Monster Mash?
I would not have made the monster a mate... First, The monster had horrified everyone it had encountered, from children to hardened old men. The monsters mate could have been at least as horrible and repulsive as the original monster. The first monster could even have been as disgusted with the mate as other people had been with him. He could have experienced the same reaction of horror and fear that all of the people he had met, only with his Mate-enstein. Or, another thing that could have happened was that the Mate-enstein could have had the same reaction to the Monster Mash-man that everyone else had exhibited- fear and disgust. Then he would have again realised the pain of rejection and disappointment. This might have had two results, the first being extreme anger and another rampage of murders. Or, it could have resulted in sorrow, depression, and perhaps suicide. Next, the Mash-man and his “lovely” Mate-enstein could have done the monster mash and made lots more little monsters that could be just like the Mash-man and run around killing people. The younger ones could leave Africa where they were imprisoned and go back to Europe and terrorize people there, having one ugly thing scaring people was too much for many. The result of many little ugly things scarring people may result in mass panic and hysteria, which would probably anger the Mash-babys even more. Also, all the inter-breeding that the Mash-babys might do could really screw their genealogy and DNA up so that they were even uglier, if that is possible. And uglier means fewer friends and more scared people Finally, the Mash-man had the maturity of a small child. Really, he was scared of bright lights and fire, things that most humans his size wouldn't shed a second thought about. He also, couldn't control his feelings and and instincts so he went around killing people because he was mad. These things

    The monster continually calls out for sensibility from the romantic. The monster has a desire for companionship, and implores of his creator to make him a being of his own species. The monster also desires to be accepted by mankind. The final way the monster displays sensibility is through his desire to learn. He displays his capabilities of learning at the beginning of his creation, and continues to grow throughout the novel. Victor Frankenstein shows the individualistic, mystic, and love of nature side of romanticism. He displays individualism through his desire to be his own creator. He also rejects the help from others, and strives on selfish ambition. Victor shows the mysticism, through gaining power of being his own god. Finally, he shows a love for nature, through taking the time to breathe and admire the beautiful countryside around him. Romanticism is concluded in the comparison of the two characters, and how similar their situations are. Victor Frankenstein and the monster both have a strong desire for love from others around them. They also show great passion for sympathy from others, which they do not necessarily receive. Their situations are unrealistic, and portray the case of non-neoclassicism. Both Frankenstein and the monster experience deep sorrow throughout the entire novel. This experience is heightened when the monster is denied a companion and Victor loses all of his loved ones. In the end, both Victor and the creature share their desire for friendship, which neither fully obtain, due to the circumstances of the rejection and bitterness. Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein, displays the aspects of Romanticism through Frankenstein and his creature; they display sensibility, individualism, love of nature, non-neoclassicism, and…

    Children in school didn't like Bryant and he often claimed they were bullying him and at first glance it would seem that society was to blame. As it turns out, like Frankenstein's creature they were scared of Martin, not for the same reason they were scared of Frankenstein's creature but regardless, their cruelty stemmed from fear. Martins iffy upbringing and the creature’s complete absence of one resulted in both of them responsible for the murders of innocent people. While martin never had a chance, frankenstein did, yes society was the last straw, but we all live in society and the majority of us don't murder so the idea that society creates a monster would make all of us a monster and yes we all have major problems whether we admit or even acknowledge them, they are definitely there. They don't make us monsters, There is always more at play, people are complex and there is never just one reason for our becoming a monster, though in Frankenstein's creatures case the major issue put in simple words was his lack of preparation for society, not society…

    We are allowed to empathize with the creature in a few ways; the first is through the way he is treated. After Frankenstein creates the monster, he locks it up and allows Fritz to bully the creature. This creates moment empathy because we create an emotional understanding with the creature. From our perspective, the creature resembles a scared animal, or a vulnerable child. It hasn't had time to distinguish right from wrong, so when it lashes out and kills Fritz; it is simply acting in self-defense. From this point on, the monster will associate his mistreatment to those who created him. What’s so interesting about his mistreatment and the empathy we are allowed to create because of it is; our first thought of a “monster” is something void of emotion, a thing of science in this case. However, during his mistreatment we see the opposite; the creature of science has emotions, and this is reinforced when he meets the little girl Maria.…

    Readers may see a parallel in their lives to that of the monster. Elizabeth Gilbert said “To be fully seen by somebody, then, and be loved anyhow - this is a human offering that can border on miraculous.” (Elizabeth Gilbert) Little to no one has disagreed or frowned upon the thought of wanting to be accepted by others. The only difference between people from reality and the monster is that the longing for acceptance shouldn’t necessarily be as violent as the monster’s, but the passion. The monster helped the readers know that what he did for acceptance was not acceptable, but everyone needs acceptance and companionship in their life not only for their social being, but their mental…

    Three events led to the creature’s turning point at which he started doing evil things.

    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…

    The monster is the first one to start the cycle of revenge. After Frankenstein brought him to life the monster was kind and loving and glad to be there. He did not know at the time that he was not like everyone else. He was different from the world around him. "I was benevolent; my soul glowed with love and humanity; but am I not alone, miserably alone?” (p. 87). The monster fell away from being kind and sweet when he learned about the murders that can be done by man. "For a long time I could not conceive how one man could go forth to murder his fellow, or even why there were laws and governments; but when I heard details of vice and bloodshed, my wonder ceased and I turned away with disgust and loathing" (p. l07).…

    In the novel Frankenstein, Victor Frankenstein and his creation are analogous, but there are many differences between the two. Victor grew up with loving siblings and parents and they never denied him anything. The monster that Victor created was deserted by Victor to fight for himself, victor was more a monster than the creature. The monster is self-educated learning from watching from Delacy’s (“My days were spent in close attention, that I might more speedily master the language”.

    The monster was rejected by society because of appearances, and that led the monster to harsh revenge measures. For instance, Victor demolished the only opportunity of the monster having a companion; therefore, the monster became resentful towards all mankind. The new being simply desired acquaintances to learn and have fun with, but the population denied him his only wish. The creature had all the correct reasons to take drastic measures in taking revenge. Accordingly, the reader can conclude that it is wrong to judge a person based on…

    After Victor flees the monster, the monster is left to fend for himself. During this time, the monster becomes extremely lonely and depressed. He knows nothing of his origin yet seeks refuge in the woods. There he discovers a humble cottage in which a family lives. Becoming amazed by humanity, the monster lives by them for some time. Yet, eventually his loneliness overtakes him and he wishes to move in with them. They immediately call him a hideous wretch cast him out. The monster blames Victor for his loneliness and hideous appearance: “Cursed, cursed creator why do I live?! Why in that instant did I not extinguish the spark of existence you bestowed? . . . My feelings were that of rage and revenge.” (Shelly 97). This instant in which the monster is further abandoned causes him on a search in vengeance to find Victor and to confront him. Because of the monster’s characterization, being loneliness, it motivates him to revenge. As the monster travels in search of Victor, he saves a small human from dying. When the others see him and his hideous appearance, they shoot him. The monster flees in anguish and is distraught: “This is the reward of my benevolence? . . . Kindness gave way to rage and gnashing of teeth . . . I vowed eternal hatred and vengeance to all mankind.” (Shelly 101). “Thanks to the lessons of Felix, I have learned how to wreak mischief.” (Shelly 103). Since the monster’s own depiction is that of loneliness and isolation, naturally anyone would want company yet because of his appearance, he is outcast from all humanity including his own creator. Such a situation causes the monster incredible anguish and…
