    The Shadow of Victor Frankenstein

    A theme of indifference and rejection from society clearly persists through the film Mary Shelley's Frankenstein, directed by Kenneth Branagh. After Victor Frankenstein, the main protagonist, realizes that reanimation is a tangible reality, a domino effect occurs which in turn alienates not only himself but also his creation from society. The reality of the creature's existence is so gruesome that one begins to understand the negative effects that alienation can have on one's own self-perceived identity. In fact, this estrangement from society perpetuates a downward spiral for the creature as he develops a mind that is unadulterated by moral behavior while also nurturing a strong desire for revenge. Not only does Frankenstein leave the creature to fend for itself, but society rejects it as well. The alienation from all of his surroundings, and his creator feeds the creature's desire for vengeance, ultimately resulting in the deaths of every that his creator Frankenstein held dear to his heart.…

    Frankenstein and Female Monster. Victor

    In Mary Shelley’s (1797-1851) Frankenstein; Or the Modern Prometheus (1818), Victor Frankenstein creates a fiend out the dead body parts. Frankenstein, as a product of the Enlightenment and the Scientific Revolution, is obsessed with advancing the cause of science, and in becoming famous and respected."A new species would bless me as its creator and source; many happy and excellent natures would owe their being to me. I might in process of time (although I now found it impossible) renew life where death had apparently devoted the body to corruption ”(Shelley 48). This modern day Prometheus, succeeds in doing what no man has done before, create life. The man he creates is contrary to what Victor envisioned. “How can I describe my emotions at this catastrophe, or how delineate the wretch whom with such infinite pains and care I had endeavoured to form? His limbs were in proportion, and I had selected his features as beautiful. Beautiful! Great God! His yellow skin scarcely covered the work of muscles and arteries beneath; his hair was of a lustrous black, and flowing; his teeth of a pearly whiteness; but these luxuriances only formed a more horrid contrast with his watery eyes, that seemed almost of the same colour as the dun-white sockets in which they were set, his shrivelled complexion and straight black lips”(Shelley 51). After his creation comes to life, he refuses to accept his (parental) obligation; he does not care for the fiend, he does not provide it with shelter nor with food or love. He fails to teach and to instruct dismissing a relationship with his creature. Instead, in disgust of what he has done, Victor abandons “the fiend.” The fiend attempts to live a normal life; however, being abandon leaves the monster confused, afraid, left to his own devices, and angry. "'I am…

    The Deadly Ambition of Victor Frankenstein

    What would the human race be without ambition? Beyond it's definition of desiring success, it has come to mean so much more; it is the thing which keeps us all striving for greatness; it is what has brought about some of the most revolutionary, world-altering inventions the world has ever seen. On the other hand, it has also been the downfall of great leaders and societies who reached too high. In Mary Shelley's classic novel Frankenstein, Victor Frankenstein is a man who finds that ambition has taken him and those that he cares about down a deadly path, yet still refuses to admit defeat. His ultimate end is brought on by unchecked ambition designed to benefit only his own ego.…

    Mary Shelley's Frankenstein

    In Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein there are a lot of examples of how she is warning the readers about the perils of modern science. One of the biggest examples is the creator of Frankenstein, and Frankenstein himself. The fact that someone was taking the role of “god”, and trying to create life is a very scary factor in life. If someone of our kind can gain the power to create their own human life from machines, science, and electricity then they could have the ultimate power. Power is something that all human kind wants to achieve, but also fear. Power goes along with the perils of modern science, which Mary Shelley warns the readers about.…

    Frankenstein: Monsters and Their Superiority

    <br>This reflects how both Grendel and Frankenstein must have felt during their lonely lives. The monsters simply wanted to live as the rest of society does. However, in our prejudice of their kind, we banish them from our elite society. Who gave society the right to judge who is acceptable and who is not? A better question would be who is going to stop society from judging? The answer is no one. Therefor, society continues to alienate the undesirables of our community. Some of the greatest minds of all time have been socially unacceptable. Albert Einstein lived alone and rarely wore socks of the same colour. Van Gogh found comfort only in his art and the women who constantly denied his passion. Edgar Allen Poe was "different" to say the least, consumed by the morose. Just like these great men, Grendel and Frankenstein's monster do not conform to the societal model. Also like these men, Grendel and the monster are uniquely superior to the rest of mankind. Their superiority is seen through their guile to live in a society that ostrasises their kind.…

    Frankenstein and Victor

    The pursuit of knowledge is the very heart of Frankenstein. Mary Shelley depicts how the very pursuit, thirst for knowledge ruined one man’s life. Victor’s life is consumed by a want for more knowledge and Mary Shelley shows the before and after effects of that relentless pursuit. Robert Walton life could also be ruined by an endless need for more knowledge. The ruthless pursuit of knowledge, of reaching for a distant light proves dangerous to both Victor and Robert. The monster, Victor’s act of creation, eventually results in the destruction of everyone dear to him and Robert’s expedition is dangerously encased sheets of ice. It is here that the two characters pursuit of knowledge diverges. Victor’s telling of his story shows the dark path his need for knowledge led him down and ultimately his obsessive hatred of the monster, his creation, leads to his death. It is the telling of Victor’s story that pulls Robert back from his single minded mission and shows him the destruction that can lead from a blinded need for knowledge. Although the monster’s learning experiences and knowledge are not as advanced as Victor and Robert’s it is significant in this book. The monster’s thirst for knowledge was driven by a need for acceptance and understanding of his creation and ultimate rejection.…

    Frankenstein

    “All men hate the wretched; how, then, must I be hated, who am miserable beyond all living things! Yet you, my creator, detest and spurn me, thy creature, to whom thou art bound by ties only dissoluble by the annihilation of one of us.” (102) Mary Shelley's Frankenstein is a Gothic novel published in 1818. It tells the story of Victor Frankenstein - a man who attempted to play God by creating life from an “inanimate body.” (58) Frankenstein's need to prove his acumen as a scientist led to his creation of a creature that becomes a monster. Frankenstein abhors his own creation. On the night he succeeds in bringing his creature to life, he becomes frightened by his creature and abandons it with nothing to comfort it in this strange new world into which it has been thrust. The creature's first experiences were feelings of disgust, rejection, and isolation from its creator. In many ways, the creature’s story echoes that of Genie. Taken by child protective services in 1970, Genie was considered to be a feral child – “a lost or abandoned child raised in extreme social isolation.” (Thomson) Genie spent the first thirteen years of her life living in a cage, at the direction of her father, supplied only with the most minimal life sustaining physical care but deprived of emotional and physical contact. Following her removal from her abusive family home, Genie was subjected to study by professionals interested in the effect of her isolation on her linguistic development rather than being provided consistent, long-term emotional care. The alienation experienced by both Frankenstein’s creature and Genie were the result of the desire to acquire scientific knowledge with limited ethical and humanistic consideration for the subject. In the end, both seemed to be more like a human answer to a scientific question.…

    Frankenstein: A Short Story

    “I have just made a deal with the devil!”. Victor had to make another one of them. He absolutely loathed the monster and surely did not want to make a second. But to his dismay, his wife would die if he didn’t follow the monsters orders. Victor rushed faster than a bullet to his lab to prepare a bride for his creature. He felt the perspiration on his forehead as he haphazardly stitched broken appendages together “I must finish this or else my dear Elizabeth will die!” Victor thought. He grabbed a torso and threw it on the table. He grabbed two similar looking arms and two similar looking legs and unsteadily stitched them into their correct positions. He found spare hair in the messiness that was his lab and added it for a little bit of prettiness.…
