    The text finally uses the interaction between Victor and the Monster to display the similarities of their misfortunes, but then completely contrasts the two characters, leading readers to create a larger conclusion about the text. At the end of the Monster’s life story he demands a companion emphasizing Victor’s role in his misfortunes: “Instead of threatening, I am contest to reason with you. I am malicious because I am miserable. Am I not shunned and hated by all mankind? You, my creator, would tear me to pieces, and triumph… and would not call it murder” (104). The texts ironically portrays the Monster as the responsible figure attempting to change his future contrasting him to the human who refuses to participate in a self-determined change of fate. Due to the fact that the Monster is dependent on a human creator, no decision he makes can ultimately change the fate of his misfortune. Victor on the other hand not only has the choice of the Monster’s happiness in his hands, but also his own fate. By displaying the Monsters inability to change his destiny, the text emphasizes the…

    Instead of standing up and taking the blame for creating the monster which ultimately led to the death of his brother, he lets the trial go on and lets Justine die for a crime she did not commit. Victor is more accountable for this death than Justine is because of everything he did to the monster to lead up to this moment. He created the creature and then left it all alone in the wild. The monster could obviously reason and wanted to harm his creator for his abandonment. As he was walking he heard that this man was related to Victor, killed him, and then planted evidence so that it looked like Justine had committed the crime. Victor refuses to take charge of his own actions and instead casts a gloomy fate on all of those close to him. His wife, Elizabeth, is killed later in the story right after they get married.

He learns how the family helps each other out when they are in need. Before encountering the De Lacey family, the monster had never witnessed hospitality and compassion since he was chased from everywhere else he had been. The monster realizes that the world is not as cruel of a place as he had previously assumed. Learning this new style of life, the monster obtains a motive to keep living. When confronting Mr. De Lacey he opens a conversation, not knowing his hideous appearance, other family members entered the house and were horrified. “Felix, Mr. De Lacey's son, dashed me to the ground and struck me violently with a stick” (Chp. 7) Felix's impulsive reaction to the monster's presence corrupted the monster's friendly view on life, and once again saw the harsh and cruel actions that he previously experienced. Along with the savage beating that the monster had suffered, the De Lacey family had again twisted the monster's feelings, allowing it to crawl back to loneliness and misery.

    The “monster”, his creation, set his sights out on figuring out why his creator decided to abandon him. This again ties in the theme of acquiring knowledge. He began studying the actions and language outside a cottage of a nearby family, which enabled him to understand why humans shrieked at his appearance and ultimately why his creator disowned him,”accursed creator! Why did you form a monster so hideous that even YOU turned from me in disgust?” (Shelley 119). With his understanding, the “monster” became enraged “I know not; despair had not yet taken possession of me; my feelings were those of rage and revenge” (Shelley 120) In that moment the “monster” decided that he was going to take his anger out on his creator. Traveling near and far, the monster set out on a killing spree, which included the family members of Victor, his…

    He ends up getting in Victor’s mind until he ultimately dies. He spent the rest of his life trying to get away from the monster and then trying to track it with clues. There are some similarities and differences between the monster and Victor Frankenstein. The similarities are that they both possess physical power. Victor has the ability to put a life together by putting body parts back together and has power over science. Likewise, the monster has the physical capability to have ability over life in the fact that he can kill. The difference is that Victor is bringing life back and the monster is killing. Another difference shows that Victor realized he had power and felt guilty and the monster has never felt any remorse. A similarity is that the monster and Victor are both self-centered. The monster wants a mate for himself and does not think of the outcome it may have. Victor is self-centered because he created the monster because he originally wanted to have the power over science and life. He sooned learned that power was not all that he thought it was. Victor was also self-centered when he did not turn the monster into authorities when it started killing people. If he would have done this originally, he would not be in trouble or feel guilt and remorse. They both are similar because they are not very intelligent. Victor might have brains to build a body back but he was too arrogant and stupid to realize what could possibly happen. Likewise, the monster had the brain capacity of a baby and did not know anything socially or mentally at all. He just knew he wanted to get back at Victor for not building him a…

    In the two years it took Victor to create the monster, he was completely isolated, caring only about learning and creation. “Natural philosophy is the genius that regulated my fate” (22). Victor was so concerned about creating life, that he blocked all his family and friends out of his life for two whole years; therefore, after the monster was created, he had nobody to turn to except the monster, which he was utterly ashamed of. The monster is very vindictive, not because he is evil and hateful, but because he knows what people think of him, causing him to go into isolation. After discovering the notes that Victor wrote during the creation of the monster, he realizes that nobody likes him, not even his creator. “Why did you form a monster so hideous that even you turned from me in disgust?” (94). The monster is furious and confused as to why he was even created if nobody appreciates him; after reading the letters, this causes the monster to go into isolation, all while creating a plan to seek revenge on Victor.…

    Whether it be the 4th of July, a day at Disneyland, or Chinese New Year, fireworks can be used to appeal to people of all ages, genders, and races. These low explosive pyrotechnic devices are primarily used for aesthetic or entertainment purposes. Fireworks come in various forms, including sparklers, firecrackers, basic fireworks, and ariel or display fireworks. Those who watch firework displays find that those can be broken into smaller categories by four primary effects. These effects include noise, light, smoke, and floating material. Because of the varying types available, it is common for fireworks to be classified by how they perform, whether it be on the ground or more commonly, aerial. The overall dangers associated with that particular kind of firework is another factor of classification as well. Although fireworks can be easily found in stores and on display, few people truly understand the physical and chemical properties that exist to cause a complex chemical combustion like this to occur. Due to the general public’s lack of awareness, it is common for severe injuries and even death to take place.…
