“This is not life, this is not life!” Victor stared at his creation with growing horror and revulsion. “Brother, forgive me.” Suddenly a shot rang out, I turned to see the detective had tried to shoot it. With a scream of rage, the monster charged him and knocked him into the machine, and the smell of burning skin filled my nostrils. I looked away to see the monster was holding Victor, choking him. I did the most idiotic thing I could have done. WIth a scream of rage, I grabbed a piece of metal and stabbed it through the monster, grinning triumphantly as it went down. However, Victor shouted “TWO HEARTS! TWO HEARTS!” I looked to see the beast getting up, and just before it reaches me a piece of metal went through his head. As he fell, I saw Victor standing behind him grinning at the victory, and we started celebrating. …show more content…
“I-I-Inspector, I apologize for all I have done to you and o-our city,” as Victor said this, one eye would roll up and focus on him, before it uttered an unearthly shriek and charged him. As Victor ran, I stopped as I heard music, and I immediately felt drowsy. ~He tried to create life, you will be my revenge, kill him, kill him now, he twisted my work creating humanity, now he shall suffer, then you will.~ The world seemed to go into a haze, as I stumbled towards Victor against my will. I tried to stop myself, you must understand I tried to stop myself, but I couldn’t go against the creator. Victor turned to look at me, only to be greeted with a view down a shotgun barrel. In my trance, I whispered, “Two brought back, two dead.” “Igor what are yo-” I never let him finish.

Victor begins his quest to bring life to a dead person because he does not want anyone to feel the pain of a loved ones death. At first he is not obsessed with his project. As he moves along in the project he thinks about what will happen to him. "Life and death appeared to me ideal bounds, which I should first break through, and pour a torrent of light into our dark world. A new species would bless me as its creator and source, many happy and excellent natures would owe their being to me." (Shelley 39) He realizes that he will become famous if he accomplishes the task of bringing a person back to life. The realization that he will become famous turns him into an obsessive monster. He wanted to be admired, and praised as a species creator. He isolates himself from his family and works on the creature. “I had worked hard for nearly two years, for the sole purpose of infusing life into an inanimate body. For this I deprived myself of rest and health. I had desired it with an ardour that far exceeded moderation, but now that I had finished, the beauty of the dream vanished, and breathless horror and disgust filled my heart.” (Shelley 156) By spending most of his time inside on his experiment, he has no time to write or contact his family. He puts fear within his family because they fear for him.

811 wordsRead More - Frankenstein: The Modern Man-Made Mananalytical essayFor moviegoers Frankenstein’s Monster is a green, shambling corpse, with its stitched together construction held together by two bolts on its neck, as it moans and groans inhumanly. A deeper look into the actual book by Mary Shelly, Frankenstein Or, The Modern Prometheus, however, shows a far more terrifying visage: something that’s almost, but not quite, human. A being that, while “about eight feet in height”, still had a soul that “glowed with love and humanity” at birth, which causes it’s transformation into a serial killer to be far more chilling (Shelly 100). The source of the Monster, and how it differs from other characters, is what obviously creates this irreconcilable gap from the human characters. Contextually, during the writing of Frankenstein, industrialization swept through Mary Shelly’s Great Britain. The change in society caused by industrialization can be seen in the work as a whole. Thus it is clear Frankenstein argues that the loss of originality in an industrialized society leads to dehumanization and alienation, as exemplified in the manufactured Monster.

2090 wordsRead More - Frankenstein As A Modern Legend In Mary Shelley's Frankensteinanalytical essayMary Shelley’s novel Frankenstein is one of the most timeless classics we have in literature today. Being a young person, I am very appreciative of older works that are still able to captivate me. When I read this story, it resonated with me in several different ways, as I have always been interested stories having to do with the creation and/or augmentation of life through artificial means. Along with being intriguing, such stories are not far from reality. In the present, people see Mary’s story as a modern legend. This term however can be interpreted in a couple of different ways. The first thing I thought of was how people can perceive the story to be a fable today, and secondly, can we view Frankenstein as a myth during the time when Mary Shelley was alive. I aim to explore the first option after establishing the definition of a “modern legend”, which is “a fiction myth that relates to current events”. Frankenstein is most definitely a modern legend, exploring many different scientific developments that at the time were seen as nothing more than ridiculous fiction. Today these ideas are much more believable, and even close to being possible. The reality of Mary Shelly's story is in fact more realistic today, making it a myth in the sense that we are unsure if it could really happen.

What I found after reading this novel, however, was even more horrific than man giving life to a creature using various parts of corpses. Frankenstein 's cruelty in subjecting his creation to a life of abandonment, loneliness, and emotional torture was the ultimate gruesome act. One aspect particularly interesting, and frustrating to me was that I found Frankenstein to be a selfish coward. When his creation reached out for him, he abandoned him (Shelley, 1818). In contrast, with my opinion that Frankenstein is selfish, he refused to create a

He once wrote, “William is dead!-that sweet child, whose smiles delighted and warmed my heart, who was so gentle, yet so gay! Victor, he is murdered!”(46) At the sight of those words, Victor knew immediately that his creation had committed this crime. Victor then decided to make a visit home and be with his family. When walking in the field one evening, Victor saw a shadow lurking among the trees in the exact spot where William was murdered. Questioning the figure, he moved closer, hoping to get a better view.

But Victor tells Walton that, “During these last days I have been occupied in examining my past conduct; nor do I find it blamable […] nor do I know where this thirst for vengeance may end” (269). Victor is not able to see past the metaphorical clouds that seem to shroud his mind from seeing the truth. Furthermore, Victor is not able to let go of his hate for the creature. In contrast, the creature admits, “But it is true that I am a wretch. I have murdered the lovely and the helpless” (275). The creature is able to recognize that he has made mistakes and as a result he loathes himself. He tells Walton that, “You hate me, but your abhorrence cannot equal that with which I regard myself” (275). Although no amount of regret or sorrow can bring back the people that he has killed, the creature does acknowledge the evil of his actions, which in turn allow him to make come to peace.

1654 wordsRead More - Frankenstein Romanticism Essayanalytical essayAt first, Victor believes himself superior to nature, and he builds a creature to prove his dominance. After gathering the information and materials needed to create life, Victor begins to fantasize about what he is about to do. He sees “life and death [as] ideal bounds, which [he] should first break through, and pour a torrent of light into [their] dark world. A new species would bless [him] as its creator and source, many happy and excellent natures would owe their being to [him]” (Shelley 55). Life and death are natural things, but Victor thinks that he can “break through” them and create life. He alone would be the person to “pour a torrent of light into their dark world,” as if he was God, ruling over all of the world. This shows Victor’s lack of respect towards life and how he intends to overcome the boundaries set by nature. Unlike the Romantic who revered and honored nature, Victor wants to use it for his own gain.
