Monologue From Frankenstein
His wife had passed away before he took me in and he seemed lonely most of the time, very bitter. Sometimes I wonder what my Aunt would have been like and why she was murdered. I believe the same person killing off the town’s folk is the same person that killed my family. The creature was thinning the village out but I didn’t know the reason why. My Uncle set me up to be married to a young man that owned a farm his own family having been killed by the creature that lurked through our minds. This is the only thing we shared in common despite lack of interest and completely awkward conversations that led to silence. Every night I had come home quietly and didn’t even look my Uncle in the eye. He was forcing me to be someone’s property whom I …show more content…
A girl a few inches shorter then I stood in the door way looking scared and cold so I hurried her inside. Her face was full of worry and I walked her over to the fire place draping a blanket on her shoulders. She immediately latched onto my side and began to sob and shake. I felt bad and slightly concerned because it wasn’t everyday a girl ends up in my lap past dusk especially a crying one. She spoke softly with shaken breaths “Thank you for letting me in, I have been walking through the forest for hours.” I nodded and rubbed her back soothingly “Why were you in the forest alone? I have never seen you in this village before you must not be from around here.” She shook her head and looked at me fear in her green eyes “My village is gone now I had nowhere else to go.” I blinked confused and shook my head “You must be mistaken maiden a village cannot just disappear maybe you have hit your head?” She grabbed my shoulders roughly and looked me dead in the eyes “Not disappeared miss, it has been burned to the ground all the people even my family have been murdered.” She fainted onto my lap and carried her to my bed covering her up letting her

    The pursuit of knowledge is at the heart of Frankenstein, as Victor attempts to surge beyond accepted human limits and access the secret of life. Likewise, Robert Walton attempts to surpass previous human explorations by endeavoring to reach the North Pole. This ruthless pursuit of knowledge, of the light (see “Light and Fire”), proves dangerous, as Victor’s act of creation eventually results in the destruction of everyone dear to him, and Walton finds himself perilously trapped between sheets of ice. Whereas Victor’s obsessive hatred of the monster drives him to his death, Walton ultimately pulls back from his treacherous mission, having learned from Victor’s example how destructive the thirst for knowledge can be.…

    Some people argue though that one does not need to have anything do do with ones creator like in this quote,"Man need no longer be in awe of his creator; he no longer even feel grateful for being created. He can turn his back on God with a good conscience and set about charting his own course, seeking out ways to remake an imperfectly created world, even to change his own nature for the better"(Hogsette). This quote talks about how in life now we don't need a God figure in one's life today. The monster though would disagree with this. The monster was left alone for his entire life and kept looking for something to make him happy and if his creator would have been in his life he would have known a lot more and would have made his life a lot…
