Victor Frankenstein’s claim that there can be no ‘community’ or overall , kinship between the creature and himself basically means that he does not want any sort of relation with his creation as he considers him less of a human and more of a monster. My opinion on this is that I completely disagree with his claim. Mainly on the basis of the most obvious reason which is it’s his creation and as the maker he has a certain responsibility for the creature. Not only this but the creature craves attention just like a child from his parents, Frankenstein rejects him which throws the creature in a spiral of hatred to mankind. On the basis
After Victor created life, he tries to run away from what he did and just forget about it, but he couldn't. The monster seeked vengeance and there was no way to get away from it. The song demonstrates Victors sense of sanity. Demonstrating the theme of too much knowledge is dangerous. Life's too short to even care at all, oh I'm losing my mind losing my mind losing control, oh oh These fishes in the sea they're staring at me oh oh Oh oh oh oh A wet world aches for a beat of a drum Oh If I could find a way to see
Just like Victor creating the monster and the conflict they had with one another, it’s a problem we will try time and time again to find out but it’s something that was never intended to be found out. Once the monster was created the man had no idea what to do with it or how to handle the situation. God knew what he was doing and that’s why it’s his power and for no one else to lay their hands on, Victor found out the hard way. Running away is never going to solve a problem if anything it will cause more. Victor’s action to run away caused William’s death and made Justine look like the killer when the evidence was planted from the blood.
Similarly to Baldur, Victor, in Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein, abandon’s his creation. Even when the monster came back with feelings and intellect did Victor still abandon the creation because it was not human. This lack of sympathy for the creation caused Victor’s humanity to deteriorate. Baldur’s, too, abandoned his creation because he did not see her as human. Despite having Down syndrome, Abba still had some intellect as clearly seen through her bird book.
Meursault then finds himself on trial for murder and loses, mostly due to his unnatural behavior. All of the events in the story seem to happen to Meursault, rather than Meursault creating the events themselves. His carelessness are what get him pushed into these situations and he does little to encourage or stop them. Meursualt lives his life indifferent and unattached. Mersault’s view of the world is a purely physical one and sees no reasoning to the nature of the universe.
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
She tempts Enkidu, when he is gives into his temptation he is giving up his blissfulness in the process. He is no longer one of the animals he once lived with. In the story of Adam and Eve and The Epic of Gilgamesh both parties were completely content until temptation leads them astray. Temptation leads to irreversible consequences: Adam and Eve are banished from the Garden of Eden by God and Enkidu is rejected from his animal friends. Adam, Eve, and Enkidu are forced to join society and can no longer live like a child.
In asking Victor to create a life partner, the monster dreams of finally finding someone to belong, granting him purpose in life. When his last hope of happiness and companionship is destroyed by Victor, who again betrays the monster, are crushes his feelings of undeniable acceptance. The monster reasons, “here was none among the myriads of men that existed who would pity or assist me; and should I feel kindness towards my enemies? No: from that moment I declared everlasting war against the species, and, more than all, against him who had formed me and sent me forth to this insupportable misery” (Shelly 117). The monster’s estrangement is replaced with his utter rage and vengeance towards his creator who brought him life, yet tantalized him with the values of a society which rejects
Frankenstein, Dr. Victor Frankenstein, the creator of this so called creature. The creature, made of human body parts, does not know anything about the world. He has to learn how to write and speak. The creature ends up teaching himself these things “I was dependent on none and related to none.”(p.5) He wants to be recognized as a human but the people of the village do not see him that way. The cottagers are terrified of him.
Tobias Moore Professor Perry ENG 242-YD1 February 10, 2011 Can Humans Change Life is a dreary, miserable experience, whose only virtue is its conclusion. There is no peace, no glory, and no joy that can mask life’s cruel intentions. Man is alone, their creations become their downfall, and the little peeks of happiness that arise are often ripped from them like a rabbit’s life to the ravenous wolf. What hope has man to change their essence? They are damned from the moment they breathe in life’s polluted air.
