The Monstrosity In Victor and the Creature
The Monstrosity in Victor and The Creature
Throughout the novel, the idea of monstrosity is expressed straightforwardly. Between the Creature’s hideous image and Victor’s abuse of knowledge, it’s hard to tell who the real monster is in the story. Standing at eight feet tall and with grotesque bodily features, the Monster is shunned by the world. He was created out of many stolen body parts and brought to life in the most unusual way. He is not only brought to life by Victor’s workings with science, but also of dark, supernatural force. Compared to the Creature, Victor is just an ordinary looking man, but deep within his heart, darkness has consumed him. His pursuit of knowledge has been taken to the extremes when he decides to reanimate a corpse. His life revolves around achieving this scientific wonder, which has a tragic ending to it. To society, the creature is this terrible, vicious monster that shouldn’t be accepted. The Monster was abandoned by its creator, did things he didn’t know were wrong, and in the end was just a kid who didn’t know what to do. Victor, however, was the one who left him, who shunned him, and who regretted ever making him. He got himself into something he couldn’t get out of
Chaplin 2 because he followed the desires of his dark heart. He pursued something that made him a monster. The Creature wouldn’t have been a terrible monster if Victor hadn’t acted like one. Victor was the only influence this monster had before Victor left him all alone. Then the Creature relied on society to tell him who he was, which was a monster without a place in the world. Overall, Victor knew better not to leave him, but he still did and the Creature didn’t know better and was called a Monster because he was different than others. The novel expresses that true monstrosity is judging and hating something that you don’t quite understand yet and most of all, not making an effort to try to understand
