Monster Mash?
I would not have made the monster a mate... First, The monster had horrified everyone it had encountered, from children to hardened old men. The monsters mate could have been at least as horrible and repulsive as the original monster. The first monster could even have been as disgusted with the mate as other people had been with him. He could have experienced the same reaction of horror and fear that all of the people he had met, only with his Mate-enstein. Or, another thing that could have happened was that the Mate-enstein could have had the same reaction to the Monster Mash-man that everyone else had exhibited- fear and disgust. Then he would have again realised the pain of rejection and disappointment. This might have had two results, the first being extreme anger and another rampage of murders. Or, it could have resulted in sorrow, depression, and perhaps suicide. Next, the Mash-man and his “lovely” Mate-enstein could have done the monster mash and made lots more little monsters that could be just like the Mash-man and run around killing people. The younger ones could leave Africa where they were imprisoned and go back to Europe and terrorize people there, having one ugly thing scaring people was too much for many. The result of many little ugly things scarring people may result in mass panic and hysteria, which would probably anger the Mash-babys even more. Also, all the inter-breeding that the Mash-babys might do could really screw their genealogy and DNA up so that they were even uglier, if that is possible. And uglier means fewer friends and more scared people Finally, the Mash-man had the maturity of a small child. Really, he was scared of bright lights and fire, things that most humans his size wouldn't shed a second thought about. He also, couldn't control his feelings and and instincts so he went around killing people because he was mad. These things

    The monster, created by Frankenstein, has many material needs once he is on his own. He is essentially like a baby, he doesn’t know much about the earth or what to do to survive, and slowly he starts to learn. Once he was in the woods he started to become accustomed to the habitat, “I found a fire which had been left by some wandering beggars, and was overcome with delight at the warmth I experienced from it,” (Shelly 99). He started to realize that he needed things, like fire to survive in the wilderness. When the monster sat his creator down, and he told him that, “You must create a female for me with whom I can live in the interchange of those sympathies necessary for my being,” (Shelly 138). Nobody accepted the monster for who he was because he looked scary on the outside, but was kind and needy on the inside. The monster just wanted a friend to be able to talk to and not have run away before speaking to them. While learning from the cottagers, the monster had a need for knowledge. When talking about himself, the monster said, “ While I improved in speech, I also learned the science of letters as it was…

    We are allowed to empathize with the creature in a few ways; the first is through the way he is treated. After Frankenstein creates the monster, he locks it up and allows Fritz to bully the creature. This creates moment empathy because we create an emotional understanding with the creature. From our perspective, the creature resembles a scared animal, or a vulnerable child. It hasn't had time to distinguish right from wrong, so when it lashes out and kills Fritz; it is simply acting in self-defense. From this point on, the monster will associate his mistreatment to those who created him. What’s so interesting about his mistreatment and the empathy we are allowed to create because of it is; our first thought of a “monster” is something void of emotion, a thing of science in this case. However, during his mistreatment we see the opposite; the creature of science has emotions, and this is reinforced when he meets the little girl Maria.…

    Readers may see a parallel in their lives to that of the monster. Elizabeth Gilbert said “To be fully seen by somebody, then, and be loved anyhow - this is a human offering that can border on miraculous.” (Elizabeth Gilbert) Little to no one has disagreed or frowned upon the thought of wanting to be accepted by others. The only difference between people from reality and the monster is that the longing for acceptance shouldn’t necessarily be as violent as the monster’s, but the passion. The monster helped the readers know that what he did for acceptance was not acceptable, but everyone needs acceptance and companionship in their life not only for their social being, but their mental…

    The monsters squash, strangle, and kill those who defy them, those they hate. Grendel murders every night the humans in the mead hall, but only some. He leaves several humans alive so that his fun might continue, to keep himself company. He shouts in triumph, “I was Grendel, Ruiner of Mead halls, Wrecker of Kings”. (Gardner 80) If the humans saw him as a monster, then a monster he would be. The Monster of Frankenstein had no reason to exist, no purpose in his life. The emptiness in his life angered and his rage soon turned to Victor and his family. If Victor did not make him a mate, someone to share in his fate, he would disappear and cause no harm to anyone. Victor accepted, at first, but found he could not go through with it and so, “my mind turned towards injury and death”. (Shelley 99) The Monster went on to murder and cause the deaths of all those Victor loved, leaving Victor as alone as the Monster. Victor would now share the same fate as the Monster, a life of solitude. The deaths brought some peace to both Grendel and the Monster, but in the end it resulted with their deaths. Grendel was killed at the hands of Beowulf, an unnamed hero in the story, and the Monster, after Victor had passed, disappeared off into the distance to accept his death. A bitter sweet ending for the tragic heroes of both stories, but to think it could have all been avoided if they had been accepted by their…

    The “monster”, his creation, set his sights out on figuring out why his creator decided to abandon him. This again ties in the theme of acquiring knowledge. He began studying the actions and language outside a cottage of a nearby family, which enabled him to understand why humans shrieked at his appearance and ultimately why his creator disowned him,”accursed creator! Why did you form a monster so hideous that even YOU turned from me in disgust?” (Shelley 119). With his understanding, the “monster” became enraged “I know not; despair had not yet taken possession of me; my feelings were those of rage and revenge” (Shelley 120) In that moment the “monster” decided that he was going to take his anger out on his creator. Traveling near and far, the monster set out on a killing spree, which included the family members of Victor, his…

    The monster is the first one to start the cycle of revenge. After Frankenstein brought him to life the monster was kind and loving and glad to be there. He did not know at the time that he was not like everyone else. He was different from the world around him. "I was benevolent; my soul glowed with love and humanity; but am I not alone, miserably alone?” (p. 87). The monster fell away from being kind and sweet when he learned about the murders that can be done by man. "For a long time I could not conceive how one man could go forth to murder his fellow, or even why there were laws and governments; but when I heard details of vice and bloodshed, my wonder ceased and I turned away with disgust and loathing" (p. l07).…

    The monster continually calls out for sensibility from the romantic. The monster has a desire for companionship, and implores of his creator to make him a being of his own species. The monster also desires to be accepted by mankind. The final way the monster displays sensibility is through his desire to learn. He displays his capabilities of learning at the beginning of his creation, and continues to grow throughout the novel. Victor Frankenstein shows the individualistic, mystic, and love of nature side of romanticism. He displays individualism through his desire to be his own creator. He also rejects the help from others, and strives on selfish ambition. Victor shows the mysticism, through gaining power of being his own god. Finally, he shows a love for nature, through taking the time to breathe and admire the beautiful countryside around him. Romanticism is concluded in the comparison of the two characters, and how similar their situations are. Victor Frankenstein and the monster both have a strong desire for love from others around them. They also show great passion for sympathy from others, which they do not necessarily receive. Their situations are unrealistic, and portray the case of non-neoclassicism. Both Frankenstein and the monster experience deep sorrow throughout the entire novel. This experience is heightened when the monster is denied a companion and Victor loses all of his loved ones. In the end, both Victor and the creature share their desire for friendship, which neither fully obtain, due to the circumstances of the rejection and bitterness. Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein, displays the aspects of Romanticism through Frankenstein and his creature; they display sensibility, individualism, love of nature, non-neoclassicism, and…

    After Victor flees the monster, the monster is left to fend for himself. During this time, the monster becomes extremely lonely and depressed. He knows nothing of his origin yet seeks refuge in the woods. There he discovers a humble cottage in which a family lives. Becoming amazed by humanity, the monster lives by them for some time. Yet, eventually his loneliness overtakes him and he wishes to move in with them. They immediately call him a hideous wretch cast him out. The monster blames Victor for his loneliness and hideous appearance: “Cursed, cursed creator why do I live?! Why in that instant did I not extinguish the spark of existence you bestowed? . . . My feelings were that of rage and revenge.” (Shelly 97). This instant in which the monster is further abandoned causes him on a search in vengeance to find Victor and to confront him. Because of the monster’s characterization, being loneliness, it motivates him to revenge. As the monster travels in search of Victor, he saves a small human from dying. When the others see him and his hideous appearance, they shoot him. The monster flees in anguish and is distraught: “This is the reward of my benevolence? . . . Kindness gave way to rage and gnashing of teeth . . . I vowed eternal hatred and vengeance to all mankind.” (Shelly 101). “Thanks to the lessons of Felix, I have learned how to wreak mischief.” (Shelly 103). Since the monster’s own depiction is that of loneliness and isolation, naturally anyone would want company yet because of his appearance, he is outcast from all humanity including his own creator. Such a situation causes the monster incredible anguish and…
