Stealing fire from the Gods was a really bad thing to do because fire was something that only Gods could have. By Prometheus betraying the Gods, not only from stealing fire from them, but also for trespassing an immortal territory by playing God (Prometheus created a man and that was the duty and job of the Gods) he was punished. His punishment was very painful, having his liver eaten out every night for the rest of eternity. Now think, how does the story of Frankenstein has to do with the story of Prometheus? What do they have in common?
On the other hand, ‘evil’ mainly refers to the monsters that Beowulf had fought, including Grendel, Grendel’s mother, and the fire dragon. There are many biblical references as well. Having similar themes of good versus evil, there are many connections the author makes. In Beowulf, the side that is meant to represent good is mainly Beowulf but also includes the important characters that were on his side, such as Hrothgar, and Wiglaf. By defeating Grendel, he shows that man, without armor and weapons, can defeat evil in any form including that of his enemy Grendel.
This part of the epic is starting to describe the torment and badgering that Grendel receives from the Danes in Herot. *Grendel’s motive for killing a portion of the Danes is not what one would normally think. In addition, this is what is what Grendel hears everyday from Herot,“ As day after day the music rang / Loud in the hall, the harp’s rejoicing / Call and the poet’s clear songs, sung / Of the ancient beginnings of us all / … Conceived by a pair of those monsters born / Of Cain, murderous creatures banished / By God, punished forever by the crime / Of Abel’s death ” (Raffel 40). The songs of Herot in which they call him a felon, torments Grendel day after day, by calling him the most dangerous and disastrous monster there is. Grendel had never disrupted the Danes or done anything to make them hate him so much.
Although the reader is able to see the more curious and confused side of Grendel, his evilness is not chosen. Although the evilness he shows is innate in him and taught, Grendel is a self-made monster, or a victim of his own creation. In one sense you feel pity for him, but you know that he should be feared and hated. The first passage of this story basically describes the building of Heorot. Hrothgar, decides to build a type of sanctuary for his warriors that he names "Heorot".
I know grendel is a monstrous creature because he kills without remorse throughout the entire book. …I saw myself killing them, on and on and on… ” (Gardner 81). This quote is when Grendel enters the mead hall in the night and all the Danes keep running at him trying to kill him. The next quote is right after the dragon puts his charm on Grendel who decides to test it out. “I held up the guard to taunt them, then held him still higher and leered into his face… As if casually… I bit his head off, crunched through the helmet and skull with my teeth and, sucked the blood that sprayed like a hot, thick geyser from his neck,” (Gardner 79).
Is this "monster" truly the "wretched devil" (68) Victor believes him to be? Or is he actually a "fallen angel whom [Victor] drove from joy for no misdeed... [and that] misery made a fiend" (69)? The case for the creature being a "hideous monster" (102) is quite strong. He murders young William Frankenstein with his bare hands; afterwards, he frames Justine Moritz for the crime because he "is forever robbed of all that she could give [him, therefore] she shall atone" (103). Victor's best friend, Henry Clerval, is murdered by the creature as well.
“Am I to be thought the only criminal when all human kind has sinned against me?” As a creator, Victor Frankenstein abandons his creature, and neglects him in ways a creator shouldn’t. This shapes his identity and shows that he is in fact monstrous in the way he acts towards the creature. He quotes in the book “He showed unparalleled malignity and selfishness in evil”; this is quiet an ironic quote Mary Shelley has used, as Victor is in fact the evil and egotistical being between the two. The use of emotive language as the Creature tells his story, allows the reader to feel sympathy for the creature. We begin to realize the true identity of the creature, and how it is more humane then humanity itself.
The First Beast in Revelation 13 The dragon brings forth two henchmen (Chap. 13) to help in pursuit of those who believe in Jesus. Satan is embodied in a political ruler, the beast from the sea (13:1), who will blaspheme for “42 months” (13:5). This is Paul’s man of lawlessness (2 Thess.2:2-12) and the antichrist of John (1 John 2:18, 22; 4:3; 2 John 19:20) who comes up from the earth (13:11), seeks to deceive the earth so that its inhabitants worship the first beast. Chapter 13 is to be understood in connection with Dan.
Since Victor was a social outcast he decided to create a friend but instead created a monster. In his selfish needs he brought to life a creature made out of stolen body parts and unnatural chemicals. In doing this the monster was eight feet tall with yellow glowing skin, lustrous black hair, pearly white teeth, watery eyes and straight black lips(Bentley). This description leads us to believe that the monster is one hideous looking creature. Every person the monster ever comes into contact with is terrified of his image and unwilling to give him a chance.
The monster also always runs away from him leaving some traces for Frankenstein. The reason why the monster leaves some marks would be that he didn’t want to break the relationship with Frankenstein because he was the only person who knew and proved the existence of the creature himself in the world. And also the creature thought Frankenstein as a God or father even though he really cursed the Frankenstein who made him to live in the harsh world without any help. We can see this with the tears and ejaculation of creature at the moment of death of Frankenstein. I think this is the most sorrowful part in the whole story.
