Frankenstein Essay

Merry Shelly’s Frankenstein shows how Victor ignores many things like his social life, family and most of all his own creation. Victor Frankenstein ignores the creature completely; he doesn’t give the creature any of his attention. The creature tries his best to get Victor’s attention by talking to him first, but when that doesn’t work on Victor; the creature changes his game to violence. Merry Shelly shows that you cannot ignore problems, you can either confront them positively or they will require your attention through negative responses.

When Victor Frankenstein first saw the creature alive, it wasn’t what he had expected it to be. The creature didn’t look like how Victor imagined it would look like, because Victor expected the creature to look beautiful and the creature turned out completely different. Victor instantly tries to ignore the creature and leaves, “unable to endure the aspect of the being i had create, i rush out of the room and continued a long time traversing my bed-chamber…” said Victor (page 49). Victor runs away from the creature instead of confronting him. The least victor could have done was at least talk to the creature or even destroy him. Victor didn’t listen to the creature or give him any of his attention.

The creature wants Victor’s attention and wants victor to take responsibility for him and take care of him. After the creature was ignored by Victor the first time he saw him, the creature confronts victor “yet you, my creator, detest and spurn me,...do your duty towards me and i will do mine towards you and the rest of mankind. if you comply with my conditions, i will leave them and you at peace; but if you refuse, i will glut the maw of death, until it be satiated with the blood of your remaining friends” (pages 95-96). This shows that the creature wants Victor to be his father and take care of him because he is the one that created him and if Victor is

    Project TA: Kai Wang (kaiwang.sunysb@gmail.com) Project #1: Switching Element Problem To be submitted: Wednesday, March 5, 2013 Project Description In this project you will write a program to produce a discrete event simulation of a switching element with 10 inputs and 3 outputs as shown in Fig. 1. Time is slotted on all inputs and outputs. Each input packet follows a Bernoulli process. In a given slot the independent probability that a packet arrives in a slot is p and the probability that a slot is empty is (1– p). One packet fills one slot. For a switching element if three or less packets arrives to some inputs, they are forwarded to the switching element outputs without a loss. If more than three packets arrive to the inputs of the switching element, only three packets are randomly chosen to be forwarded to the switching element outputs and the remaining ones are discarded. p p p p p p p p p p In your discrete event simulation the program will mimic the operation of the switch and collect statistics. That is, in each time slot the program randomly generates packets for all…

    Victor's Sympathy In Frankenstein

    Victor’s rejection and abandonment of the creature and many other people’s subsequent rejection of the creature, based on appearance, reminds the reader of how society (both in Shelley’s era and in the modern day), can and do reject those who are different and Shelley cultivates more sympathy from the reader this way. Frankenstein has had love and support from family all his life, by showing us Frankenstein’s childhood and then showing us his acts toward the creature readers are positioned to think of how callous, selfish and awful Frankenstein is as he rejects the creature and does not deem him worthy. Frankenstein tells the readers of his charmed childhood and because of this the reader thinks he’s a decent man, you also admire how he loves…

    Foil Essay: Frankenstien

    Throughout the novel, The Monster is characterized as a sensitive being; he wants to be loved and resents the fact that he was rejected by Frankenstein. As he gains knowledge and begins to grow more intelligent, The Monster comes to the realization that Victor abandoned him, that he is unwanted. This frustrates him as he continually gets rejected by society. Although Victor seems to think very highly of himself, The Monster has a very low self-esteem, “I, the miserable and the abandoned, am an abortion, to be spurned at, and kicked, and trampled on” (pg #), which stems from his rejection by both Victor and society as a whole. This character trait of The Monster makes the sort of selfishness of Victor, as it shows that, in his search for fame and glory, he was uncaring of the consequences. In creating The Monster, Victor’s intentions were not what they should have been; instead of trying to create life in order to make the world better, he was doing is for the sole purpose of becoming a God-like person. His God-complex is apparent in other parts of the novel as well, when he meets The Monster in the mountains and they have a conversation about Victor’s want to destroy The…

    Victor's Mistakes In Frankenstein

    As soon as the monster comes to life, Victor is filled with intense revulsion. He explains, "the beauty of the dream vanished, and breathless horror and disgust filled my heart.(41)" He is so surprised that it actually happened that he didn’t take time to think about what to do. He doesn’t take care of the creature and he just wishes he had never created it. Victor thinks about creating another creature but then remembers what a bad idea it was to make one in the first place. So he just doesn’t create it at all. This is one of the reasons that the monster becomes so angry with Victor and seeks…

    Similarities Between The Monster And Victor Frankenstein

    Victor talks about how he thinks that the parents of someone have a large impact on how the rest of their life turns out and says “the innocent and helpless creature bestowed on them by heaven, whom to bring up to good, and whose future lot it was in their hands to direct to happiness or misery, according as they fulfilled their duties towards me.”(6) Victor lost his mother at an early age and it has impacted his life greatly. Victor's loss of his mother and abandonment has caused many of the issues in his life but, these actions cause the monster to suffer in the same way. The monster was abandoned so it had no mother or parent to show it the way. He needed his creator to guide him. The monster needed to be taught the ways of the world so that he could fit into society. The monster got pushed into the world all by himself with nobody to lead the way. Victor and his creation both needed a mother to help take care of them. Victor needed one when he became isolated and the monster needed someone to help it understand the world. Even Victor says how he believes that the parents have a huge part in how the life of their child will turn out. The fear and disgust that Victor felt from the monster kept him from being that person that the monster needed. Someone not letting the monster know right from wrong caused him to commit the murder of the boy because he did not know the proper way to interact with…

    Victor's Responsibility In Frankenstein

    After Victor abandons the creature, creature was left vulnerable causing mental and physical pain. While he was helpless, he traveled to the town for help, however, when he got to the town, he was an unwelcomed visitor, “I entered; but I had hardly placed my foot within the door, before the children shrieked, and one of the women fainted. The whole village was roused; some fled, some attacked me, until, grievously bruised by stones and many other kinds of missile weapons” (Frankenstein, p.83). The creature was unwelcome because not only by his appearance, but no one was there beside the creature to justify that although the creature’s appearance isn’t pleasant, creature does no harm. If Victor had the took the responsibility, he could have justified and defended creature but due to his irresponsibility, the creature had to be subjected to humiliation every time he encounters…

    Gothic Class

    When Victor has his first encounter with the creature he is very shocked and scared at the same time. “Devil, do you dare approach me? And do not you fear the fierce vengeance of my arm wreaked on your miserable head? Begone, vile insect! or rather, stay, that I may trample you to dust! And, on! That I could with the extinction of your miserable existence……” Victor main goal was to create a human and whether it came out beautiful or ugly he should have never spoke that to Frankenstein. In society, we look as Frankenstein as a horrible scary monster when in fact he just always wanted to be love; he didn’t ask to be here. Because of what he went through there are causes that effect the way that he lives. When Frankenstein speaks for the first time he says “do your duty towards me, and I will do mine to you and the rest of mankind.” This is in fact rational because the creature just wants a female companion to keep him company. “I am alone and miserable; man will not associate with me; but one as deformed and horrible as myself would not deny herself to me. My companion must be of the same species and have the same defects. This being you must create.” This quote shows how much he wanted to be loved by another. Victor refuses because he did not know the consequences of making another like Frankenstein that could cause society harm.…

    The definition of the doctrine of precedent is lower courts are bound by the decisions of higher courts within the same judicial hierarchy if the facts are similar. For example, in south Australian there are three tiered or layered court system. The lower layer is Magistrate court; the Middle layer is District court and the upper layer is the Supreme Court. The highest court is the high court of Australia. So if a decision made by the Supreme Court, the Magistrate court has to follow. Moreover, the Doctrine of precedent consists of binding precedent and persuasive precedent. Binding precedent mean is that lower courts must follow higher court’s decisions when the fact is similar. Persuasive precedent means is that if decision is made by a different judicial hierarchy, lower courts do not have to follow the decision, but encourage following it.…

    Residential schools were seen by the Canadian government as a way to civilize the native population and keep their children from continuing in their native traditions. In 1895 Rev Fr A.M Carion stated in a report from a residential school in Kamloops, British Columbia that the purpose of the residential school is to civilize the Indian and to make them good, useful and law abiding members of society with strict punishments for any wrong doings. 1 Richard Pratt, who founded the Carlisle Indian Industrial School, one of the first of the reservation schools in the United States, preached “you must kill the Indian in him; to save the man”. These ideals were later adopted by the Canadian government. 2 The goal of residential schools was to assimilate Aboriginals into white society through children since they were much more susceptible to influence. This research paper will focus on the residential school system and will argue that the Canadian government and churches committed genocide amongst the indigenous populations in an attempt to eliminate the native culture. It will focus on the history of residential schools in Canada, their intended targets, the health and quality of life of the Aboriginals attending these schools, the sterilization of Aboriginal women, those who succeeded in the school system, and what has changed since the opening of the schools.…

    Frankenstein

    Victor Frankenstein, the creature and Robert Walton are three characters in Mary Shelly’s novel “Frankenstein” that are very similar due to their contribution to the duality in the story. Both Frankenstein and Walton share the common interest of science and knowledge. However similar to that they may be, Walton is also foil to Frankenstein. Frankenstein’s ambitious dream to explore the cause of generation and life leads him to self-destruction and death, whereas Walton chooses to stop his voyage due to the safety and life of himself and his crew. The creature’s hatred for Victor feeds into his monstrous side while the love he feels for the family he helped feeds into his loving and humane side. There is no doubt that this story is full of duality.…
