How Victor’s Creation became a Monster in Frankenstein
The name of Mary W. Shelley somehow hidden behind the fame of her best known work, Frankenstein. The story of Frankenstein has past through the years without being forgotten, while the name of Mary Shelley is unknown to the general public. Following the plot of her own story, Mary Shelley is, somehow, the "victim" of her creation. Frankenstein can be seen as the story of a terrible monster who threatens society. It is the purpose of this essay to illustrate that it is actually society that has made a monster of Frankenstein.
Victor Frankenstein is a young and eminent student who decides to break the bounderies between life and death.
His desire will take him to work hard , even getting seriously ill , to achieve something that nobody has reached before : life after death .He devotes himself to that single pursuit :
"I was thus enganged , heart and soul , in one pursuit " (p.59)
but everything changes when he sees for the first time his creation:
"How can I describe my emotions at this catastrophe?" and "I beheld the wretch - the miserable monster whom I had created "(p.62 and 63).
From this moment , the new creation is idetified as a monster , and just like that will be treated during the whole story , not only by a cruel and intolerant society , but by his creator, Victor , who rejects him from the beginning.
Frankenstein , for me , is the sad story of those who are shaped by hostility , who spend their lives running away from hatred and looking for something called happiness.
This is the story of a ...
... middle of paper ...
...e purest creature of earth?"(p.210)
The monster has fulfilled his threaten : is the answer to an indiferent Victor who could have stopped everythig from the beginnig but that now is paying the highest price : seing those he loves killed by his own creation.
Victor is , with his decisions , the guilty one for every murder: he is the one who decided to create human being , but was not able to be responsible for him and he could have stopped the deaths by creating a female mate for his monster , instead , he broke a promise knowing the consequences.
Finally , I would like to say that Frankenstein is the story of a stupid man who played to be God , who failed but who never took the responsability for what he had done . I t is the story of those who are always searchig for love and who ask themselves if life is worthy.
The causes of most cases of lupus is unknown, but it is believed that it is a result of both genetics and environment. Some people are genetically predisposed to lupus, and the onset of the disease can sometimes be triggered by some types of infections, drugs and even sunlight. Medications such as anti-seizure drugs, blood pressure medications and antibiotics. People with lupus brought on by drugs usually see their symptoms disappear when they stop the medication. In people who are susceptible to lupus sunlight can bring on lupus skin lesions.
Lupus comes in four different forms. They are Systemic Lupus Erythematosus, Discoid(cutaneous), Drug-induced Lupus, and Neonatal Lupus. “Systemic lupus is typically the most common form of lupus and generally considered more serious than the other three forms”(www.lupusmn.org). Systemic lupus can also be called SLE(www.lupusmn.org). Symptoms tend to show among patients and c...
This website is about Systemic Lupus Erythematosus and it's very easy to use because it gives a lot of information about the disease. Yes the information is relevant because it asks what Lupus is, who can get it, what causes it, and the symptoms of it. Yes it is very easy to understand because of they way it was typed. The source is very reliable, I can tell by the information that was put and it's a government website.
Usually your body produces antibodies to fight off invaders such as Viruses or diseases but since Lupus is an autoimmune disease; the immune system can’t tell the difference between foreign invaders and healthy tissues. There 3 types of Lupus Systemic Lupus (most common) which can affect any part of the body, Discoid Lupus which only affects the skin, and Drug induced Lup...
Lupus is a dangerous disease that can affect anyone. It has no cure and is known to affect 9 out of 10 adults. “Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), also called lupus, is a chronic inflammatory autoimmune disease characterized by unusual antibodies in the blood that target tissues of the body.” (Frazier & Drzymkowski, 2008) Autoimmune means that your immune system cannot tell the difference between foreign invaders and your body’s healthy tissues and creates autoantibodies that attack and destroy healthy tissue. These autoantibodies cause inflammation, pain, and damage in various parts of the body. Lupus affects each individual differently and it may be worse for one person than it is for another. My grandmother, Carolyn, was diagnosed with Systemic lupus erythematosus in her early forties. She suffered a long time before she was diagnosed with Lupus. “The worst part of my lupus is the flare-ups” Carolyn said, “It feels as if I am on fire sometimes and every single inch of my body hurts in the most awful way I have ev...
The main cause of lupus is unknown, but there are believed to be many factors that could contribute to lupus. Lupus is believed to be genetic for many individuals (Ohio State, 2009). If a mother has SLE, her daughter has a 1:40 chance of developing lupus, whereas, her son has a 1:250 chance (Leber, 2009). Environmental issues could be present where the cause in the environment is unknown. SLE can also be caused by some medications. The disease may be present while taking the medication, but disappear when the individual stops taking the medication. The majority of people who have lupus are women between late teens to forty-five. Females are affected three to ten times more likely than males (Ohio State, 2009). African American women are more likely to develop lupus than Caucasian women (Leber, 2009).
Systemic Lupus Erythematosus, referred to as SLE or lupus, is a chronic, long term disease that causes inflammation, pain and swelling. SLE can be confused with other health problems due to its wide range of symptoms. SLE affects the skin, joints, and other organs in the body such as the kidneys, the tissue lining the lungs (pleura) and heart
Lupus is a chronic inflammatory disease that occurs when the body's immune system attacks its tissues and organs. This is similar to “friendly fire” and can cause permanent scarring that in the end will damage the function of certain organs and systems in the body. There are five different types of Lupus; Discoid lupus erythematosus, Subacute cutaneous lupus erythematosus, Drug-induced lupus, Neonatal lupus and Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE). However, Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE) being the most common and typically being considered the most serious, this paper will discuss this type in detail. Systemic Lupus Erythematosus accounts for approximately 70 percent of all cases of lupus (Statistics on Lupus).
Monsters can come in various physical forms, but all monsters share the same evil mentality. A Monster is a being that harms and puts fear within people. Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein is a prime example of how appearance does not determine whether a creature is a monster or not. In the story, Victor Frankenstein tries to change nature by creating a super human being. The being appears to be a monster. Victor becomes so obsessed with his creation and then rejects it. Victor is the real monster because of his desire for power, lack of respect for nature, and his stubbornness.
Lupus has no precise meaning when used alone due to the various types, but it is a broad term for a chronic, progressive, skin disease. The types of lupus include: Lupus nephritis, Cutaneous lupus erythematosus, neuropsychiatric lupus, discoid lupus erythematosus, lupus pernio, lupus vulgaris, drug induced lupus erythematosus, and the most crucial systematic lupus erythematosus. The immune system is designated to attack foreign substances, but with lupus the immune system accidently attacks healthy cells and tissues damaging many parts of the body including: joints, the skin, kidneys, lungs, the heart, blood vessels, and the brain. Some people may only experience the skin symptoms which would indicate they have discoid lupus erythematosus, lupus pernio, lupus vulgaris, or cutaneous lupus erythematosus, but those that experience more problems are generally the systematic lupus erythematosus patients.
Socrates discuses the decline of the aristocratic regime and the rule of the philosopher king as that leads to the four lower political structures. In doing so, Socrates warns and explains to the individual or group of people that dominate each system of government about the defects which cause the decline of the city and reduces it to a lower level of political organization. The rise and fall of each regime are discussed throughout the eighth book of the Republic starting from the best regime which they all agreed on according to the statement “we have already discussed the man who resembles aristocracy, whom we rightly affirm to be both good and just” (Republic, 544e-545a). The discussion ends by talking about the tyrannical man as they agree that tyranny is the worst regime and that it is necessary for them to compare the most just and the most unjust regime based on what Socrates said: “in order that we may get a view of the most unjust man, and contrast him with the most just” (Republic,
Since inception, the company has always embraced aggressive promotions and marketing campaigns that have enabled the company to remain competitive in its energy drink industry. The company targets active males in the age bracket 18-35 years according to O’Brien (2012) as its target market. Over time, the company has developed various slogans to market their products though their logo has remained unchanged. The most famous slogan “Red Bull gives you wings” has been used to market the Red Bull brand in various English and German speaking countries over the last decade.
“... it is evident… we must regard as the best constitution a combination of...these three varieties” (Polybius, Histories, 6.3).
Red Bull has becoming hugely successful and operates within the global soft drink marketplace. Within the soft drink industry its niche is the ‘energy drink’ market, of which Mateschitz was largely responsible for creating. Red Bull currently is the leading energy drink across the entire globe. It holds 70% of the market worldwide (Gschwandtner, 2004). Once the drink was passed by health ministries, Red Bull entered the Austrian market, soon thereafter then moved into Germany, United Kingdom and the USA by 1997.
