When Warren and Theo enter Grayson, Louisiana, they noticed a large commotion to the right side of the town. The were police cars and an ambulance outside of a blue, large house with a grey roof. All the neighbors were out in their yards watching the paramedics and the cops enter and exit the house. Warren drove over to the street and parked so they could go see what was going on. The lady across the street from the blue house told them that a man brutally murdered his wife about half an hour ago. As she explained the story, the boys noticed the similarity of her story to the story of their mother’s death, and they knew that it had to be the same creature. They left the scene to go look around the town for anything that would possibly …show more content…
Chamberlain’s murder… Mr. Chamberlain was in Cottonwood, Arizona trying to find the creature involved in seven recent murders in the area that had to deal with husbands murdering their wives. He was right on the creatures track in the sewers when he sees its shadow on the wall. The creature was doing something awful. It shed it’s skin of the man whose wife was just murdered.

They are very hard to decipher from an actual human being, unless the shine their white iris to let people know what they are. Shape-shifters can be killed in one of two ways, either by a silver bullet or blade through the heart, or by decapitation. John runs up to the creature to try and catch it of guard, but it saw him coming and was already transforming to mirror John’s image. John was shocked that the shape-shifter already knew who he was because that meant it saw him before and knew what he did for a living.

    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.Monstrosity…

    What makes a monster? Is monstrosity purely physical or is monstrosity a term used to denote immoral behavior? However one chooses to answer this question one must inevitably speak about the “monster” in relation to other beings in a given society at a particular time. In this essay I attempt to not only capture the “monster” as an engineered body, but also highlight the connection and possible tension between scientific knowledge and the morality of scientists and society during the Scientific Revolution/Enlightenment period. Traveling back in time to the 1700’s I will show readers that all that is needed to create a monster is an engineer, parts, a spark, society and a little science. Lastly, I will reflect on how advancements in science…

    Over the course of Frankenstein, Viktor Frankenstein undergoes a drastic emotional transformation as a result of his experiments which resulted in the creation of his Creature. Frankenstein's trips to Montavert, and his descriptions of the scene on his solitary excursions, show a clear sense of an emotional 'before and after.' In his visits to Montavert before the birth of his Creature, Frankenstein saw a sublime and beautiful scene. However, his accounts are drastically different - upset, guilty and disturbed - when Viktor returns, after leaving his Creature and experiencing the deaths of his brother William, and the wrongful execution of Justine Moritz. These drastic changes in Frankenstein's emotions are shown through his portrayals of nature. These changes in Frankenstein can also be seen as a parallel to the changes undergone by Mary Shelley in her own life, reflecting the disillusionment she felt with Romantic literature.…

    Perception in society has a huge effect on the way people treat one another. In most cases, that perception is usually flawed. It is greatly affected by looks, height, weight, and other physical traits. An example would be a student categorizing his teacher as strict and aggressive because of his height or because of the tone of his voice. Also an overweight person is usually classified as a non athletic individual. Flawed perception had an enormous effect on the monster’s behaviour throughout his experience as a living being. Many examples of flawed perception are evident in Mary Shelley’s novel, Frankenstein. Stereotypes and fear are examples of flawed perception. The consequence of those flawed perceptions can be seen through…

    Transhumanist ideals and human enhancements find themselves under great scrutiny again and again because of ethical concerns over whether humanity should possess the capability to alter what it naturally is. Bioethical attacks jump on new and controversial procedures and are quick to compare them to the experiments of the Nazi Mengele or the fictional Victor Frankenstein. The two are quite similar, performing unnatural experiments kept away from the public eye. Both played God in their own ways, but only because their actions were deliberately gruesome and unnecessary in nature. It is not truly understood if these scientific tragedies and those similar are performed for the sake of experimentation with a dangerous lust for what is seen as…

    Frankenstein’s monster is most frequently seen as, of course, a monster. He is fearsome naturally, but he has the mind and spirit of a developing human child. The creature’s youthful demeanor exhibits itself through many examples. The most prevalent childish behaviors he has are; the creature’s fear of being alone and seeking attention and love, being completely unbiased and not judgmental at the dawn of his creation, and his lack of knowledge of the world around him.…

    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”. P 99) while Victor was taught in school (“When I had attained the age of seventeen my parents resolved that I should become a student at the University of Ingolstadt”.
