Epilogue To Frankenstein
“Where am I?” The creature thought. It was at a place filled with beautiful trees and other plants. It looked around fascinated. Many other creatures were in the place too. It explored the land. It saw many animals who looked similar to his reflection in the water. He talked to all the animals who were his kind and made friends with all of them. It soon became dark and became day again.
The creature started to explore more of the paradise. It stopped as it saw pieces of dust coming together and made a figure, an unusual upright figure. It looked as it was being molded like clay. It stood up. A voice spoke to him and the figure nodded his head. He looked at the creature.
“What should I name your kind?” the upright figure asked. “Maybe, oh,

    Annotated Bibliography On Frankenstein

    Hitchcock, Susan Tyler. Frankenstein: A Cultural History. Ed. Susan Tyler Hitchcock. New York: Norton & Company, Inc. 2007. 47-49. Print. Hitchcock defines Mary Shelley 's use of tabula rasa as inspired by John Locke 's essay, Concerning Human Understanding. "Knowledge of the outside world forms as sensory impressions bombard the mind and accumulate into ideas and opinions" (47). Locke argued that man is neither innately good or evil, but rather a blank slate upon which sensations create impressions which create conscious experience. A flabbergasted Victor shuns the creature 's first human interaction, shaping the character of his creation. Hitchcock attempts to link the Romantic concept of infancy and childhood…

    Frankenstein Annotated Bibliography

    Miller's book, My Hideous Progeny, talks mostly of Shelley's relationship with her family, especially her father. Miller took a chapter to specifically discuss the parallels between Shelley's familial relationships and her novel, Frankenstein. Miller argues that Shelley combined her father, William Godwin, and her husband, Percy Shelley, into the character of Victor. She talks of how Shelley explores the concept of incest by this combination of her father and husband into one character. She also shows incest through Victor's dream of kissing Elizabeth and having her turn into his dead mother. "Frankenstein's incestuous dream is the perfect revelation of something he cannot grasp in his waking moments: his desire to animate lifeless matter is ultimately traceable to his desire to bring his dead mother back to life and possess her" (63). Miller also discusses how the creature represents a daughter figure. She points out that all the daughters in the book are orphans, like the monster, and they rely on a male figure to help them. Miller shows that this relates to Shelley's life because she herself was without a mother and was abandoned in her later years by her father. Another focus in Shelley's book was the "analysis of the impact of environment upon character" (69). Miller talks of how people are changed because of the environment that they are raised in. Miller's main point is that "she used her fiction to depict and explore the daughter's baffled disappointment, suppressed anger, and passionate attachment to the father who both shaped and shunned her. Shelly told the story of the daughter's escape from the realm of her father's power and desire" (203).…

    Frankenstein Alternate Ending Essay

    I awoke in the early hours of the morning as usual. The air was thick and wet, but the day’s hunt wouldn’t wait. I got up and stretched my legs before checking the traps I set the evening before. The forest seemed unsettlingly too quiet. Did I wake up earlier than I usually would have? I walked down to the waterhole, to see if any of my nets were filled. There was a soft mist over the shallows, creating an ominous feel. I checked up and down the banks, but my nets had all vanished. With the sounding of the raven’s caw, I decided to head back up to camp. I heard a quick rattle in the leaves due east of my position, so I made haste to draw my bow and hold her steady in firing position. My breath was heavy as the musk in the air poured into my lungs.…

Their red beady eyes were filled with detest and I screeched loud enough to wake the dead. One of the monsters stuck his hairy hideous hand over my mouth and the other sprinkled around some kind of teal colored magical dust. I breathed it in and I was under their spell.

    The Narra Tree

    Even under the shade of the Narra, I have to shield my eyes from the sunlight reflecting off of the grass. In every unruly blade, I can see the rays. I turn away from the sun (I turn to the rooted giant behind me). Its trunk is enormous. I look up and feel dwarfed by its imposing stature. Its silence daunts me"¦it stands there, like a wall of hard, dead rock, and says nothing. And then suddenly, I notice a single ray of sunlight burning a hole through the thick constellation of leaves that give me shade. A bird is perched atop one of the tree's branches, preening its feathers. I see bugs, crawling, swarming in and out of the cracks in the tough, black-brown bark. The hundreds of dark orifices that mark its surface are like open mouths, jaggedly twisted into expressions of horror, of happiness and of surprise. They smile at me mockingly, and I have to smile back. It is not so daunting anymore.…
