Both were treated unfairly and weren’t liked by people. They both were used in some sort of experiment. Firstly, who ever you are and whatever you lack shouldn’t hold you back from having friends. Both Charlie Gordon and the monster had difficulties appealing to people and this was very disturbing to them. For example, the monster was hated by all and he knew that he could never have someone that looked normal because of the way he was.
Frankenstein The dictionary defines bibliotherapy as “the use of reading materials for help in solving personal problems or for psychiatric therapy.” After reading Frankenstein by Mary Shelly I found that the monster uses books to not only educate himself on humankind, but also to help him cope with the many mental problems he experiences. The four books that Shelly selected for the monster to read are books that the monster can relate to and ends up learning new levels of emotion through them. These books are Goethe's The Sorrows of Young Werther, Putcher’s Putcher’s Lives, Milton's Paradise Lost, and Volney's Ruins of Empire. I believe that if shelly had chosen different books then the outcome of the story would not be so devastating. Therefore,
In the Lord of the Flies, Jack has been trying to destroy Ralph since chapter 1 because he wanted power. “He’s like Piggy. He says things like Piggy. He isn’t a proper chief” (112). Jack is telling the boys that Ralph is a coward and doesn’t deserve being leader.
Furthermore, Scott highlights the lack of ethical and moral responsibility of the parent in Blade Runner through Tyrell and the replicants, specifically Roy Batty. Tyrell is a predatory Capitalist; he displays little to no empathy towards the replicants as "they were designed to copy humans in every way except emotions" despite their development of it anyway. For that reason, a fail-safe installation of a four-year life span to prevent their development of emotions accentuates Tyrell's lack of moral and ethical responsibility for his 'children,' dehumanising Tyrell whilst reinforcing his motto for the replicants, 'more human than human.' Therefore, the parental qualities of the creators in both Frankenstein and Blade Runner are among the values challenged and reflected within the age that the texts were written
The monster acts with extreme selfishness and from that comes unethical behaviour and actions. After not getting what he wanted, he promises to destroy Victor’s life and threatens him, by saying “I go; but remember, I shall be with you on your wedding-night" (137). The monster decides to unrightfully take revenge on Victor. The monster is so self-centred that it is incapable of acting ethical, and that its actions are solely to achieve its horrific goal. The above quote also ties in with one of the themes of the book, which is monstrosity.
He also creates the unhappiness amongst his replicants, “it created a virus so lethal the subject was dead before it even left the table,” through the flippant tone we see his lack of responsibility, like Frankenstein, he acts more like the monster than his creation. “Also extraordinary things, reveal in your time,” Tyrell’s dismissive tone, gives a similar impression of his lack of morality and care for others. Even when faced with the threat of death, he refuses to increase the happiness of his creation, much like Frankenstein when faced with the proposition of the creature; “I refused, and I did right in
An example of Sykes lack of morals is, “If you such a big fool dat you got to have a fit over an earth worm or a string, ah don’t keer how bad ah skeer you” (705). Cleary Sykes does not care if he hurts or scares Delia and continuous to scare Delia with his ruthless actions. Delia also has lack of morals. Delia shows her lack of moral by leaving her husband in the house
Ponyboy just had to see Johnny kill Bob and that was enough to make him lose his innocence. People like Randy and Steve just resent and hate the world so much that that would cause them to lose their innocence as well. Someone could lose their innocence just by thinking bad thoughts. S.E. Hinton definitely does not agree with William Blake’s poem: The Lily because in The Lily, William Blake is saying that innocence cannot be abolished or destroyed.
This could cause conflict between the creator and the created as Victor is repeatedly insulting the monster. In addition, Victor rejects the Monster immediately after its creation; he calls it a 'wretch' and leaves it to fend for itself. This shows how irresponsible Victor is as he abandons his responsibilities. It is also another example of him neglecting his family, since the Monster sees him as its father. This creates conflict between the monster and Victor as the monster soon begins to hate him for abandoning him.
Victor discovered the secret of life and creates an intelligent but abnormal monster. Victor keeps his creation of the monster a secret, feeling increasingly guilty and ashamed as he realizes how helpless he is to prevent the monster from ruining his life and the lives of others. The monster is an eight-foot-tall, hideously ugly creation of Victor Frankenstein. Intelligent and sensitive, the monster attempts to integrate himself into human social patterns, but all who see him avoid him. His feeling of abandonment compels him to seek revenge against his creator.
