One of the biggest themes that the author tries to get across to the reader is that every person has good and evil in them, but they are not equal. Throughout the book, there is a huge struggle between good and evil between Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. These two men are actually the same person, but Dr. Jekyll takes a potion to turn himself into Mr. Hyde so he can do evil deeds. He does this because everybody has urges to do evil things, but Dr. Jekyll could not risk losing his reputation as a “good” guy in the society that he lives in. The main question is if good and evil can be separated, or is everyone stuck between the fight of both.
This quote from Beowulf shows how the men in Herot are at peace until the monster, Grendel, ruins the serenity of the hall. The author implies that Grendel is a true monster and the he is evil. This, therefore, introduces the clear contrast between good and evil in Beowulf. The author of Beowulf skillfully uses the theme of Good vs. Evil to depict the differences of Grendel and the humans.

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.
It keeps posing questions such as, “What does it mean to be a monster” or “What does it mean to be human?”. The irony in Blade Runner is the blade runners (supposedly humans) act in an inhumane manner, “retiring” replicants due to their developments of human characteristics. Where as Roy (a replicant) performs a great act of mercy, sparing Deckard’s life. Roy appears “…more human than human…” (Tyrell Corporations motto) in his empathy and compassion. While in Frankenstein the creature’s fate is chosen with his appearance and societies prejudice.
These invisible crimes are used to serve malicious self-interest and to manipulate others to fear the law and to question themselves. This infests the god-fearing community with terror of the government and works people into a frenzy where the accused must confess or face punishment. It is uncompromising and doesn’t allow room to negotiate ones innocence, giving way to emphasizing fear further. “Miller’s play is a condemnation of an administration that uses religious intolerance as a way to wield control and repress its’ citizens.” Furthermore, the allegations the questions are leading. The phrase “The Devil can never overcome a minister” gives the ministers unearthly powers over the “invisible world”, further highlighting the status-quo and engendering awe and fear.

The human emotions often represented in the Romantic Era of literature are clearly displayed in the novel Frankenstein through the monster itself. The monsters emotions are what rule him. He displays every negative human quality that each of us wishes didn't exist, such as rage, jealousy, and hatred. Chapter 20 is a prime example of this, in which we can see how he demonstrates human emotion in a negative as well as a positive aspect. “"The wretch saw me destroy the creation whose future existence he depended on happiness and with a howl of devilish despair and revenge, withdrew."
By definition, “Frankenstein” means monstrous creation. Typically, the term monster brings me the figure of hideous monster, who is full of hatred and does nothing but eating or killing people. In contrast, the horrific appearance is similar to the monster in Frankenstein by Mary Shelly. However, the monster in this novels is actually a creature with a desire to learn and to be loved. This example of situational irony is only one of many found in Frankenstein.
So, Victor Frankenstein was guilty as he created the creature, and left him alone. Victor caused Frankenstein’s monstrous appearance and his appearance resulted in misunderstandings about the creature. The main point is that the guilty one of these misunderstandings, the creature’s appearance and his exclusion from society was Victor Frankenstein, the creator. Particularly by focusing on the given passages 15, 16, and19, I will try to show how far away Victor is from humanity.
