Why Is Mary Shelley's Frankenstein: Fact Or Fiction?
As rain plastered against his fur, he bounded across the forest floor hoping for some way to evade the seemingly endless onslaught of water pour down.

Usually, the howl of the wind would be at bay, panes of glass keeping him at a safe distance from the elements. Suddenly, the escape he vied for for so long didn’t feel worth it anymore.

The rain was cold. Colder than even the basement back at his old den, or house as the no-furs call it. He was constantly being driven there, the darkness soothing him as a no-fur screeched at him. He didn’t do anything wrong, it just seemed like even getting close to one of them would suddenly direct so much hate and anger on him.

Usually, he would ignore the anger, but today was different. Something clicked

He didn’t know how much time passed. Each droplet of rain was just another, falling one after another after another after another after…

“Hey!” A voice sounded out spontaneously from the rhythm of pattering rain, making him jump. He ignored it, telling himself that it was probably just his mind playing tricks on him.

He would have believed it, if the cries didn’t get louder and louder as a vague shape walked into his line of sight.

“Hey there! Are you alright?” the creature’s voice sounded feminine, and he could tell that she was getting closer as this time the voice was much louder. Fear gripped him as he thought back at all those stories his neighbourhood friends told him, bloodthirsty savage cats in the forest, who kill for fun and laugh at their prey as blood flows out of their life-sustaining arteries and heave for their last breaths and...maybe he was just thinking too much.

As his deep breath created a small plume of mist, he watched, surprised, as a pair of green eyes appeared through the mist.

“You look half frozen to death!” she exclaimed. “Come with me, I can show you where you can get all nice and warm,” she beckoned him with a flick of her

    This comes in the form of a similar occurrence with Essay as she stood in front of the storm-like waterspout bursting out of the lake; facing it just as Gar faced the storm in an earlier chapter. As “The steam at its base dropped into the lake as if a spell had been broken,” (450) Edgar had finally recognized what he had to be doing instead of literally running away from his problems. This weatherly occurrence made him have this epiphany that he must face his dilemmas; he has to face the storm which had been constantly brewing throughout the novel. The waterspout became the physical embodiment of his fear of Claude, returning home, and the consequences of killing Dr. Papineau. Many novels use drastic changes of weather like this in order to put the main character into a situation where they must grow in order to move on.…

    Mary Shelley explored many controversial and unprecedented topics in her novel Frankenstein. These topics were meant, not only to cause people to reflect upon them, but to warn people of the dangers encountered by characters in her novel that pursued knowledge of these ideas and topics. She specifically focused on characters Victor Frankenstein and Robert Walton as they sought after knowledge pertaining to regions of science that have never been investigated or thoroughly…

    “Wolves” Ulrich said under his breath. They both look at each other in fear. There was a long moment of silence. Georg broke the silence with a loud scream for help. “Shut your mouth!” Ulrich yelled “they might not find us if we’re quiet.” There was another long moment of silence until they herd whimpers and cries from the wolves. They looked at each other, both confused, both knowing they were thinking the same thing from their facial expression. Both laid silently.…

    When was the last time you asked someone to check for a creature living under your bed? To a 5 year old, this is a true monster. Do you remember the infuriating feeling you felt upon hearing about a terrorist’s appalling crimes? Some might call a terrorist, a real monster. Who knows what truly a monster is? In the end we tend to follow the statement “to each, his own”. We all have our own opinions based on our own maturity, values, ideas, and worldly experience. Each connotation of the word “monster” however, traces back to the same basic principles that are acknowledged by the masses. The dictionary, combining the separate meanings of the word into one accepted and referred to, states that a monster is any human or animal so grotesquely deviating from normal shape, behavior or character or a person who excites horror by wickedness or cruelty. In today’s society, the average person and the majority of the population’s way of thinking would find the creature to be the real monster of Mary Shelly’s Frankenstein. The evidence and support shows that the creature fits the definition of monster on all literal and objective levels.…

    It took just that one moment of mourning for the beloved I would never have for me to make a mistake. My arm brushed a low-hanging branch. Its leaves rustled, and the boy whipped around. I lunged behind a tree and froze, hoping I hadn’t been caught. He heard a melodic voice call out, “Who’s here?” Remaining behind the tree, I called back his last word.…
