I then went back and Josephine had woke back up... I took her to the basement and eventually hung her."' These words were spoken when he was in court.

There is a power struggle between the two adversaries, which leads to both Frankenstein, and his creature ending up alone.

    Where there is so much as a speculation of an abomination, there is a society desperately scrambling to reinstate dominance. Society’s fight for supremacy is prevalent in both books, Frankenstein by Marie Shelley and Of Mice and Men by John Steinbeck. The creature from Frankenstein and Lenny from Of Mice and Men are both mortally wounded from the agonizing blows of society. They share the same cuts and bruises, but neither of the characters receives the necessary stitches to help heal the wounds. Due to the mental distress, Lennie and the creature share the same feeling of rejection that contributes to the overall theme of loneliness.…

    “What we perceive is not the truth. What appears there is not reality.” The idea of appearance vs. reality is seen in everyday lives, including religion, relationships, and school studies. Appearance vs. reality lets our minds see things differently than how they appear through perception. Choosing to ignore ideas beyond appearance and what can be seen can cause the truth, or what is beyond appearance, to become distorted leading to negative consequences. In the book Frankenstein by Mary Shelley and Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury, people, things, and even ideas are perceived in different ways and the truth is ignored. Although some may believe disregarding reality leads to simplicity…

    For my final essay I chose to compare main themes from movies Frankenstein, released in different periods. First one is from the year 1931 and the other one is from 1994. Both are based on Mary Shelley’s novel “Frankenstein or; The Modern Prometheus”, from 1818. The storyline is generally the same in both movies, but themes differ, due to different release periods. The story is about a scientist, dr. Frankenstein, who dreams of creating artificial life from dead tissue. The creature he creates becomes alive, but is not accepted neither from him, nor from the society, which leads it to become evil and dangerous. The two movies differently deal with the relationship…

    Like Adam, the creature was launched into this world without a choice in who he is, how he’ll look like, and whether he initially wanted to be created. Adam, created by God, was the first of his kind designed in the image of affection and selflessness. Comparably, Frankenstein’s creation was flung, into the world of humans, the first of his kind; however, in an immense frame and a grotesque exterior. God had designed Adam in the image of beauty to, firstly, be accepted by society; however, it seemed that Frankenstein dismissed this matter. Frankenstein constructed his ‘human’ to be very tall, standing at about 8 feet, and with gruesome features: a pale face and yellow-like eyes, which lead the society to reject and loathe the ‘Being’.…
