Frankenstein Essay
Merry Shelly’s Frankenstein shows how Victor ignores many things like his social life, family and most of all his own creation. Victor Frankenstein ignores the creature completely; he doesn’t give the creature any of his attention. The creature tries his best to get Victor’s attention by talking to him first, but when that doesn’t work on Victor; the creature changes his game to violence. Merry Shelly shows that you cannot ignore problems, you can either confront them positively or they will require your attention through negative responses.
When Victor Frankenstein first saw the creature alive, it wasn’t what he had expected it to be. The creature didn’t look like how Victor imagined it would look like, because Victor expected the creature to look beautiful and the creature turned out completely different. Victor instantly tries to ignore the creature and leaves, “unable to endure the aspect of the being i had create, i rush out of the room and continued a long time traversing my bed-chamber…” said Victor (page 49). Victor runs away from the creature instead of confronting him. The least victor could have done was at least talk to the creature or even destroy him. Victor didn’t listen to the creature or give him any of his attention.
The creature wants Victor’s attention and wants victor to take responsibility for him and take care of him. After the creature was ignored by Victor the first time he saw him, the creature confronts victor “yet you, my creator, detest and spurn me,...do your duty towards me and i will do mine towards you and the rest of mankind. if you comply with my conditions, i will leave them and you at peace; but if you refuse, i will glut the maw of death, until it be satiated with the blood of your remaining friends” (pages 95-96). This shows that the creature wants Victor to be his father and take care of him because he is the one that created him and if Victor is
