Thesis: The Creature is more human than Victor Frankenstein
The creature is more human than victor because he learns all of his emotions from scratch and how to deal with them.
Proof: The creature wants companionship and love when he observes the family in the cottage, but then feels rejection when they chase him away and then wants to get revenge, for being cast off by the human race.
Explaination: All of those are very human emotions. Victor just sits around and acts sad, and as if the world revolves around him.
Point: The creature seeks to father a child and to be a parent to have a kid that will love him.
Proof: The creature tries to take William away and raise him as his own, and teaches him to love and care.

    The main character trait between Victor and the creature is their love of nature. For example, “My country, my beloved country! Who but a native can tell the delight I took in again beholding thy streams, thy mountains, and, more than all, thy lovely lake” (Shelley 52). Even though Victor is grieving over William’s death, he still finds peace and tranquility through nature. The creature also indulges in the beauty of nature and he also finds peace. “Soon a gentle light stole over the heavens, and gave me a sensation on pleasure” (Shelly 75). When Victor left the creature right after he created him, the creature had no one to care for him so he fled to woods and found that nature enlightens him just as it does for his creator. “The sky became clouded; but the air was pure, although chilled by the north-east breeze that was then rising. But it refreshed me, and filled me with such agreeable sensations…” (Shelly 134). When Victor through the female creature in…

    Later on in the passage the creature learns to avoid unpleasant feelings and knows how to get around them. For instance, when feeling hungry he searches for food just as an infant has a natural reflex to suckle when they are hungry. Another baby like trait the author describes is when the creature says, “I was a poor, helpless, miserable wretch; but feeling pain invades me on all sides, I sat down and wept.” When feeling helpless babies cry because that is the only way they can express their emotions. The creature is expressing himself by crying because there is no other way he is able to.…

    As Victor prepares to “bestow animation upon lifeless matter," he begins to defy nature and reality. He begins to raid morgues and graveyards, "Dabbling among the unhallowed damps of the grave ... collecting bones from charnel-houses and disturbing... the tremendous secrets of the human frame. ... The dissecting room and slaughter-house furnished many of my materials", starts his slow descent into madness and insanity. Even though he states that "Often did my human nature turn with loathing from my occupation," he continues to expose himself to the wretchedness of dead matter. His corruption, generated by his pride and ego, he gets ahead of himself, claiming "A new species would bless me as its creator and source; many happy and excellent natures would owe their being to me. No father could claim the gratitude of his child so completely as I should deserve theirs," Victor soon reaps the bitter fruits of his labor.…

    I believe that The creature can be considered human because, he has the same great emotions just like humans he understands pain and he knows what it is like to be miserable for the sake of himself, he has developed great knowledge over the years and has begun to understand the purpose of humans, he has understand the emotions of himself and others, he should be considered human because of his knowledge with that, he shouldn't be left behind without a specific purpose besides for the way that he looks. Over the years of being miserable he had understand the meaning of happiness when he had seen the man and the couple that had all lived together in a cabin, the had showed happiness to each other, the creature knew what it was like to be miserable, but he did not see them acting the way that he was acting which made him change his emotion on how he saw things, besides thinking about Victor, he knew that was how you would treat someone, because Victor had never treated him that when the family had showed kindness to each he felt a warm welcome…

    From his birth, the creation wishes to find companionship. While searching for food in the forest, he comes upon a village, the people inside either fear, attack, or throw stones at him. This reaction happening very early in the creature’s life shaped his perceptions of humans throughout the novel. He fears interacting with humans, yet yearns for their company. The humans have a power over him and his actions around them. Another instance of the power when the creature attempts to connect with DeLacey, knowing that since he is blind he will not react in fear or prejudice, while the conversation starts off friendly, when the rest of the family come home and see the creature Agatha faints, Safie runs out of the cottage, and Felix attacks him. This breaks the creature’s heart because the idealized expectations he had of the family crumbled the moment they saw him when he had dreamed that they would be the ones to finally accept him. This rejection spurs his revenge on…

    You start to see more of an innocent person point of view than when Victor is telling the story. As the story develops I began to feel sympathy for the creature.

They when he is in the woods he helps a girl how starts to drowned, after that he got shot at. “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.” (Shelley 298) The creature then goes on to explain after this that when he did something wrong he still got punished for…

    To begin with this analysis it is necessary to start with Victor because he is the creator of the Monster. Victor’s passion in the field of science led him to his discovery. Victor was a self educated man until the age of 17 when he left his home in Geneva to pursue higher education at the Ingolstadt University. His favorite professor, Mr. Krempe, pushed Victor to broaden his studies to all fields of science and that is when his fascination with life and living objects began. Victor’s obsession with recreating life kept him at the university for over two years studying cadavers and how the body worked. Victor’s motive was not to create a human being that would do his chores for him and take care of him, he hoped his “present attempts would at least lay the foundation of future success” (Shelley 33). His mind was in the wrong place; he was set on what doors it could open in the…

    Chatur, a Jackal, lived in a jungle. He hunted for food every day with his friends. One day he thought to himself, “Every day I work hard to catch animals for food. Then every evening I have to share it with other members of the pack. If I go across the river to the village then I can get juicy fruits and fat hens for my own. I can eat them in the village and come back to the jungle. This way I won’t need to share my food.”The next morning Chatur woke up early and went across the river. He entered the sleepy village as the cock crowed. As he wandered near a poultry farm he saw a fat hen. At once his mouth watered at the thought of biting into the hen’s juicy flesh. So engrossed was he in his thoughts that he did not see the street dogs that had gathered at the end of the lane. The street dogs had seen the stranger’s presence and rushed at Chatur barking and growling at him.Chatur turned around to see fierce street dogs barking at him. He ran to save his life. He ran into a house with an open door. As it was a dyer’s house, he fell into a tub of blue dye. He at once got out of the house and went back to the jungle.When he reached the jungle all the animals looked at Chatur terrified and surprised. Chatur then saw his reflection in a nearby pond. Realising that he was dyed blue he thought of a plan. He called out, “Jungle dwellers, I am the Indigo King, sent by Lord to rule over you and care for your well being. I have been appointed King and caretaker of the jungle. Bow to me and serve me well and I shall protect you from all harm.” The animals not knew why he was strange looking and coloured. Now Chatur had tigers, lions, elephants, deer, hares and leopards at his beck and call. He’ however banished his brethren, the other jackals, to the far side of the jungle. Chatur enjoyed his role as a king and animals stronger than him served him, hunting for his food and obeying him.One night Chatur heard the call of the his brother jackals. They were…
