As a result of Victor’s pursuit of scientific knowledge and the desire to infuse life, he created a very grotesque creature that murdered his loved ones. The very act of creating such a monster makes the deaths of those innocent people Victor's fault. Although the monster physically murdered Victor's loved ones, I easily concluded that if Victor had not been successful in his endeavour to create such a monster, then the lives of those closest to Victor would have been spared such tragic fates. As the creator, Victor is responsible for the actions of his monster. However, the creation of the monster did not have to result in such horrific acts.
Once the monster knows that Victor will not make his a friend, the creation says, "'from that moment [he] declared everlasting war against the species, and more than all, against [Frankenstein] who had formed [him] and sent [him] forth to this insupportable misery'" (121). Victor could have saved his loved ones but his fear caused the death of others. The Creation reaches a point where he has had enough of Victor and says, "'You can blast my other passions, but revenge remains -- revenge, henceforth dearer than light of food! I may die, but first you, my tyrant and tormentor, shall curse the sun that gazes on your misery'" (153). The Monster had done nothing to deserve what Victor has put him through, so the fact that the Creation turns on Victor was perfectly normal.
All in all, Beowulf, King Arthur, and William Thatcher all withhold the traits of a legendary hero. Beowulf of Beowulf is a legendary hero in everyway. He suffered a humble birth due to the fact that he was a scrawny child who did not like to fight unless in battle unlike his peers. This made everyone believe he was worthless. By killing nine sea monsters during a swimming race, and then slaying the beastly Grendel and his mother, he shows many signs of greatness in his youth.
After isolating himself from everybody for two months while creating his monster, his health started to deteriorate, and in the end died alone. Nikola Tesla, also a great inventor who shared the same fate. Spider describes Tesla’s fate“ He died broke in 1943eight months before the Supreme Court proclaimed him the true inventor of the radio”(67). Both just being reduced to a nobody who should have been credited for their scientific discoveries. Their ambition has caused much destruction to the one responsible but it does not just end there.The effects of one person’s ambition has the ability to affect people around them.
Frankenstein’s abandonment of the Creature arguably leads to many of the events that later occur in Shelley’s novel Frankenstein. Only too late does Frankenstein realise it was his duty to care for his creation when instead he had fled and left it to survive alone in the world. This neglect of his duty showed Frankenstein to be weak and the creature later uses this weakness to seek his revenge. The Creature always lacked a parental figure to help and teach him. He only realises this though when he observes the De Lacey family.
The novel Frankenstein, written by Marry Shelly is a science fiction novel about a university student who is obsessed with the passion for science and creating life. The student, Victor Frankenstein creates life using body parts he collects from various graves. His creation a supernatural being, possessing powerful strength and physical deformities. The monster is abandoned and left to live a life of isolation. The monster despises Victor for creating and abandoning him.
He decides yet again, “No: from that moment I declared ever-lasting war against the species, and, more than all, against him whom had formed me, and sent me forth into this insupportable misery.”(97) When the creature realizes that he will never be accepted by society because of his looks he comes up with one last plan. He asks Victor to create a “companion.” Victor's promise to do this temporarily calms the monster within the creature until Victor goes back on his promise. Upon finding this out the monster within him resurfaces and he asks, “Are
Mary Shelley and her novel Frankenstein Mary Shelley’s classic novel Frankenstein tells the story of young scientist Victor Frankenstein and his pursuit to create life. Intrigued as a child with unconventional science, Frankenstein isolates himself from his friends and family because of his obsession. After many months collecting pieces of bone, muscle, and flesh from cadavers, Frankenstein sews each piece together forming a hideous monster. Before Frankenstein becomes aware of what he is doing, a bolt of lightning strikes and his creation comes to life. The appearance of the creature as well as the remarkable event that has just taken place overwhelm the scientist so much so that he flees from his apartment and immediately becomes ill with
In Frankenstein, “The Monster” is Frankenstein's creation. The creature possesses all of the qualities that humans suppress, or should suppress, as children: villainy, murderous thoughts, revenge, etc. Some people would have thought that Frankenstein wanted to replace his dead mother. Instead of doing what every other man does, marry someone like his mother, Frankenstein rejected Elizabeth, who was physically like his mother and had a history like that of his mother. Frankenstein wanted to recreate his mother, but instead he made a creature comprised of the socially repressed elements of Frankenstein (the monster) and his wish for his mother.
Dear Prince, I beg of thee to drop or even minimize the charges towards Romeo Montague. Please do this task I ask you because even though Romeo killed Tybalt, it was out of revenge considering Tybalt was the one that killed. Tybalt also wanted to fight with Romeo, so Tybalt started this whole thing. The two families always hated each other, so it’s not like Romeo did it for no reason. I believe Romeo killed Tybalt because Tybalt was the killer of his best friend Mercutio.
