character, whose violent actions and murderous decisions are a result of his neglected creation and rejection from society. However some critics think that the creature knows his actions are immoral because of his discussion of benevolence, and that his choice to murder a child is monstrous and he cannot be sympathized with. Therefore, to begin it is known that some readers sympathizes with the monster at a very early stage, beginning at his birth/creation as he is described in a very childlike way and is immediately rejected by his ‘father’ Victor Frankenstein. ‘His jaws opened, and he muttered some inarticulate sounds, while a grin wrinkled his cheeks”.
Misunderstood Monster The story of Grendel is the story of a monster misunderstood by his human neighbors. While animalistic and brutish in appearance, his mental faculties are on par, or even exceed, those of the humans. However, due to his appearance he is alienated from a human society that he wants nothing more than to be a part of. It is this unfounded hatred that Grendel must endure from the Danes that ultimately pushes him to question whether there is any meaning or order to life. When Grendel first encounter the Danes he is feared and hated, and then attacked, due to his animalistic appearance.
People in society did not accept this creature, because he was so horribly ugly. At first, Frankenstein was a very innocent being, but as the story went along, he started to gain a dark side. With all these people telling him he’s a monster and that they want nothing to do with him, he starts build up all of this anger, lonliness, and other deep emotions in side of him. He finally
