Examples Of Deep In Frankenstein
Deep in The Monster’s heart
Humans tend to judge everything from the external appearance in regardless of internal essence. This can be seen from the Monster, a character in Frankenstein. When talking about the monster, people often think of malignance, fearfulness, ugliness, and frightening. No one is interested in the real identity of the Monster. In fact, the Monster is a good person. He is ashamed to do sin and prefers helping needy person and is optimistic.
Ashamedness is one of personalities of virtuous men. According to the story, when the Monster saw the poverty and hardship of the blind man’s family who lived in a hut where he steals foods every night, he stated that “This trait of kindness moved me sensibly. I had been accustomed, during the night, to steal a part of their store for my own consumption; but when I found that in doing this l inflicted pain on the cottagers, I abstained, and satisfied myself with berries, nuts, and roots, which I gathered from a neighboring wood.” The monster’s words are the evidence that the Monster has ashamedness and does not do bad things again.

It can be noticed when he went out for collecting wood and swept and cleared out the snow along the pathway of the blind man’s family. He stated that: “I discovered also another means through which I was enabled to assist their labours. I found that the youth spent a great part of each day in collecting wood for the family fire; and, during the night, I often took his tools, the use of which I quickly discovered, and brought home firing sufficient for the consumption of several days”. Another event happened when he helped a girl who drowned and lost consciousness in regardless of his own self though he was injured. This demonstrates his kindness and

    There is nothing worse than feeling detested and abhorred by society, especially if this hatred is caused solely by one's physical appearance. In Frankenstein, Mary Shelley uses the Creature to show how people are inherently good, but compelled to become evil only when ostracized by their fellow man. Although the Creature is initially full of love and is surrounded by examples of human happiness, he finds himself excluded from this happiness, through no fault of his own. The creature turns to evil only after he is spurned by humanity. Two tragic events lead to his transformation: being rejected by his 'family' - the De Laceys, and being rejected by his creator - Victor Frankenstein.…

    There is a scene where the monster comes across an old blind man in the dense forest. The monster stumbles into the blind mans small rackety cabin and is welcomed with open arms. Due to the fact that the man cannot see, he is not quick to judge the monster. He cannot see the monster’s grotesque face and large build that would scare the living day lights out of any seeing man. The old man welcomes the monster like anyone would welcome a new guest. He feeds the monster and takes care of him. The old man teaches the monster to turn his mumbles and moans into words. The two help each other out and become friends, basing their friendship off of each other’s personalities. I believe this shows us that it does not matter what you look like, what counts is who you are as a person.…

    Frankenstein’s monster is most frequently seen as, of course, a monster. He is fearsome naturally, but he has the mind and spirit of a developing human child. The creature’s youthful demeanor exhibits itself through many examples. The most prevalent childish behaviors he has are; the creature’s fear of being alone and seeking attention and love, being completely unbiased and not judgmental at the dawn of his creation, and his lack of knowledge of the world around him.…

    The monster, although it has acquired the name Frankenstein in popular culture, remains nameless throughout the novel, signifying its lack of acceptance in a human society. The monster’s rejection stems significantly from its appearance, ranging from its "yellow skin" (Shelley 42) and "dim-white sockets" (42) to its "straight black lips” (42) and a "shriveled complexion” (42). Shelley has clearly distinguished the monster, marking the first divide between monster and human. She has also established the initial trickling of the monster’s inability to associate with humans. In fact, the monster’s own creator, Victor Frankenstein, rejects it due to its appearance and refuses to interact with the hideous beast. The monster’s appearance prevents other characters from seriously interacting with the monster, as they form a prejudice against a non-human being. The fear of that which is non-human lingers throughout Shelley’s…

    Society tends to view those who are good looking in a positive way; those who are less pleasant to the eye are immediately judged in a negative way. This is the mistake Victor Frankenstein and those around him make upon witnessing the creature created by Frankenstein. The question here is, why does the monster react the way he does to humans? He was not raised to learn how to act in a proper society and he is constantly rejected by people that actually mean something to him. In Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein, Shelley uses the monster’s constant rejection from society to show that a person’s traits are affected more by environment than by nature. Early on in the monster’s story we begin to understand that he is not “evil” in the sense that Victor describes him in the first volume of the story. Though he has committed unforgivable crimes, following his story, we learn that his most innate desire is the same as any human’s – to be loved and accepted by others. It is only when he is rejected by those he cares for most (the De Lacey family) that he begins to identify with the darker side of human nature. His nature is shaped by the perceptions of the humans around him, more than any “good” or “evil” force that is within him. He discovers Victor’s letters and learns how much his creator detested him; the De Lacey children and Safie are horrified at the sight of him. However, even after the hurt of these rejections, he continues to display a desire to be helpful to humans, saving the young girl from drowning (suggesting that there is good in him) only to then be shot by her protector. Even though he has grown increasingly conscious of humans’ negative feelings towards him and has been hurt and reproached repeatedly, he has not, up until this point, enacted violence towards the humans.…

    You don't judge a monster by what they look like on the outside; it's what it's like on the inside. Even though the monster looks like a gross, gigantic mutilated human,Victor Frankenstein, is the real monster. In Mary Shelley's "Frankenstein", she gives you the perspective of three story tellers. A man named Robert Walton, the mad scientist named Victor Frankenstein and finally the monster himself. All of them except Robert Walton give their perspective. Robert Walton is just telling the story of Victor. The other two give their ideas like Victor thought he made a disgusting, terrible and ugly monster that was evil. The monster's perspective was him being confused as he came into this world and his journey to gain intelligence from other…

    The author, Stephen King, once wrote, “Sometimes human places, create inhuman monsters.” The concept of what constitutes a “monster” has been debated by countless scholars for decades. Monsters can take on many forms—in the body or in the soul; in Mary Shelley’s, Frankenstein, she discusses the concept of a monster by portraying a tragedy about an obsessed scientist, Victor Frankenstein, and his nameless creation. A series of murders occur after his monster is created, and is a topic of discussion of who is really to blame for the catastrophes. Furthermore, some people believe the true fiend in Frankenstein is Victor’s creation; however, Victor is the real monster and his creation is corrupted because of his materialistic beliefs, his self-centeredness, his thirst for fame, and his inability to accept his dark side.…

    “Am I to be thought the only criminal, when all human kind sinned against me?” The monster of Frankenstein gives the last human he meets in its life this inquiry. This being is born as a devil and his life is fulfilled by misfortune. Its dreams are all ruthlessly shattered by these humans he once trusted, especially his creator. It seems that all tragedies of this monster are caused by its appearance. Because of its appearance, people exclude it, detest it and afraid of it. It's true that the being's ugliness brings it much prejudice, however, the essential reason of its misfortune is that people see it as a non-human creature. The being is thought as something inferior by the xenophobic mankind all the time. Therefore, the being is always…

    Even though the monster is interpreted as harmful the reader can still see that has is very caring. When in the woods he encounters a woman drowning and uses “extreme labour” to save her. Contrastingly, a turning point in the plot causes the monster to show its barbaric nature which it had kept suppressed for far too long. This turning point occurs when a passerby assumes Frankenstein is killing the young girl and shoots him, when in reality he was actually saving her from drowning. This grave misinterpretation causes the monster to go into a state of rage, “This was then the reward of my benevolence! I had saved a human being from destruction, and as a recompense I now writhed under the miserable pain of a wound which shattered the flesh and bone. The feelings of kindness and gentleness which I had entertained but a few moments before gave place to hellish rage and gnashing of teeth. Inflamed by pain, I vowed eternal hatred and vengeance to all mankind.” Soon after he runs into a little boy, when the little boy identifies himself as William Frankenstein the monster’s barbaric nature takes over and he kills him for revenge against his creator, Victor Frankenstein, for giving him a life full of sorrow and…

    Mary Shelley, in Frankenstein uses appearance to depict Victor Frankenstein as the embodiment of “good” and his creation as its counterpart “evil”; through the use of imagery, allusions to the Bible, and pathos, Shelley embellishes the issue of acceptance in modern society. From the very beginning, Frankenstein relates that his creature was horrid in form. As the creature discovers Victor’s journal, he reads into his creator’s true feeling for him and expresses his despair over a lack of socialization after his blunt entrance to the world.…
