Frankenstein Monster Monologue
It was the loud “Bang!” that left a gaping hole in the wall, the “Thump!” of the vase that went flying across the living room, and the “Crash!” of the figure falling onto the hardwood floor.
It was the ever-so-unapologetic “I’m sorry…”, the oh-so-loving laughter, and the slurs of a drunken bastard.

These were the sounds made by the man that called himself, my father – my monster.

The monster that thought it was okay to lay his hands on the ones that he swore he had loved, the monster that had severely damaged us since the very first time. He wasn’t furry with sharp teeth and talons, nor was he hiding under my bed, waiting to scare me after I had fallen asleep. I’ve never been scared of monsters…until the only monster that scared me was the

    As I observed his ghastly shadow I saw that he was over 8 feet tall. He had huge claws so each on looked like a dagger itself, ripping and tearing at the flesh of my fellow companions. He had long horns that curled inwards like a rams horns. He had a long, scaly like tail that swung and whipped in the air followed by a flop on the ground in a joyless motion, as if it too, like the monster, was thrilled to taste the succulent human blood flowing over the tongue and trickling down the throat.…

    Victor- (pg. 28) “Learn from me . . . how dangerous is the acquirement of knowledge, and how much happier that man is who believes his native town to be the world, than he who aspires to become greater than his nature will allow." Here Victor is warning Walton against following his example. This quote expresses the regrets Victor holds towards the knowledge he grasped and shows that he would have rather been naïve or less knowledgeable. It seems as though Victor believes ignorance is blissful thinking.…

    The pursuit of knowledge is at the heart of Frankenstein, as Victor attempts to surge beyond accepted human limits and access the secret of life. Likewise, Robert Walton attempts to surpass previous human explorations by endeavoring to reach the North Pole. This ruthless pursuit of knowledge, of the light (see “Light and Fire”), proves dangerous, as Victor’s act of creation eventually results in the destruction of everyone dear to him, and Walton finds himself perilously trapped between sheets of ice. Whereas Victor’s obsessive hatred of the monster drives him to his death, Walton ultimately pulls back from his treacherous mission, having learned from Victor’s example how destructive the thirst for knowledge can be.…

    You are running in the forest. After running past a couple more trees, you turn around. There is nobody. But you know, there is. The man, that you could not quite make out his face, must be following you into the forest just like he did on your route back home. He was chasing you home and you dodged through the nearest yard. This is how you find yourself in the forest. You thought you lost him. It is all unknown, just like the forest is. You stop to catch your breath, as you think you have some time to spare.…

    Some people argue though that one does not need to have anything do do with ones creator like in this quote,"Man need no longer be in awe of his creator; he no longer even feel grateful for being created. He can turn his back on God with a good conscience and set about charting his own course, seeking out ways to remake an imperfectly created world, even to change his own nature for the better"(Hogsette). This quote talks about how in life now we don't need a God figure in one's life today. The monster though would disagree with this. The monster was left alone for his entire life and kept looking for something to make him happy and if his creator would have been in his life he would have known a lot more and would have made his life a lot…

    • 613 Words

    Despite the fact that after being treated the way he was by others, the monster seeks revenge for Victor’s abandonment and for making him an unbearable scene to be seen by mankind. Throughout the novel, the creature seeks revenge by killing Victor’s love ones one by one. In Chapter 11 when the monster is telling his tale to Victor he states, “… but I had hardly placed my foot within the door, before the children shrieked, and one of the women fainted…and fearfully took refuge in a low hovel...” Yet, after seeing the dark side of the monster Victor is still un-human for his abandonment of his creation. It’s a horrible thing to abandon one’s creation and very cruel to leave a defenseless thing roams about by itself in the world and hoping that it will die soon. Victor was wrong to abandon his creation because of its appearances; he didn’t bother to get to know the poor monster. The author did a great job making the reader feel more sorrow for the monster than for Victor. The monster has been attacked and hurt for doing either nothing at all or helping others.…

    Frankenstein Essay

    Frankenstein, by Mary Shelley, is arguably one of the most controversial novels of the 19th Century. It discusses the concept of science verses human conscience in a technological world. The Gothic atmosphere of the novel reflects the dark feelings of society at the time, and Shelley utilised pathetic fallacy, her chosen form and imagery to suggest a twist on the real monster of her story. Shelley uses poetical language and perspective to emphasise how the monster is a model Romaticist, and to express the importance of belonging and communication to a judgemental society. Symbols, contrasts and ‘heavenly’ adjectives are used to portray Victor Frankenstein as a God-like figure; expressing how we must never interfere with nature’s course and take on God’s role to the knowledge-greedy culture of the 1800’s, which was consumed with the Industrial Revolution. Shelley has manipulated her writing to convey her personal ideologies, and to reflect her concern for a loss of ethics in a society fixated on the pursuit for answers.…

    Although both pieces elaborate the effect of poor communication, Whale effectively demonstrates the substantial loss of complexity in the character through the role reversal of language and appearance. Rather than the experiences turning the creature into a monster, he is painted into the image of one. The misrepresentation of the creature prevents the ability to sympathize with him as it is able to while he recalls his story in the novel. While in the text the nature of the creature is unknown and Frankenstein flees in horror, in the film he is aware the brain of a man of brutality is used, but the creature is given a chance and is nurtured by Frankenstein. Sympathy is offered to the creature in the novel when he explains his story and his…
