Similarities Between The Monster Eloquence And Persuasiveness
The monster's eloquence and persuasiveness makes it easier to sympathize with him because as a reader it makes you believe that he is very human like in the way that he thinks and behaves. This aspect of the monster allows the reader to sympathize with him because it allows the reader to get a better understanding of who the monster really is as opposed to the appearance of him. I think most film versions of the story present the monster as a mute or inarticulate so that the viewers on see his appearance. If the monster was articulate and speaking like he is in the book it would be harder for viewers to understand that he is a monster besides from his appearance. By having the monster mute in films, viewers get a better understanding that

    Similarities Between Frankenstein And In Cold Blood

    The whole book, in fact, is a questionable motive. For example, why did Victor Frankenstein create the monster? For his own fame and fortune or because he genuinely wanted to create a being which would extend the whole of science's capabilities mixed with his driving force to help mankind conquer death and diseases? But the extract I have chosen accomodates only a few of these questionable motives. The extract's plot is where the monster had been viewing a french family for a matter of weeks and finally plucks up the courage to ask for aid from the elder blind frenchman when he was alone. Hoping the blind man would "see past" his hideous looks and listen to his plea, the monster approached the home, to be met with welcome from the elderly gentleman, however, after giving his plea, the rest of the family return home to find the monster next to their father and expel him from their home not before striking him violently with a stick. The questionable motive I will be exploring is why did the monster not destroy the family or the cottage at that instant like he was able to? "But my heart sunk within me as with bitter sickness and I refrained". His motives for letting the family banish him are not very clear although in the next paragraph the monster begins to curse his creator "Why did I live? Why, in the instant, did I not extinguish the spark of existance which you had so wantonly bestowed?". This leads me to the conclusion that the monster was keeping the family alive as they were the closest thing he had to a family and he had somehow become attached to them whilst watching them for a few months. Even though his feelings were "those of fear and revenge", he still did not quit his retreat and set fire to the cottage as he threatened to do and "glut" himself "with their shrieks and misery". However, this could be contrasted with the thought that the monster might just be saving their murder for a…

    What Are Examples Of Societal Flaws

    The Embodiment of Societal Fears and Flaws in Monsters Not everything is what it seems. Underlying meanings are often much more common than we realize, yet easily overlooked. Throughout literature, this is very prominent, specifically with authors using their characters to represent deeper meanings through their existence. The purpose for this is to bring societal flaws, such as fears and issues, into the public eye, allowing for better knowledge and understanding of the topic.…

    Frankenstein's Monster Being Corrupted by Humans

    When the Monster was created by Victor Frankenstein, it was an innocent being, a blank slate to be tainted. The first jab at the Monster was the abandonment of him by its father-figure and creator, Victor Frankenstein. Then, everyone he came across rejected him. As he learned to read and understand language, he started reading books. This, along with his new-found ability to convey thoughts, allowed him to process the information better, and formulate opinions and thoughts. When the Monster states, "...I vowed eternal hatred and vengeance against all mankind"(143), you can see that that was the moment in which hate entered his life, and his innocence disappeared. He also blames and hates Victor Frankenstein, who the Monster thinks of…

    The Longing For Companionship In Mary Shelley's Frankenstein

    Throughout the monster’s life, people are running away from him in terror and it is destroying the monster’s mental state. When Frankenstein began creating the monster, he chose the most beautiful human parts that he could find, but “these luxuries only formed a more horrid contrast.” (Shelley 49) When Victor saw his whole creation, he immediately fled at the sight of the disgusting creature. The monster learns talk by listening to the DeLacey family and he learns to read by listening to Felix teach Safie how to read. Although that learning to read and write were a…

    Frankenstein Journal Entry

    When people read the book Frankenstein by Mary Shelly they sympathize with all of the characters, but they tend to sympathize more with the monster. I myself sympathized with the monster more despite his many evil deeds. It is possible that the reason for this sympathy towards the monster from us is because the monster reminds us of how we feel when we are lonely, abandoned, or angered by someone else and just the thought of those feelings being the only emotions we feel constantly for the rest of our existence is unbearable. Reading about this merciless and yet compassionate monster makes us think about the monster in us and how we would react in his situation. When I read this book it made me feel depressed and I felt everything the monster felt. “The fallen angel becomes the malignant devil. Yet even the enemy of God and man had friends and associates in his desolation; I am alone.” — Victor…

    Accepting The Monster In Mary Shelley's 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.…

    Monster In Mary Shelley's Frankenstein

    The lens through which readers encounter monsters is often a skewed one. This lens could be that of the author, who seeks to embody a monster as a horrific, non-human entity that will cause havoc in an area. Similarly, this lens could be that of a character in a piece, one who witnesses the monster’s wrath and destruction firsthand and hopes to avoid the cruel savage being. Monster narratives rarely unfold from the perceptive of the monster, and, as such, audiences must rely on other sources as to the monster’s course of action. Such voices can carry a bias with them. As in the case of the author, the omniscient perspective provides descriptions of the monster without directly interacting the monster. This perspective could easily fail to report…

    Persuasive Esaay

    Presidential candidate Mitt Romney is my choice by far compared to our last president. Romney would be my choice for these reasons: his coal support, his Christian ideas for America, and his plan for lowering gas prices for our country. Romney has continually seen what things need to be done and how to do them to make our country strive. President Obama’ s plan has been attempted but not successful in anyway. We are in a bigger debt now than when he came into office. Obama care is okay for the upper and middle class, but if you make between 20 and 35 thousand dollars a year you have to pay for the healthcare some how.…

    The skill I have choose is persuasion skill. Having a persuasive power or ability might not be so easy as one might thing as sometimes we turn to make people to do things for us without their wish which is quite different from persuasion. Everyday in my life I interact with people and at certain point in time I got myself into situations where I have to use my persuasive ability or skill in other for me to achieve my goals. Firstly when I am persuading somebody, I always engage the person(s) in question from the beginning of the conversation because the whole conversation will play a vital part in other for me to successfully persuade my audience.

    Persuasive Language

    What is language? What does it mean to people? Language is sacred to the Navajo people. Throughout Navajo history there are articles and statements that many of the youth don’t know the Navajo language because of the past history. It has not been a major issue in the Navajo Nations eye’s until the recent Presidential candidate, Chris Deschene was denied to run for Navajo Nation President because he could not speak Navajo fluently. Today majority of the Navajo people are not able to speak Navajo, let alone read and/or write it. Have education and economic status become more important than one’s native tongue? It seems like that is the status on the Navajo Nation. The Navajo language is a valuable tool that is needed…

    On Monsters

    Many people perceive monsters as anything grotesque or not looking like the norm. In the book On Monsters, written by Asma, he mentions an array of monsters. He states, “One aspect of the monster concept seems to be the breakdown of intelligibility. An action or a person or a thing is monstrous when it can’t be processed by our rationality, and also when we cannot readily relate to the emotional range involved” (Asma 10). Because our perception is blinded by appearance, we fail to see the truth behind a monster –their actions. Although people define a monster by their appearance, it’s their actions that give them their identity.…

    Flaws. The word flaw is defined as mark, fault, or other imperfection that mars a substance or object. An imperfection. A fault. The word flaw has such a negative connotation to it for no good reason. “Flaws” are treated as though they are worst possible things that can ever occur but this just isn’t true.
