In the movie, Victor arrives to the place where his father ashes are and meets a woman named Suzy. Even though she said so many good things about his father and about things he was afraid of, Victor did not want to show any compassion for his father. It is like the story on Real Boys, Inside the World of Boys: Behind the Mask of Masculinity. Victor was hiding behind this mask so he would not show his emotions. However, after the accident, he began to…

Victor’s selfishness is the cause of his biggest setback of being the creator of a monster rank with distain for anything with a heart that casts it aside. Early on in the story, Victor’s thirst for knowledge and ambition to create new life is quenched, but not enough for him to be proud of it. Victor’s self-centeredness is portrayed in his reaction to producing his worst nightmare in the form of a new life: (Shelley 35)…
The text finally uses the interaction between Victor and the Monster to display the similarities of their misfortunes, but then completely contrasts the two characters, leading readers to create a larger conclusion about the text. At the end of the Monster’s life story he demands a companion emphasizing Victor’s role in his misfortunes: “Instead of threatening, I am contest to reason with you. I am malicious because I am miserable. Am I not shunned and hated by all mankind? You, my creator, would tear me to pieces, and triumph… and would not call it murder” (104). The texts ironically portrays the Monster as the responsible figure attempting to change his future contrasting him to the human who refuses to participate in a self-determined change of fate. Due to the fact that the Monster is dependent on a human creator, no decision he makes can ultimately change the fate of his misfortune. Victor on the other hand not only has the choice of the Monster’s happiness in his hands, but also his own fate. By displaying the Monsters inability to change his destiny, the text emphasizes the…

When Suetonius rapidly retreated from London, he was vulnerable to attack and his primary mission was to secure reinforcements for his own small force (Fraser 92). It is important to note that many of the specifics of the battle are at times unclear. There are accounts from two Roman historians (Dio and Tacitus) from the first century, which are inconsistent at times. They likely represented the battle from a biased Roman perspective and there is limited archaeological evidence to dispute their claims. An estimate of the number of united British rebels was approximately 230,000 by this time, but this is assumed an exaggeration by multiple contemporary reviews.…
Symbolism → Victor dying represented a life of knowledge and a wonderful brain being forgotten, but also a weak heart being left behind. The monster dying represented a dream that came to life and then a dream that died, it showed that without Victor he could not remain.

* Victor earns disregard and disdain through his insufferable egotism and unprincipled and reckless judgement.

He spent several years trying to bring it to life and then Victor spends the rest of his life regretting it. We find out that the creature is alive when Victor says, “when, by the glimmer of the half-extinguished light, I saw the dull yellow eye of the creature open; it breathed hard, and a convulsive motion agitated its limbs.(40)” He doesn’t want anyone to know what he has done even though he knows that keeping the monster is not good. The monster ends up killing Victor’s wife, best friend, and his youngest brother. The monster also accidentally kills Victor’s father and 2 other people. Victor is so upset because he feels guilty, responsible and unsure of what to do…
Chaim Potok uses historic events to help shape the plot of The Chosen and create conflicts and challenges for the characters to overcome. Specifically, the Holocaust and the Zionist movement create a feeling of aversion between the Malters and the Saunders by setting the Malters' reform Jewish, Zionist beliefs against those of the Hasidic, anti-Zionist Saunders. In the end of The Chosen, after the strength of Reuven and Danny's friendship has been thoroughly tested, their bond emerges just as healthy as it was prior to their estrangement. The characters' reactions to these events shape the entire second half of The Chosen.…
After months of traveling in the dark out of sight, he was down by the stream getting water on his way to Geneva. That's when he noticed that there was a girl who slipped into the water and was struggling to swim, and he said ”I rushed from my hiding-place; and, with extreme labour from the force of the current, saved her, and dragged her to shore” (Shelley). Once he rescued her, he tried his hardest to bring her back to consciousness. The man saw him awkwardly running at him with the lifeless girl in his arms. He feared that the creature was going to do something harmful to the girl, so he shot the creature in his shoulder with his gun. The creature not only suffered physical abuse but also mental abuse. Eventually the creature wanted to have a companion. He asked Victor if this would be possible, after some discussion Victor agreed to the idea to produce another creature just like the one he already made. Midway through the construction of this new creature, a thought came into Victor's mind. He wondered if he made this new creature if the two of them would try to start a whole new race, and possibly try to take revenge on all of those that wronged him. With the thought of this Victor decided to destroy what progress he had made towards the new creature. Little did he know that the other creature was watching him through the window and saw him end what Victor promised him.…
