This time I need to do thing the right way, "Don’t make the same mistakes, make her batter, more appropriate for society!" he said out loud and began creating the female creature,
"It's all for the better if I do this everything will be O.K., it has to be" tried Frankenstein to convenes himself. With that set of mind, he used all the best parts and dedication to the work. Time past and the moment of truth came, only the final stage is left, just to push the red batten,
Frankenstein took a step back and for a moment he forgot all about the situation and admired is creation, she is indeed an improvement, she look more human, more approachable, …show more content…

"She actually moves, I did it again," he said happily, forgetting for a moment all his worries. The female creature opened her eyes, she blinked, and she began moving, "I did it" whispered Frankenstein, but then he understood what he had done" why is she steering at me like this? never mind that, why is she smiling at me, with a goofy expression on her face? what have I done, for god sack?" Frankenstein was terrified.
The female creature started to walk toured Frankenstein, "is she trying to come to me", he mumbled to himself.
"Stay right where you are, I am going to call him and say that you are ready", he said. She still trying to come to me, so he started saying "what are you... ", but then it dawned on him, "you don't understand me, do you, you still don’t know what language is",
Frankenstein started to raise his hand to sign her to stop, but before he knows it the female creature was an inch away from him, …show more content…

But, jest when you think things can't get any worse, they do, because at that moment the creature stepped into the room. "What kind of ill fate is this victor" roared the creature. "It's not what you think", said Victor. "What do you think you're doing?" asked the creature. "Nothing, it a misunderstanding" replied Frankenstein. He struggled to escape from her grip, but without success. "She is too strong, I can't escape".
"I will handle this", the creature tried to take her hand forcefully and pulled her next to him.
She began to cry and trembled when she looked at the creature and tried to go to Frankenstein. "She doesn't want me, she wants you". "What", Frankenstein felt like someone gave him a punch to the face.
"I don’t want her, I really don't, take her with you right now and disappear, that was our agreement". The creature tried, forcefully to take the female creature again but, she pushed him away, straight to the wall, the room seemed like it's about to break apart from the impact. "She's really strong, what were you thinking making her so strong?" demanded the creature.
"You stay with her". "I don’t want to" replayed Frankenstein in

  • Theme Of Empathy In Frankenstein

    She was able to accomplish this fully by highlighting the absence of a single trait in Frankenstein; he has no empathy. Empathy, the ability to feel with another creature, is an integral part of what makes us human, what separates us from inanimate objects and animals. It is possible for a person to register another creature’s emotions without truly being empathetic. True empathy requires an individual to merge identities and act upon both their own and the others’ emotions. It is the lack of empathy that fuels human brutality. If an offender were truly able to read and identify with a victim’s emotions it would become impossible for the offender to act against that being.

  • Examples Of Compassion In Frankenstein

    Victor’s lack of compassion and sympathy towards the monster causes him to become angry instead of guilty. His cruelness to his creation made the monster kill and hurt the people he did but “when [he] reflected on [the monster’s] crimes and malice, [Victor’s] hatred and revenge burst all bounds of moderation,”(Shelley 325). Without compassion Victor thinks that the only way to stop the monster is to get revenge on him, instead of just giving him the empathy and kindness that monster craved. Victor realizes that "if he were vanquished, [he] should be a free man...balanced by those horrors of remorse and guilt which would pursue [him] until death. ”(Shelley 731).

  • Frankenstein Over Time In Mary Shelley's Frankenstein Over Time

    Mary Shelley’s novel Frankenstein is impressive, entertaining, and fascinating so is it no surprise there have been so many films and artworks influenced by her novel. Many of which have put their own spin to the horror novel, especially the character of the creature that remains one of the most recognized icons in horror fiction. However, there have been critics whom argue modern versions and variations have lost the horror and passion that is an essential to the creature. The start of the Creature is bound to one book. However, public impression of the Creature has changed severely since the publication of the original novel, leading to diverse styles and plot lines in its diverse film adaptations. People’s impression of the Creature have become so twisted and turned by time and decades of false film posters and article titles that most use the name “Frankenstein” to refer to the Creature itself, rather than the scientist who created him! It’s a shame! An understanding of literary history is a necessity to comprehend the truth of the Creature’s tragic history and how decades of film adaptations changed him into the hulking beast most people know him as today.

  • Frankenstein: Mary Shelley's Ability to Create Sympathy for the Monster

    1840 Words  | 4 Pages

    Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein is ‘one of the pioneering works of modern science fiction’, and is also a frightening story that speaks to the ‘mysterious fears of our nature’. Mary Shelley mocks the idea of “playing God”, the idea that came from the Greek myth of Prometheus, of the Greek titan who stole Zeus’ gift of life. Both the story of Frankenstein and Prometheus reveal the dark side of human nature and the dangerous effects of creating artificial life. Frankenstein reveals the shocking reality of the consequences to prejudging someone. The creature’s first-person narration reveals to us his humanity, and his want to be accepted by others even though he is different. We are shown that this ‘monster’ is a ‘creature’ and more of a human than we think.

  • The Struggle Of Power In Victor Frankenstein And The Monster

    1073 Words  | 3 Pages

    Locked in a perpetual struggle for dominance, both struggle to gain internal peace. Victor Frankenstein feels obligated to destroy his creation for the good of society, and the Monster wishes to come to terms with his abandonment – both are unable to find happiness. Here there is a contrast of power: Frankenstein’s intellectual power contrary to the Monster’s physical power (this is however, not to say the Monster lacked intellectual power, only that Frankenstein possesses greater fear of the physical aspects of the Monster). The first instance of this battle for power can be seen when the Monster demands of Frankenstein to “create a female…with whom [he] can live in the interchange of those sympathies necessary for [his] being.” (p174) – here Frankenstein is in control. He is the only one that has the knowledge to create another being like the Monster, and thus, when the Monster asks this favour of Frankenstein he places his happiness in the hands of another. The Monster is dependent on the actions of another. However, there is a power reversal when Frankenstein denies the monster his ‘female’ (p174). Frankenstein dashes the Monster’s last hope at happiness, so the Monster threatens the life of his loved ones. Here, Frankenstein is at the mercy of his creation. For though “[Frankenstein is the] creator… [the Monster is his master” (p205) – here the Monster establishes his dominance over Frankenstein by outwardly stating his power over his creator. This power struggle is most effectively culminated in the chase around the globe. Yet it must be seen that neither Frankenstein and his Monster are in control. The Monster leaves clues for Frankenstein, demonstrating his need for Frankenstein to follow him, for without Frankenstein the Monster has no purpose in life. On the other hand, Frankenstein is following his creation all over the world, through desert, sea, and cold. Thus, it is clear that as a

    “Allure, Authority, and Psychoanalysis” discusses the unconscious wishes, effects, conflicts, anxieties, and fantasies within “Frankenstein.” The absence of strong female characters in “Frankenstein” suggests the idea of Victor’s desire to create life without the female. This desire possibly stems from Victor’s attempt to compensate for the lack of a penis or, similarly, from the fear of female sexuality. Victor’s strong desire for maternal love is transferred to Elizabeth, the orphan taken into the Frankenstein family. This idea is then reincarnated in the form of a monster which leads to the conclusion that Mary Shelley felt like an abandoned child who is reflected in the rage of the monster.
