Essay On Frankenstein And Albino's Face Constant Threat Of Attack

In the poem “Frankenstein” by by Edward Field and the article “Tanzania's Albino’s Face Constant Threat of Attack” by John Burnet, the main idea is they are both treated with violence. In the poem “Frankenstein”, Frankenstein is tortured by a Baron and the people in the Village. In the article, the Albino’s have their limbs sometimes chopped off because some witch doctors think they are magical. These two passages are paired together because they both have something to do with mistreatment. There are many similarities in these two passages. One example is that they are both attacked by people. ”More than 100 albinos have been violently attacked in Tanzania,”(John Burnett). “He is pursued by the ignorant villagers, who thinks he is evil and dangerous because he is ugly and makes ugly noises. They wave firebrands at him and cudgels and rakes,” (Line 7-10). This shows that the Albinos and Frankenstein make people think because they don’t look normal.
Furthermore, they both are seen as people who are different just from the way they look. The article says that the Albinos have impaired vision which make it hard to see
By analyzing these texts, I have evaluated that you shouldn’t judge someone by the way they look. The passage I had prefered is “Frankenstein” because I found it a little bit more interesting and it tells how the monster felt. In the Albino article, it is just someone who is interviewing Albinos and not an Albino telling their struggles. I better understand the author’s point in this article when he states that Albinos die from people cutting off body parts. Personally, I don’t think that it is fair that they both are considered differently than others. After reading these two examples of discrimination, they both leave me thinking about why do people treat others
