    Frankenstein Chapter 2 Dialectical Journal

    The coachman approached the side of the coach, opened the door and he peered inside the coach, "Okay lad come out. " Lucinda's level of fear intensified before being able to react as a result of sight of four riders in the distance, approaching the coach. One of the riders, she remembered was the man with the long beard covering his large unsightly scar. The coachman, "Leave the carriage or will I drag you out?" Staring directly into his eyes and drawing her knife: "I warn you, the best is that you will give up your plans, whatever that may be, you'll regret it if you would not."…

    Frankenstein Chapter 1 Dialectical Journal

    Though I may have been trapped here for some time, I have managed to stay sane through drawings. I drew how I felt when I felt it. Now however, I am growing restless, and am tempted to peer into the outer world, even though I know it will bring dread and resentment upon my mind. Yet I still have a sliver of hope in my heart and so I decided to view- the mounted screen. I turned it on and waited for the bulbs to warm themselves. Finally an image began to fade into place. I was astonished at what I saw.…

    Frankenstein Research Quotes

    I chose this quote because I believe it showed the theme of the stories in the book thus far, curiosity. With each of the four stories within the book they have all dealt with curiosity. My quote is referring to the curiosity that Snork and Moomintroll just couldn’t seem to ignore when they realized that the hat did magical things like turn you into other creatures. They decided they had to test their theory but on an enemy of course, “And now I think we’ll pour him into the hat,” said Snork. “So that he will be changed like I was,” said Moomintroll. However, as the quote I chose foreshadows, curiosity can get the best of us. Snork and Moomintroll quickly second guess this decision, “They stood in terrified silence looking at the pot”. A few…

    Frankenstein Monster Quotes

    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…

    Victor Frankenstein Revenge Quotes

    The craving for vengeance spurs uncontrollable, dangerous emotion that bear equally as dangerous consequences. Following the monster’s creation, Victor Frankenstein’s very existence is driven by the desire for revenge, distorting his once clear, purposeful mindset. Victor’s appetite for revenge is self-destructive, he constantly “burn[s] with rage to pursue the murderer of [his] peace” (121). For years and years, Victor Frankenstein’s hunger for retribution grows and his feelings of rage, loneliness, regret, and even suicide, intensifies and the emotions consume his former, passionate self. By representing the lust for retribution as “burning”, Shelly suggests that experiencing such a profound feeling of rage can create an unstoppable force…

The creature’s youthful demeanor exhibits itself through many examples. The most prevalent childish behaviors he has are; the creature’s fear of being alone and seeking attention and love, being completely unbiased and not judgmental at the dawn of his creation, and his lack of knowledge of the world around him.…

    Victor Frankenstein And Socrates Analysis

    Victor Frankenstein’s statement fits well with the example of one of the greatest philosophers: Socrates. Although Socrates was very sophisticated, he ended up murdered through poison because of that. This goes back to the topic of knowledge taking you to a more negative experience in life or even to the end of your life. Socrates was well educated and had so much knowledge in his head compared to the sophists at the time that he was painted with a physically huge head. This led Socrates to seek out knowledge everywhere and question everything in the style of the Socratic method. The whole world Socrates questioned starting with simple everyday tasks. This led people to get angry because they could not fathom Socrates’ ideas. The…

    The Destruction Of The Monster In Mary Shelley's Frankenstein

    In Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein, the creation of a second monster leads to the destruction of Victor Frankenstein’s health. The monster is tired of not being accepted by the human species, and demands Victor creates a female monster companion for him. The monster pleas and reasons for hours about why Victor owes it to him to create a female companion, and Victor finally gives in. He agrees on the condition that the monster must abandon the territory forever, which Victor must believe will put a cease to the destruction of his own health: “I consent to your demand, on your solemn oath to quit Europe forever, and every other place in the neighbourhood of man, as soon as I shall deliver into your hands a female who will accompany you in your exile”…
